<p>This is how it works:</p>
<p>Assuming, as in your case, the two majors are from two different schools, they send your app to your first choice major (viterbi?). If they accept you, they send it to the “general” admission of usc for approval (it is pretty much always approved if the individual school wants you). If they reject you, they send it to your second choice school (cinema) to repeat the process. If you get accepted, you will get a package saying congratulations, you were admitted to this major: Production. </p>
<p>At this point, you would know that you got rejected from engineering. If you got accepted to viterbi, though, your app wouldn’t have even gone to cinema, so you wouldn’t know if you got accepted there.</p>
<p>Pretty long, but i just wanted to make it clear haha :)</p>
