[rancid lion]

what are these interviews for

[past dirge]

to "hear your voice" or smt like that

one of the question was about a leader i look up to in my community (i had none lol)

[rancid lion]

was this on the application or is this just for anneberg

i applied for dornsife and dont remember anything abt interview or question about leader

[past dirge]

that was for world bachelor in business major

joint degree between usc, hkust, and bocconi

[rancid lion]

oh so interviews are just for business

so this wouldnt apply to me correct

?

[past dirge]

yea i guess so (?)

[rancid lion]

[rancid lion]

You too! Best of luck!

[onyx geyser]

is public policy p popular or nah

[brisk osprey]

not a lot of people know about it tbh so not really

[onyx geyser]

is this like campus wise or admissions wise?

[brisk osprey]

both

[onyx geyser]

its a sick program i thought more ppl would know!! i met w a usc AO and the opportunities there are amazing. thanks kiley!!!!!

[onyx geyser]

also does usc take extracurricular updates for senior yr??

[brisk osprey]

Hahah yeah price has some pretty cool opportunities to work with like govt officials and stuff

[brisk osprey]

like what? leadership update?? or just “hey i also joined this club”

[onyx geyser]

i joined a pretty big ec that is related to my major, public policy so yeah its a statewide leadership position.

[brisk osprey]

the official stance is to only update with “new and notable information”

[onyx geyser]

ohhh ok

[brisk osprey]

i would def email your ao!!!

esp since it has to do with your major and a leadership position

[onyx geyser]

thanks i will! my second choice major was sociology, and although i don't have anything related to that on my activities list, i love the subject so much and mainly talked about what i wanted to get out of the major and studying it in my essay. since i dont have any ec's related to sociology but i do work with people a lot?? so like would i actually be considered for a sociology major at dornsife if public policy doesn't work out?

[brisk osprey]

Hahah yes. Don’t stress so much!! You are automatically considered for your second choice major when you apply

[strange ruin]

hi so im debating applying to usc rd lol. im not sure what major to apply for tho. im interested in business/econ stuff and environmental science/policy stuff and kinda wanna go into project management typa stuff maybe idk any thoughts? bus admin seems hella competitive tho so idkk 😓😓

[lavish wave]

Just do it man

Do what u like/interested in

[strange ruin]

okay perf….

[calm wing]

guys i’m kinda having a moment where im regretting not applying for acting

does anyone know if i could transfer into that major?

ik a lot of schools BFA programs have strict capacity limits and don’t let transfers but://

i tried googling it but couldn’t find a direct answer

[golden sentinel]

is that phoebe bridgers

[forest skiff]

how easy/hard is it to double major at USC? like if i get in to dornsife/annenberg, can i later add a secondary major from Marshall/viterbi?

[ancient echo]

very easy

some schools require you finish courses to declare a major (viterbi has some math reqs and marshall has econ reqs) but adding a major etc is basically a click of a few buttons and a discussion with an advisor

[forest skiff]

ah ok nice

[sinful sphinx]

@brisk osprey the parents online say this is true is it https://admission.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/first-year-student-profile.pdf

The notifications dates

Or is someone spreading lies on college confidential again

[ancient echo]

this looks about right but some of the later dates like notifications dates are not final idt

[sinful sphinx]

Yeah I doubt 4/1 is right

But EA I’m curious

[forest skiff]

when did it come out last year?

[brisk osprey]

I havent even heard when the dates are yet so i highly doubt they are true lmfao

we always say RD will come out by april 1st

have no idea where the 23rd came from

[meager crescent]

1/27 iirc

[ancient echo]

no it was 1/20 i think

or 1/21

yeah it was 1/20

i opened it on 1/21 in dubai time

[meager crescent]

Oh ok

Were you even considering it at the time?

[forest skiff]

dmn

damn

[calm wing]

yes! but snoopy instead of phoebe🤭

[golden sentinel]

LMAOO

[shrewd bobcat]

that’s actually the best thing ever

[snow mortar]

Anyone know when EA will hear stuff?

[forest skiff]

they said mid-late january

[past dirge]

I think late jan?

[royal mural]

[past dirge]

[viral spire]

They said updates will come between mid Dec and mid Jan if you need to do interviews or auditions

[past dirge]

but USC defers almost everyone lol

[forest skiff]

really

why

if you get deferred it means you arent getting a scholarship right

[past dirge]

"Over 40,600 early action applications were received, resulting in an acceptance rate of 6 percent."

