[ *] Comments: Looking back at my stats it’s pretty obvious why I didn’t get in. To be honest I only started my app like a week and a half before it was due so I know next time around I’ll work much more and harder on everything.
As cheesy as this is gonna sound, my desire for USC really motivated me to do so much better not just to impress them but to like actually prepare myself to not just get in next time but really excel there. I know I started my app super late in the game but afterwards I couldn’t think of anything but SC. The school really drove me to get my act together. I changed my major, raised my gpa and instead of lounging at beach and drinking it up (it’s legal to drink if you’re 18 here hehe^^) all summer, which i would still prefer to do, instead i’m an unpaid full-time intern…ugh haha
