I got 3 C's, is USC out of the question?

<p>Im in the exact same position as you- GPA is sort of low for USC, but test scores are good (30 ACT) and I assume my essays/recs/EC’s are alright, but I got one C+ this past semester. I still managed to have a 3.9 weighted for the semester, but I got that one bad grade which might be killer. I was skimming through the USC Fall 2011 Decisions thread, and to be honest, it doesn’t look like either of us have that great of a chance. All of the kids who got in had 2250+ SAT’s and 4.0’s…but then again, they all qualified for scholarships so they are at the top of the applicant pool. Hopefully USC doesn’t think too badly of our C’s and we get an acceptance letter in March!</p>