[light smelt]

it doesnt reject anyone

[meager crescent]

Except me 😈

I'm getting in full scholarship trust

[forest skiff]

[radiant nimbus]

When is the decision date for USC MArshall school for Early action applicants

[ancient echo]

all EA decisions will be released during late january

[meager crescent]

Mid-end Jan

Last year was 1/20

[forest skiff]

my birthdays in jan i swear if i get rejected on my 18th birthday-

[meager crescent]

Luckily I'm an April baby

[forest skiff]

what decisions come out in April

[meager crescent]

Nothing

Maybe some WL

[forest skiff]

ah

[viral spire]

Luckily I’m a July baby 😁

[meager crescent]

You youngin

[viral spire]

Yeah but at least I can enjoy my bday in peace

[meager crescent]

I cant

My birthday week signifies the beginning of IB exams

Ib exams are always may usually except this year we are starting in April for some reason

[viral spire]

Imagine that’s really sad

A lot of my friends are born early May so they have AP exams on their bdays

[forest skiff]

I'd take AP over USC rejection

[mighty patio]

last ap exam week was tough for me

i had bpa nationals so i was prepping presentations instead of studying and when i came back home from the airport i only had 7 hours to sleep before waking up and taking the ap gov exam first thing in the morning

then i had 2 other exams on the same week

then i had state assessment test on friday and lastly the sat on saturday

[viral spire]

Id take neither 😁

[unkempt sail]

same..

[rancid lion]

why did they send out a student dependcy form when i never put i lived alone or supported anyone? do they just send this out to everyone

does anyone know

[rancid lion]

does anyone have the email to the usc financial aid office

because i think they sent me the documentation of student dependent on accident

because i have no clue as to why i have it. i even checked my usc application and there isnt any kind of words or signs i left that i was supporting a dependent, like a child

[past dirge]

i founf their phone

[phone]

but can't find their email

[rancid lion]

ty. i just decided to email the admission counselor for my school for usc

this is so annoying ive made mistkes or there were issues in every college app ive submitted

[glad plinth]

does usc have ed

[rancid lion]

this is like getting to the point where im just getting nervous and pissed at myself. i dont know what is going on tbh.

[rancid lion]

no

ea or rd

[glad plinth]

what does ea do is there a higher acceptance rate

[meager crescent]

No

6%

94% get deferred

RD acceptance rate is 10%

[glad plinth]

is ea special in any way other than the fact that u submit it rlly early

[rancid lion]

early action; for usc at least u qualify for merit scholarships and other scholarships and no ea does not mean higher acceptance just get admission early if u do get in

[meager crescent]

Merit scholaeship

[rancid lion]

scholarships

[meager crescent]

If u get in ea ur prob getting at least a deans scholar

10k

[rancid lion]

yup

[glad plinth]

if i dont need scholarships is ea still worth it

[meager crescent]

I applied honestly just bc they're the only t20 with a national merit scholarship

[glad plinth]

or just apply regular for higher acceptance rate lol

[meager crescent]

Early*

[rancid lion]

its ur choice really. u want ur decisions early then go ahead. usc also only defers no reject

[glad plinth]

is that the psat thing

[glad plinth]

wait that's good then

[meager crescent]

Yes

[rancid lion]

yes

[meager crescent]

They give u half tuition off

For nmf

[glad plinth]

lmao i failed psat fml

[meager crescent]

U can't fail PSAT

[rancid lion]

so apparently i got a document of dependent form from usc and i had to fill it but issue is i think they mistakenly sent this to me. and i just sent an email to my admission counselor for usc. how much would it affect me if they thought i was caring for a dependent because i didnt and i sent them an email today because my dad and i finished the css profile last week

@brisk osprey do u know how much this would affect my application

or none at all cuz this is financial

i also dont want it jeopardize or ruin my finanical aid application cuz i really need it as well

[brisk osprey]

this

fin aid is completely separate from the admission process, I would give the fin aid office a call monday morning

[rancid lion]

so wouldnt affect my application correct?

