Hey JesusDr


I am oos, but unless you are from like Wyoming or another state that doesn’t submit as many apps to USC, I don’t believe state of residence matters for admission
The biggest reasons I chose USC were the education quality, the location and the atmosphere on campus. USC has arguably the best journalism program on the west coast so that was a big factor for me. I also wanted a school that was close to a city for the ease of internships. Lastly, I wanted a school with a big sports program to ensure that there would be a lot of school spirit on campus. There are tons of other reasons that I chose USC, but I would say those are the top 3
I am white and from a state that is not as diverse as California as well. Ethnicity hasn’t really played a huge role in how I interact with everyone on campus. There is a lot of diversity on campus, and naturally, certain groups stick together to maintain their ethnic identity, but it is in no way exclusive. I have a good amount of white friends (mostly because of the greek system), but I have plenty of friends with different backgrounds as well.
I cant answer too much about financial aid just because I don’t know all of the details. Sorry!
