<p>Wow, I hope I can get in. </p>
<p>After talking it over with the rents, the current idea is for me to go to Columbia (if I can get in), stay there on campus with a car there on campus too, and on the weekends go to Hilton Head when I please (it’s a two and a half hour drive). I like the idea a lot. And I agree with you on Beaufort and it was always a little worry in the back of my mind. </p>
<p>Now my only worry is getting in to USC, I am worried I may not be able to. I have no sports or extracurricular stuff, just a weight 3.26 gpa, although I think by the end of this year (11th grade) I should have it up. I am also expecting to be taking some APs next year and I am hoping I will do well on the SATs/ACTs as I have been working hard with a tutor on them. </p>
<p>If I do not get into Columbia, maybe I can go to Beaufort until I can transfer to Columbia? Do you think this is possible and how long would I have to go to Beaufort? I hope not though, I really hope I can get in to USC. </p>
<p>Oh ya one other thing, on Naviance which gives the average SATs and GPAs of the kids accepted to colleges from my school said that the average for USC was 3.10!? Maybe that average is affected by kids that got in through sports?</p>
