<p>I’m applying to USC’s high school summer program for medicine, and they ask for my transcript as well as an essay. How much effort should I put into the application? In other words, do they actually care who they admit or is it first-come-first-served?</p>
<p>it really depends on the program-and the cost.
like some local programs at your state school may be difficult to get into-because they are free and there are only so many spots-while some paid programs at private schools (stanford’s epgy) might be easy to get into.</p>
