QUESTIONS:
- Were you surprised by the results?
Yes, I think I had a great chance because of my 4.0, but in high school I had a 3.3 so I was still nervous! - What do you think was your biggest strength/what got you in?
My college GPA and my honesty in my application (letters and the Thornton portfolio). I really showed an upward trend and how hardworking I became in the past year. - Did you have any help with the application?
A good amount of help was from my sister, a UCLA student, but no one else! - Are you going to attend? Why or why not?
Yes, I committed immediately! - Is USC your first choice?
YES!! Dream school hehe <3 - Did you submit/did the materials (transcripts, etc.) arrive on, before, or the deadline?
Submitted my application on the last day of November (Arts apps are due December 1st so it was very last minute), but then immediately sent in all materials the next day. I think I didn’t get an SGR because I had submitted unofficial Spring grades as soon as I could!
Fight On!!!
