[ *] Essays (subject and responses): I wrote about how going to a fairly rural state made me desire a more connected family /atmosphere. It forced me to see outside my hometown bubble and look beyond the superficial aspects of life. I want that connected family and I thought the Trojan family greatly fulfills that desire. I also added how my current institution didn’t really have that school spirit USC had.
[ *] Letters of Recommendation: none
[ /list][ b]Other:[ /b][ list]
[ *] Other schools applied to:none
[ *] Comments: Wow. This is so surreal filling this out. I seriously thought I would not get in. But I think I really showed them my desire to go to the school. Don’t give up. As I’m sure everyone can see my gpa is pretty darn low. However, by emailing USC and trying to explain the situation/ show my passion to go there I think I increased my chances. But it’s too difficult to say. My best advice is no matter what obstacles get in your way, fight them and perseverance is key! If you truly want to go to a school, you’ll be willing to put in the effort and deal with the pains that come with it. Best of luck to all of you!
