<p>i think the USC system could’ve used some revamping because their portal in general seems to be glitchy, plus there’s no need for them to have a portal since they don’t do online notification, and common app allows you to confirm that your materials were sent/received.</p>
<p>that being said, i think the fact that USC had distinct essays, their quick takes, and their own application made my app that much stronger for showing my fit specifically to USC rather than cookie cutter essays…</p>
