Transfer- Question about admission

Ok, for starters, I am a new poster here (as you can tell) so go easy on me if this has been asked multiple times already. :)

I am currently looking to transfer to USC, ideally enrolling at the start of my junior year, but as of right now I have a few questions about the admissions process.

My questions are: If my first major of choice is the Writing for Film & Television major and I get rejected, will I still be able to gain admission to-- let’s say-- the College of Arts & Sciences? Possibly as an English major (my second choice)? Or, does USC automatically put you into the CAS if you’re admitted and then decide on the other school of your choice (in my case, the SCA)?

I’m asking this because I know the SCA programs are EXTREMELY competitive and I don’t want my entire application to be riding on my admission to that one specific school. I would still like to attend USC regardless. I am currently an English major right now, so I would have no problem continuing on with it; the Writing program is merely a dream major that I’ve wanted to pursue for years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