[brisk osprey]

It will not affect your admission decision

[rancid lion]

unfortunately the times are like incovenient for me, like. during those times i have school and after school activities. i emailed my usc counselor based on school would that work also

[brisk osprey]

I would email the fin aid office

[rancid lion]

do they by chance have an email

[brisk osprey]

Ur counselor will just tell you the same thing lol

[rancid lion]

i couldnt find it

[rancid lion]

ah alright

if there is an email that would be great

[brisk osprey]

They dont have an email address, but you can send in this form

https://ask.usc.edu/app/ask

calling would be a lot easier tbh

[rancid lion]

alright. if i decided to call them at 4:30 is there a chance they would respond

like its at almost the end where they stop taking calls

[brisk osprey]

probably!! i know our office stops accepting calls at like 4:50 sooo

[rancid lion]

alright i need to get home fast then tmr. tysm!

[brisk osprey]

of course!!

[glad plinth]

[dry zinc]

[fickle robin]

fr USC SCA be so hard

[wooden heron]

why is film that hard?

does it give you a direct pipeline into hollywood?

[fickle robin]

prob bc it's the best film school in the nation

and you get crazy networking opportunites and connections

[wooden heron]

dang

do you need a portfolio?

[fickle robin]

yeahhh

im not SCA tho but i know it's amaizng

[waxen moon]

“Congratulations! It is with great pleasure that we extend an offer of admission to you for the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, Class of 2026. Your application truly stood out among the 23,000 impressive submissions we received, showcasing your exceptional talent, passion, and dedication to the cinematic arts.”

[wooden heron]

oh so you made blender models as a EC/hobby?

[somber jasper]

[waxen moon]

And part of class yes

[wooden heron]

btw i did the math, and your chance of getting into film is 0.95%

[fickle robin]

wow that is an amazing sight

[somber jasper]

have a couple more shirts a sweater some socks and some other assortments

[waxen moon]

My profs are hard as hell on me, mainly because my mother also went to this school

[somber jasper]

i loooove usc

[wooden heron]

you bought all that?

I thought for a sec that USC gives it to you when u get accepted

[somber jasper]

well my mom bought the blanket

[fickle robin]

usc loves you too

[somber jasper]

and i made the bag

[fickle robin]

DAMN BRO THATS SOME DEMONSTRATED INTEREST RIGHT THERE

[waxen moon]

My mother has a degree in visual effects from here

[wooden heron]

too bad they don't take it into consideration

[somber jasper]

i might be obsessed

[wooden heron]

are you near USC?

[somber jasper]

my mom did her masters in computer science there

[wooden heron]

like, live in socal

[somber jasper]

[fickle robin]

[thin veldt]

||i bought merch cuz it said trojans and i thought it was funny||

[wooden heron]

[waxen moon]

My mom not only has a masters in film but its also one with high honors

[somber jasper]

crazy

[somber jasper]

next big director right here

film is in his blood

[waxen moon]

Yep

Day 1 of classes: “Congratulations, you just made getting into harvard look easy.”

[wooden heron]

ngl my math class last year made getting into ivy leagues look easy

1 got into yale, 1 into harvard, like 5 into cornell, 2 into darmouth and 3 into upenn

[waxen moon]

Postgraduate acceptance is 11-17%. Undergraduate is 0.7 to 0.95%

[wooden heron]

oh it gets better

intresting

[waxen moon]

My mom also got her masters without taking film classes prior

Her undergraduate was pol sci

[rancid lion]

Let me in usc for cognitive sci

Kinda worried tho cuz none of my ECs have much relation to it

[rancid lion]

Bro has merch already no way

[somber jasper]

had merch since iwas like 6

my mom was pregnant with me while she was graduating usc

[rancid lion]

Damn legacy too

[wooden heron]

what's that?

[wooden heron]

what can you do with a degree in that?

[rancid lion]

It merges three interests of mine, linguistic,cs, neurol networking

[waxen moon]

USC dorms are being upgraded in the coming years

So there might be a problem getting student housing

[somber jasper]

off campus housing ig...

[waxen moon]

Make you sure have $60k per year for that

[somber jasper]

yeah i heard its bad out there

[rancid lion]

I need financial aid.

