[/ul]QUESTIONS:
1. Were you surprised by the results?
YES!! After waiting so long I lost hope and I got rejected from a lot of other schools so I set my expectations low.
2. What do you think was your biggest strength/what got you in?
I think my portfolio probably got me in since I am an art major.
3. Did you have any help with the application?
Not a whole lot, just some feedback from some friends and family.
4. Are you going to attend? Why or why not?
I am still deciding. Financial Aid would influence my decision a lot since the price is my drawback for attending.
5. Is USC your first choice?
Yes! USC is my dream school!
6. Did you submit/did the materials (transcripts, etc.) arrive on, before, or passed the deadline?
My high school transcript arrived before the deadline but my junior college transcript arrived a few days after the deadline.
