What are the requirements to get into USC?

Answer 1

People say you need like around a 3.8 GPA at least a 1300 on your tests (ACT in 30's) and be very involved; lots of community service helps also. Family legacy used to count alot, but doesn't as much. However it still counts for something. Also, everyone thinks schools want to see a well-rounded student, which to some degree is true, but actually what is is more important is an "angular or pointed" student; meaning someone who shows genuine interest and passion for select activities. It doesn't mean as much if you're 101 activites just to fill up space on your application. The college only cares if you contributed to that club etc. otherwise it doesn't hold as much weight as you might expect. I toured USC and an admissions advisor spoke to my group saying even if you don't think there is a chance of you getting in, apply anyways, there are people who get in that have lower GPA's, grades aren't everything although they do help, obviously. If you don't get in you rfreshman year, it is definitely much easier to a junior college for 1 or 2 years get really good grades and then transfer, that way USC doesn't have to worry about the transfer GPA's affecting their average. It is much easier. Good Luck and Fight On Trojans!

Answer 2

a Very high class rank and GPA. High SAT/ACT. SAT 1270-1470. 31 average ACT. 87% admitted are in top 10th of high school grad class. Entrepreneurship specialty by US News ranks high. Early application by October 15, 2009. Sometimes they will not consider freshmen year in high school grades. The activity summary gives you chance to talk about extracurriculars. Interviews are optional in the fall.

Answer 4

I would recommend to get an unweighted GPA above a 3.6 a have a good share of accelerated classes like honors and AP's. The SAT score is also pretty important but not as important as grades.
