So I'm appealing to the University of Southern California and I was wondering what are some things that I could add to it so it could stand out.

I also wanted to know if having my uncle who's a professor at USC call them would help me at all.

Thanks for the help :)

um you can not narrow it down to gpa and standardized test scores. its an accumulation of other things such as extracurriculars, and volunteering. i dont think you could get in through an appeal with those stats. sorry.

what is your GPA and your sat scores.  because if they are not that good your noting going to get into USC.  If you really want to go there go to a different school for a semester or a year get a really good GPA and then transfer.  It takes a little longer but you will have a better shot than appealing.
 

  I have about a 3.3 GPA and a 1700 SAT score =/


 
 I had a 3.7 and good ACT scores and I could not get into that school

Fuck. But I know people who have a lower SAT score and the same GPA as me get in. It's fucking stupid.



don't give up

do you mean applying? both my sisters went there...

No, appeals.
I was rejected but I want to appeal so they might consider me again.
