<p>If you have look at the Money Matters page under admissions, you see the average SAT/ACT and GPA for each scholarship and whether or not OOS tuition waivers are part of the deal…and that makes it a really good deal. As with any average, you might find people who received these scholarships with lower stats but USC is getting more competitive each year. What I don’t know about these scholarships is if there is some more subjective measures (I know there is for mcnair and carolina scholars) so your ECs may help or hurt.</p>
<p>You seem to fall in the general parameters of some of the scholarships but I would encourage you to try and improve your SAT to have the best shot possible! While it is interesting to hear how other people did on CC, I always encourage kids to talk to an admissions officer. They will be your best guide for where you stand and what you need to do.</p>
