usc chances

<p>First off, no need to start losing sleep now. That’s what next fall is for. (JK, stressing about what’s done has no value. Making the best of it has value.) You cut your losses in a few classes. Trying new things to find your path… that’s life. </p>

<p>You do need to meet a minimum (albeit undefined) threshold to get past the numbers game, with your SAT being the weak link. Have you tried the ACT? Some kids, my DS as one, do much better with the different test. His unweighted GPA was slightly below USC’s average, with weighted higher. You look like you’re in the same position. Your senior schedule is tougher than his by far. He got in on one of the early rounds btw.</p>

<p>So try the ACT or do some extra prep on the SAT and you’re looking good!</p>

<p>Hey eivita3-</p>

<p>I like what SoCalGal09 said-

</p>

<p>I know- that’s easier said than done! :)</p>

<p>I really don’t have any advice that has not already been given here. None of us can really know for sure but you sound like an enthusiastic student and that goes a long way. Your leadership experience is a real plus. Make sure you focus and show your passion in your essays.</p>

<p>One teeny little bit of advice that you probably won’t like. The culture of these threads pushes members here to be neat, clean, and as accurate as possible in posting. Try to present your questions with proper spelling and capitalization. It’s tough to read your posts because you seem to be in a hurry. Clean applications will be a must so practice that here.</p>

<p>I really do wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>ha ha- I better re-read my post for spelling and other mistakes:D</p>

<p>you’re right, ill try to work on that.</p>

<p>One big thing I’m still worried about though, is that one C i got in my elective honors engineering class and the two AP’s i left junior year.</p>

<p>Thanks to the people who have written back so far.</p>

<p>alright…so i’ve retaken
SAT: 1910
Math I : 650
Math II : 620</p>

<p>im working on my personal statements already and i have good resources for revising/editing/helping in general so i think i’ll do very well on my essays. should i retake again? :[</p>

<p>eivita3 - Given how dedicated you are to achieving admittance to USC, I’d consider retaking the SATs if I were you. Your scores are OK, but you have absolutely nothing to lose by trying again. Often scores go up because you know what to expect are prepared. </p>

<p>I would also suggest you take advantage of the interview opportunity if possible. Not only can you interview on campus, but the USC reps interview all over the country. It gives you a chance to tell them face to face your hopes and aspirations.</p>

<p>Unless that is your superscore, what is it?</p>

<p>my super is only a 1920…so i guess ill take it again…is it absolutely hopeless with a 1910 though?. and yeah ill look into that interview, but im not sure what i want to be majoring in…any thoughts about what i should do?</p>

<p>and for the record my scores are a little higher…
my gpa will be a 4.29 W/3.79UW</p>

<p>man…starting to get all worked up again >.<</p>
