<p>Hi and congratulations to all of you! You must be beyond excited and proud! Very impressive schools you turned down, too. </p>
<p>My daughter, a junior in h.s., has USC at the top of her list with hopes of getting into the BS/MS-OT program. Occupational Therapy is something she’s very interested in. But even if she decides to change majors, I’m sure USC will have a lot of options!</p>
<p>So, my question is: What type of GPAs, tests scores, ECs, etc. do you all have? I’m curious! My daughter is a straight A student with the exception of her first B (in AP US History) since 6th grade. She’s taken upper level classes, ie; honor and I believe she’ll have a total of four AP classes. National Honor Society and Key Club service clubs at school. Concert Choir and Jazz Singers. She just took the US History and Bio SAT subject tests last week and will take the SAT and ACT for the first time soon. Getting ready to take AP exams at the end of the week. As for extra-curriculars, she’s hoping to get a group of residents in a senior community or nursing home together for “sing-alongs”. That way she can utilize her singing expertise, as well as volunteering a service. She has a list of other volunteer activites she’s participated in. That includes 10 days in Guatemala last summer. She also plans to shadow an OT at some point.</p>
<p>It would be very helpful if you can share your stats with me so I can show them to her. One of her school valedictorians and fellow Jazz/Choir singers just got accepted to SC as a music major (instrument). </p>
<p>Thank you and best of luck to you at USC!</p>
