Comments: My second time applying as a transfer to USC! I got accepted for my second choice major. I am bummed that I am not in Animation (also within SCA,) but I have been thinking of switching to Critical Studies or an equivalent for a long time, and USC has probably the best program for this major in the nation (if not, the world!) I may not attend, however – financial aid is a HUGE factor, and my package was not generous enough. Making an appeal, as I qualify for some of their appealing reasons.</p>
