As a well-rounded and curious man that I am, I also asked this question to a Univ. of Indiana, Univ. of Connecticut, and R.I.T. admissions directors: Is there a set GPA needed to get into certain schools?
No...
Schools today do not look for your grades as much as they do for everything else. They need to know that you will be able to handle a social life as well as an academic life. This ensures that even if you only have a 2.5 GPA, you will be able to do much for your community as well...
So, play sports, join clubs, be active in your community (I know, volunteer work does not sound fun in the summer, but "it builds character" my dad used to say), and be outgoing. Trust me, when you go out of your way to do things or to raise money for others, everybody notices, even colleges.

If it's USC--Southern Cali...I think their average GPA is 3.5, but a 3.0 is a solid B, so chances are that it would not hinder your chances at getting in. I just recently went through a partial application process to transfer there, but decided to stay in the school that I'm at currently.

If you are talking about USC in South Carolina, too late for this fall, they are booked up.
3.0 is not a bad gpa. It is pretty competitive for that school. Best bet is to contact them or go to their website.

If you can't get into USC with a 3.0, join the football team.

Well i would say atleast a 3.2. Try raising your gpa. 3.0 is a really bad gpa.

University of Southern California, or University of South Carolina?
You need to call the school directly and ask someone in their Admissions office.