[wooden heron]

that's valid

[waxen moon]

The Olympic Games are why the dorms are being updated

[rancid lion]

Also might go for masters if I really can’t get a job out, but I don’t mind

[rancid lion]

Omg imma hate the summer when it’s Olympic Games

[somber jasper]

nah olympic games fr gonna force LA to clean up

[rancid lion]

Im more scared of issues that are gunna occur with it considering im somewhat close to la

[somber jasper]

yeah

im kinda worried about whats gonna happen asw

im sure itll be fine

[waxen moon]

USC: 3 Olympic Games on campus
Harvard: 0 olympic games on campus
Therefore USC > Harvard

[somber jasper]

fax

usc also has the most olympians out of any college

and the third most ncaa titles

[waxen moon]

Yep

[proud gulch]

guys

a2c website says usc decision comes tomorrow

[lofty falcon]

that’s south carolina 💀

[proud gulch]

bro

damn

[waxen moon]

What major

[brisk mist]

[somber jasper]

j gotta finish pre req courses

[radiant nimbus]

When would the EA decisions be out?

[lavish wave]

gl EA

[worn locust]

january i think

[young pecan]

How fucked is aid for itnl here?

[waxen moon]

Fucked

[young pecan]

That’s pretty sad….

[forest skiff]

damn really

[young pecan]

Ig I’ll have to apply private in RD w/o aid now. I don’t see any other way out 🥰

[hushed stirrup]

Usc aid is even fucked for domestic students lol

[waxen moon]

And god have mercy if you choose film

Cause you aint gettin in

[young pecan]

What must god have in case it’s Marshall?

[brisk mist]

do u think its harder to get in viterbi

feeling like i shot myself in the foot by applying viterbi

idk cuz i went to an info sesh and the dude said it was hard to transfer into viterbi so just apply viterbi if u know u wanna do engineering

[waxen moon]

Did you apply for film?

If so your fucked mate

[ancient echo]

no it’s equally difficult

[young pecan]

I did Marshall

[ancient echo]

u can transfer easily tbh

[ancient echo]

if u get in u get airtags

[waxen moon]

A year

[young pecan]

I can feel that regardless

[ancient echo]

ur in a cohort

ew

yall commit cohortcest fr

[waxen moon]

Na your odds are much better

[ancient echo]

the screenwriting cohortcest goes crazy tbh

[long mauve]

that’s insanely limited

[ancient echo]

the stuff i’ve heard is wild

[young pecan]

That’s wild

[waxen moon]

Its the best in the world

And you get a shitton of connections in school

Hense why everyone who wants to do film tries to get in

My mother went here and graduated with high honors (magna cum laude)

[ancient echo]

bro had that legacy

rah

[young pecan]

I mean respect for getting in against those odds

[waxen moon]

Masters in Film with a speciality in visual effects with high honors from the best film school in the world

[meager crescent]

Applied to marshall

[waxen moon]

Good luck

You have thirty times the odds

[ancient echo]

what

[young pecan]

How high are your hopes?

[ancient echo]

why is this acceptance letter so different from the normal one

[waxen moon]

I lost my email so I just made one with chatgpt lol

[ancient echo]

is SCA the only school to accept by major what

[ancient echo]

bro 💀

[waxen moon]

But thats basically what it said

Congrats you got into a school that makes getting into harvard look easy

Thats the jist of it

[ancient echo]

💀💀💀💀

@brisk osprey is this legit

[waxen moon]

The school is small

[ancient echo]

dude sca does not get 23k applications a year

stop making stuff up

usc gets around 80k apps overall of which is it impossible that 25k are for sca

i don’t know who you are and why you’re making chat gpt write acceptance letters

but stop making things up

[waxen moon]

Thats what i was told by someone here so they may be pulling my leg but I know the admissions rate is 1 to 3% and theres only about 200 seats as theres only 800 undergraduates

[ancient echo]

800 undergraduates for what

SCA overall?? that’s not exactly true

my class has 3500 students in it lol

[brisk osprey]

SCA is small and has a good amount of apps

[ancient echo]

those statistics are old; usc’s overall rate has dropped significantly since then

while SCA may have a lower rate than the overall admit rate i doubt they recieve that many applications

[waxen moon]

Its small

[ancient echo]

yeah thats how a lot of the fine arts schools work at usc

i know it’s a small school i just doubt they received that many apps

[lofty falcon]

do any of yall know the wbb acceptance rate

[ancient echo]

wbb is competitive as shit tbh

[waxen moon]

@brisk osprey someone told me 25,000 applied for film.. would you think thats true?

People have told me its like 1% acceptance

[lofty falcon]

[waxen moon]

And that im extremely fortunate to be here

[ancient echo]

SCA gets a fair number of applications but it is unlikely to be 25k m

[meager crescent]

I think I have a pretty good shot

[young pecan]

I am sorry but what the fuck is wbb?

