Don't be discouraged...
I feel like my application sucks too. :\ I'm trying to drop my hopes down as low as possible so it wouldn't be sad when I don't get in...
I just mailed Part I today. I took a picture of me sending it in for good luck, but the people in line behind me probably thought I was a psycho. xDD
Right now I'm filling out Part II. I wrote the essay last night, but I'm not sure if it's good enough.
Also, do any of you know about what we're supposed to do about financial aid? I went to the USC undergrad financial aid website and it says that the deadline for those forms are in February...is it really? I hope I didn't screw up somewhere, because I definitely can't go if I don't get aid...
What first-choice major did you guys put down?

| all done !
ha. i wrote/ rewrote/ proofread/ sent my essay yesterday!
and everything else!
it's all sent!
i feel like it was me, even if it was not perfect. i'm happy with it, sort of.
and crayzii, we don't need the forms ! i checked with rhp 10 times.
they review our apps, and said if anything is repetitive, we don't have to send it.
especially to the USC admissions office because rhp ultimately decides whether we get in, not usc. =P
it's confusing, and it took like 10 minutes for the rhp rep to explain it to me on the phone lol.
rosinyangster, yep. the fin aid forms are due in feb. and they said if you get into rhp, they'll send a timeline for fin aid. but i'd do it sometime in dec/jan to be safe.
and i put down neuroscience.
it wasn't a hard decision for me because i've been self-studying neuroscience, participating in brain bee, took an intro course. i know i love it, so it wouldn't be something i would change. i want to minor in cinema/tv though. just cuz it's there. and i love production/editing at my local tv studio.
and i think second choice was biotech/bioengineering because that's realllllly cool : ]

1st choice: Business Administration
2nd choice: International Relations
Because I heard that the Business Admin major has a international relations focus, so...two birds with one stone? ;DD I want to double major in Psychology, but I'm not sure how to indicate that on the form so I just...didn't. Hah.
10% chance...10% chance...I have to keep repeating that to myself to keep away the fantasies.

haha I also put Business Administration for my first!
guys, don't you think the USC admission officers will wonder, "Why are these kids applying to USC with only 2 years worth of grades on their transcript?"
How is RHP, a separate program from USC supposed to know and tell them? =p

I think enough people have applied to RHP that the USC admission officers will know. (:
I'm guessing probably when they see an applicant like us with only 2 years worth of grades, they'll set it aside until the RHP department comes to pick them up.
Yay for Business Admin!
...Oh man, I'm getting ahead of myself again. Good luck to both of us!

Sleep early the night before. I mean, I don't get why people pull all-nighters before the SAT...what, you think your score is gonna go up by 50 points overnight? ^_^
Bring a packet of mints with you.
Yeah but, hopefully all of us will~

Hi you three applicants! I guess I'm kind of late to the thread, seeing as the app deadline has passed, but just wanted to say hi, I'm applying too! Hoping to major in film

Welcome to the family! Our family! Our wannabe-Trojan family!
Hahaha~
I've been feeling deliriously happy for the past month. No idea why. No shrooms involved.
Nice to meet you. Hoping I can really say that to you, face to face, someday. But I don't even want to think about it right now. I've told my mom to take the word "college" out of her mental dictionary until February.
