Should I let USC's accepted rate discourage me?

<p>They accept about 25% of students, but how realistic is that? Do I have a shot at the University of Southern California. </p>

<p>I am a sophomore in a Connecticut High School going into 11th next year. My GPA is around 3.75-3.8 unweighted and a 4.38 weighted. I am president in one club, possibly two. I am also a lead volunteer at Yale Hospital, volunteered for over 160 hours and I am a full-time writer for two sports websites. I take all honors classes and one AP class. I plan to double major in Finance or Economics and Journalism/ Communications. What are my chances at these schools?</p>

<p>I don’t think it should discourage you from applying to the school but you can take it into consideration. Depending on how good your grades will be in your junior year,SAT, etc. I think you can make it. :)</p>
