GPA and test scores are most important, but USD also evaluates students in terms of leadership, talent, and service. So make sure you have strong extracurricular involvement as well!
USD values diversity- it was once all white kids althoug they are doing their best to remedy the situation. ALso, they value DOING good (I think this is to weed out the kids who simply give giant donations). The school is catholic so volunteering and community servic are a MUST.
While good grades and SAT's are a nice bonus, do not be discouraged if you didn't perform as well as you would like in high school. They are truly looking for good people, not just those with book-smarts.