[meager crescent]

Word bachelor's in business

[young pecan]

Stats?

[ancient echo]

most applications go to dornsife marshall and viterbi

[lofty falcon]

womens basketball

[waxen moon]

Its probably 10k

Or smth

[ancient echo]

SCA is a smaller school in terms of numbers overall

[ancient echo]

yes could be that is more realistic

[meager crescent]

1.3 gpa 1210 sat 69 APs

[young pecan]

Oh aight 😅

[ancient echo]

SCA SDA architecture and other such schools are smaller proportion of student pool and applicant pool

[young pecan]

Ahh same here

Crazy how they are completely identical

[meager crescent]

I'll dm if u rlly care

[ancient echo]

j think in general around 5-10% of the applicant pool applies to sca

[young pecan]

Sure!!!

[waxen moon]

“The USC School of Cinematic Arts received 12,000 applications this year, and they accepted 250 students divided into the different majors the school offers. Production and Writing for Screen and Television are the most competitive majors for undergraduates.”

[ancient echo]

international program; 1 year at usc, 1 year in hong kong 1 year in italy and then last year wherever

business program

[waxen moon]

Thats 2.08%

[young pecan]

Yeah I got that, thanks!!

[lofty falcon]

also do wbb acceptances come out in january does anyone know

like if i get defered usc am i rejected wbb

[ancient echo]

if you really wanna read up about it most people say it was closer to around 4-5k but regardless it’s quite competitive

[waxen moon]

Most people go for the graduate program

[brisk mist]

does usc early action look at 1st semester transcript grades

for senior year

[forest skiff]

i applied to annenberg is it less competitive than dornsife marshall viterbi

[ancient echo]

yes whatever is submitted!!

when you submit your mid year that is also reviewed

[brisk mist]

Ah idk if my counselor is gonna send my transcript from this semester because it probs wont be out unti lmid january

[brisk mist]

Okayy

[somber jasper]

viterb transfer isnt that bad i heard you just have to do the prereq courses

[brisk mist]

oh rip

im so upset i shouldve put something in dornsife as my second choice major

it's too late to change it now though

Do u guys think id be able to ask if i can switch my second choice major to biology at dornsife if i send an email to admissions?

Because if i dont get into viterbi i want to be considered for dornsife. I listed my first and second choice majors as majors both in viterbi

[rancid lion]

I wish they had percentages for majors for usc

Considering Ik for dornsife doesn’t do by college

[west gull]

Got rejected from ED school so hopefully ill get some good news about USC soon lol

[waxen moon]

Major?

[west gull]

Journalism

[waxen moon]

[manic radish]

.-. my next best early

!usc

aww

[rancid lion]

Everyone I asked abt usc says they know no one that does cognitive science. Do u by chance know anyone? And know how competitive it is?

[waxen moon]

No.

[somber jasper]

i might know someone ill check with friends there

[rancid lion]

Ya I would like to ask questions abt it, but also like to know the competitiveness cuz I really want to get into usc so I can do cognitive sci and minor in film

[somber jasper]

ill ask around

[radiant nimbus]

Me 2

[rancid lion]

Ty dm me if u have any info on it

[meager crescent]

Me 3

[viral spire]

One of the girls at my school’s grandpa went to usc and he legit called their admissions office (one of his friends) and told them to keep an eye out for her app 💀 nepo baby fr

[young pecan]

Nah bro, the fuckin nepotism in colleges is CRAZYYYYYY

[viral spire]

No Fr I was like wtf

[somber jasper]

crazzyyyy

lowk her to tell her grandpa to tell their admission office friend to look out for mine too

[viral spire]

LOL I got you

[somber jasper]

[light smelt]

interactive design & game design

[radiant nimbus]

NO way !!!!! Why my parents didn't went to wharton

[rancid lion]

Did u do ea

[rancid lion]

I hope we both get in

[ancient echo]

@brisk osprey we’re not beating the allegations anytime soon

[viral spire]

Never forget college admissions scandal

[radiant nimbus]

Btw... USC has the most star kids for a reason

[rancid lion]

What happened

[snow mortar]

a lot lol

USC has a history of having bribes and nepotism exposed in its AOs

Like the jordanian prince one i believe

[viral spire]

The Qatar one?

[snow mortar]

was it Qatar?

