I am debating on applying to USC now, i know its very late in the application process, their deadline is feb 1st. I have 20AA and 3.4 science....is it worth a shot or is it a complete waste of money?
 
i would say, it's late and it's hard to hear from them at this point, but it's worth of a try if $ wasn't a huge problem.

i would anonymously call the school and ask? what THEY think

It is definitely not late to apply to USC.
Your stats are very competitive for a seat at USC.
They interview until march so get your apps in within the next couple of days.
 
thanks for the info donuteater, i appreciate it. I am a NY resident though, but i figure that does not matter that much considering its a private school.
 
I have a 3.6/3.5, with a 20 on DAT and didn't get an interview at USC, and I live here in Cali.

Just because you have higher stats than the OP does not mean he does not have a chance. Otherwise, average GPA would be 3.6+ and average AA would be 20+ for USC. But it's not. It's hard to really tell what schools look for when they have 4000+ applications. Also, the OP might have attended a more prestigious undergrad with less grade inflation than Cal State Channel Islands. I wouldn't say a 3.6/3.5 is a good gpa at Cal State Channel Islands. It's almost comparable to a 3.0 or even lower if you had attended UCLA or UC Berkeley.

does anyone know the stats on how many OOS they interview, and accept?

I don't know the stats, but USC is a private school so I don't think they give preference to residents. However, from what I remember from their presentation, I think at least half of last year's class ended up being from UCLA/USC -- but that doesn't tell you who was actually accepted.
