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 :)

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

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.

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

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.
