HOW I GOT INTO USC WITH A LOW SAT | MY STATS + ESSAYS

[@justsomeguywithasandwich5906]

Im no admission officer but a advice that I got from my college counselor is that… “GPA and SAT are for scholarships and to get college to notice you, they play a major role, but your Essay and Extracurriculars are what helps them choose between you and the other applicants.”

[@josetoledo3289]

OMGGG YOU’RE GIVING ME HOPE IM GOING TO BE A RISING SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I HAVE A 3.7 GPA😆. IK STATS AREN’T EVERYTHING BUT IT’S GIVING ME CONFIDENCE THAT I THINK I HAVE A CHANCE

[@nataliatunajek9879]

did you get in?!

[@juanhernandez7758]

the lord has a plan. amen girl.

[@efio7363]

Your unweighted GPA is about the same as mine, but you must have taken a nice workload of APs and Honors. My weighted GPA is about a 3.88 but that's because my school only offers I can only take at most 2 APs per year during my upperclassmen years bc of prerequisites, and I got a B in Algebra I in 8th grade, and instead of having 3.9 in Freshmen year, I had a 3.7, so it's nice to know that I have a chance to still get into USC with my scores and my extracurriculars, especially since I've been going about my main one since elementary school. I'm also becoming a better writer, and I'm becoming so much more hopeful for when I apply this fall

[@omarsacademia1228]

It’s depends on how the school weight the classes. My school valedictorians GPA’s are 4.44 (the highest) and that’s because they weight a semester of honors 0.02. For me I took Honors Microbiology this year (Junior) and will take General Psychology (Dual enroll) during the summer. Also I’m taking Honors/AP Chem II and Honors/AP Gov and dual enroll in English 4 Technical writing. Also I’m taking Trig/Analytic Geometry which is considered Honors in many school. The highest GPA I can get is 4.1 which means then jump is 0.1 while having a 4.0 weighted GPA. But if I were in other school, I might have 4.3 or 4.4 weighted or even higher

Do you know if USC counts freshman year?

Hi, I am a high school senior and have 4.14 weighted GPA and 3.86 unweighted GPA. Does anyone know or think if this is a good enough or safe GPA for USC? You guys can be very honest. I am going through college apps rn and I really need serious advice or feedback not a sweet comment :') (oh bty I am a California resident)

[@nehajanardhan4377]

i kinda have the opposite situation that you, my gpa isn’t that great but i have a high sat score, do you think i still have a chance?

[@NAE-DAY]

I think you still do. Aside from all the scores concerning how good you are at taking tests I think extracurricular and your essays will really boost your application

[@nehajanardhan4377]

Hello, great video! I wanna just ask is there an architectural engineering major at USC? Thank You!

[@NAE-DAY]

I am not too sure. I think they have civil engineering but you might want to fact check that on the website

[@brynnebarriere4685]

Did you have to submit a letter of recommendation?

[@NAE-DAY]

Yes I needed 2

[@dabiyardie3954]

Wait so would u say that it’s not that competitive, sort of average competition?

[@NAE-DAY]

The competition isn’t so much with scores anymore since a lot of applicants have good scores. I think they look at your essays more now to really see your personality and ambitions and that’s where there’s the competition

[@icedtea4924]

Wait I am an international student too planning to apply to USC.. you got no aid at all? I thought since it was a private it would be need based

[@NAE-DAY]

International students get 0 need based aid. You can get mitt based scholarships but not financial aid

[@kaikai16122]

very helpful!!

[@ximenafernandez2817]

amo el video, btw yo también quiero estudiar arquitectura en usc

[@infinitytimes8116]

Does usc count freshman grades for the admission? if you know even if youre international.

[@NAE-DAY]

I am not sure how heavily they look at it but they do ask for your full high school transcript which includes freshman year

[@johndeluna774]

Last two years of high school are partitioned for GPA

[@malayahendricks]

Did you apply your senior year? if so, what semester?

[@NAE-DAY]

I believe the the application was due in November so I applied in the fall semester of my senior year

Affirmative action

[@kevinall-star3549]

I don't know how admissions work here but California banned Affirmative action

USC Maintains Affirmative Action policy, as a private school. Tip: USC is looking for Leadership in their students.
