<p>Thanks for the replies thus far. I have already mentioned that I am not re-applying to USC (I wouldn’t go if they paid me), and I do not wish to contest or question their choice. It is their choice to make, and I wouldn’t even care if the reason was something like “because he is Hispanic” as an example, because I believe in their right to allow whomever they wish, for whatever reason (no matter how trivial) since they do not owe me or anyone else anything. I am inquiring for the purposes of applying to other schools and correcting, if possible, whatever was missing or lacking (ie, should I switch majors? Should I engage in more EC? Etc etc)</p>
<p>“What does starting a software development company have to do with medicine?”. As much as feeding the homeless has to do with medicine. It is relevant in that it displays a trait they might like (ie, the kinds of traits that are found amongst people that start companies, and people that feed the homeless.)</p>
