<p>The TO advisors said they look at the combined CR and Writing SAT scores (not so much at the math) plus other criteria, so if you are excellent at reading and writing you should have a great shot.</p>
<p>This is info from the website:</p>
<p>Only students who have been ADMITTED to the University of Southern California may apply to the Thematic Option Honors Program.</p>
<p>Continuing USC students, transfer students, and spring admits may not apply to the Thematic Option Honors Program.</p>
<p>Students of all majors may apply to the Thematic Option Honors Program.</p>
<p>Thematic Option students have average SAT I scores above 2150 and an average high school GPA of 4.0. These are NOT minimum standards to apply for the program, though SAT scores and GPA will be considered as applications are reviewed. Students with significantly lower SAT scores or GPA may be asked to submit supplemental materials such as writing samples.</p>
