<p>It is very difficult and risky to second guess all the intricacies of admissions and try to play games with majors in order to make it easier to gain admittance. </p>
<p>The two choices you present give you no discernible advantage either way. What gives you the advantage is submitting an application that shows a strong academic record and the passions you have pursued that all tie into your preferred studies at USC. </p>
<p>From the USC Marshall Admissions website:
You will be considered individually on the merits of your academic record and potential for success in YOUR *field of interest.<a href=“emphasis%20mine”>/i</a></p>
<p>Pick the majors that you want in the order of YOUR preference. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
