USC School of Cinematic arts acceptance ability

In terms of getting “Chanced” for USC, it is virtually impossible for others to predict what may or may not occur in your specific case. With an admit rate now below 13% and falling, and with 4K+ applicants with 4.0 unweighted GPAs and test scores in the 99th percentile among those not gaining admission, your success will instead likely depend on too many potential factors for anyone to correctly evaluate… making predicting admission nearly impossible.

Instead… it will likely come down to a composite and holistic analysis of your stats coupled with writing ability / essays, ECs, potential leadership roles, potential other unique qualifiers (URM, First Gen, geography, demographics, etc.), your Why USC? explanation/reasoning, etc.

I suggest possibly reading an excellent thread on the topic from the beginning…

Moreover, it may be best to just read through the following very helpful insider’s guide to USC admissions…

Gaining admission to the School of Cinematic Arts is even more challenging. The admit rate for SCA is more likely in the 2-6% range. But, as it is a creative program, your submissions and writing samples could potentially say them a bit. They have some leeway in terms of who they can lobby for. Generally speaking, most admits do have unweighted GPAs at 3.7 or higher and with SAT scores at 1350 or higher, so I would urge you to try and raise your test score especially. Exceptions with lower scores/stats do of course get in, but there needs to be a compelling reason for such… i.e. URM, FirstGen, athlete, performer, creative talent, etc.

Good Luck…
