<p>SAT scores cannot be as important as other parts of your application. it takes two seconds to look over a score. sure low scores like 1500s are probably rejected pretty fast just because USC is a academically challenging school. but usc does look at the other things. i got a 500 on my writing and got nominated for presidential scholarship. I am going into math/science so writing isn’t extremely important, but that is still a really low score. if i was you i would appeal it and make sure I showed how badly i want to go to USC (other than just im a legacy child) and the specific reasons that it is a perfect fit for me. I think there is no college in the world that is better than USC and that showed through my essays. i sort of think that is the reason i was accepted.</p>
