<p>msheft- those of us here on these threads can only guess about chances based on what we’ve seen others post here. First of all, the GPA you quoted is not readily understood here because USC looks at GPA based on a 4.0 scale. Your son’s ACT looks good as it is in the middle 50% of accepted students for 2008.

<p>You can also compare his stats and ec’s to others who were accepted last year in this thread:

Most of the students accepted in January and February were invited back to interview for one of the BIG scholarships (full or half.)</p>
<p>Good luck to you and your son!</p>
