<p>After hearing all these astronomical scores and GPAs being rejected, let’s celebrate those of us who are, apparently, extraordinary human beings with less than astronomical scores who still got in.</p>
<p>Let’s do this:</p>

<p>these are my daughters stats…
gpa: 3.4

major:theatre
ECs: nationally ranked athelete, professional actress</p>
<p>reason she was admitted: the heavens opened up.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.6
SAT: No

Toefl: No
But I still get in for this FALL and first choice</p>
<p>usc09- I believe the OP was talking about Freshman admittance rather than your transfer stats.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.4
SAT: 2060 (790, 670, 600)</p>
<p>meh</p>
<p>bump for current applicants, like myself, that are extremely underqualified by CC standards.</p>
<p>i like this thread</p>
<p>good bump :]</p>
<p>“reason she was admitted: the heavens opened up.”</p>
<p>LOL, oh, CC mothers : P</p>
<p>I love this thread!!! 
It’s not your numbers but what you do in life!</p>
<p>Update: So, my daughter has a year under her belt. Ready? Admissions and Mom (that would be me) who admitted/pushed my daughter to go to USC knew what they were doing. </p>
<p>(This for those of you who, when admitted, doubt your stats and/or ability to succeed at SC)</p>
<p>My daughter’s grades are in the B/Bplus (overall) gpa. She joined a club sports team and a sorority. She is really happy. So, when the big envelope comes be it expected or a surprise: Go for it! You’ll be in for the ride of your life.</p>
<p>have you guys already been notified?? that does mean you got in with a scholarship?</p>
<p>GPA: 90/100 - ~3.5
SAT: 2180
Major: Architecture
Reason I got in: Portfolio most likely.</p>
<p>Arctic92: Sorry, you are not underqualified. Take a seat up front…(and you didn’t even state whether your grades were weighted or unweighted)</p>
<p>Enjoy SC!</p>
<p>hahaha that was funny.</p>
<p>I’m still curious though, all of you who have been accepted, were you notified during the 1st wave or has the 2nd wave already started?</p>