[viral spire]

I think so

[snow mortar]

i should probably remember that if im applying as an international relations major lol

[forest skiff]

Jordan Prince goes to gtown

[snow mortar]

i need to not hear gtown for at least a week rn

[forest skiff]

oh yes sorry😭

[snow mortar]

it's fine, we are both in the same hole

[forest skiff]

i didn't really care much about gtown lol + they don't have my major so i suppose you're affected more cuz gtown is goated for ir

[dusk crescent]

For my 3 words I put "forging my path" is that too cringe? 😭😭

[viral spire]

You have more space than 3 words

Like you can add extra words

[dusk crescent]

Thank youuuuuuu

[viral spire]

I feel like if it matches with everything else you say then it could be cool!

[viral spire]

Ofc!

[somber jasper]

not usc’s fault everyone wants to go there so bad they have to resort to bribes

ivy leagues do it to they just do a better job of covering it

maybe it’s just copious

*copium

[viral spire]

💀 I was telling someone I was applying to usc and they said I was way too nice to go there

[somber jasper]

idk i mean the scandal was kinda messed up

[somber jasper]

😭😭

usc has so many nice people they don’t know what they’re talking about

[viral spire]

Yeah it was

[somber jasper]

usc is for the people with a tinge of silly in them

a goofy spirit

[viral spire]

Yeah 😭 I’m hoping I get in w merit

[somber jasper]

you got this

[viral spire]

Ty ty

[somber jasper]

people at usc either have deep pockets or are the most chill people ever

[viral spire]

I wish their ea came out earlier

[somber jasper]

yeah

[viral spire]

Real

[somber jasper]

i’m sooo nervous

[viral spire]

My school has a decent history w usc

So hopefully it goes well

[somber jasper]

yeah same

[viral spire]

You got this bro you’re the number 1 fan

[somber jasper]

they gotta recognize my meatriding

[calm wing]

usc i need u so bad pleaseeee

tommy pls……

[rancid lion]

lol I only EAed to one school and that’s usc

So let me in

[rancid lion]

Did they stop

Like idk

[snow mortar]

Eh who knows, they coulda just got better at hiding it

I will say that if you actually look into it, it isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

People like to equate the corruption to just "rich kid school", but USC is high on the rankings for a good reason. It is a really strong school and gives good financial aid even to low-income students.

[brisk osprey]

hey besties here to tell yall that the whole college admission bribery thing is not real lol you cannot pay your way into usc no matter who you are

[viral spire]

College admissions scandal though? 🤨

Was that a lie

[brisk osprey]

olivia jade + others got in off of athletic recruiting (albiet falsely) but that is completely separate from the actual admission process

so yeah the whole “college admission scandal” was a thing, but it should be more accurately titled “college athletics recruitment scandal”

[somber jasper]

varsity blues

[brisk osprey]

yeahhh

😔

[rancid lion]

what is teh grade requirement or gpa requriement for usc so that u dont get rescinded

for senior year

[somber jasper]

it depends but try to avoid cs, ds and f might get you rescinded

[rancid lion]

def not. my grades are all borderline A and ap lit this final last year had a very low average score, like D, so that might bring my grade to a B and ap calc im borderlin so scared im might get another B, just was curious as to how many Bs or gpa that is needed

[somber jasper]

they dont rescind for bs

maybe if you get all bs

but ive never heard of anybody getting rescinded for bs

even from like ivys, stanford, mit

[rancid lion]

thats what i worry lol. i might get like one A and all Bs

[somber jasper]

youll be fine dude

[rancid lion]

any chance u know anyone doing cognitive sci currently enrolled at usc

[somber jasper]

i dont think i do

lemme look through linkedin

[meager crescent]

If u fail a class u might be in danger

Otherwise u should be fine

[rancid lion]

grades are all As right now, but so borderline, like they are at exactly 90

[meager crescent]

Gotchu

Bro I have 0 hopes for usc ea

[rancid lion]

Lies

[viral spire]

He is cracked not as cracked as your friend but cracked

[meager crescent]

Yes they do

[viral spire]

His essays were actual trash

Like holy cow

[meager crescent]

Essays are subjective

[viral spire]

It was like an npc attempting to have a personality

[meager crescent]

Relax

[viral spire]

You’d agree if you read them

[meager crescent]

Maybe but that’s not the point

It’s misleading

[rancid lion]

damn. why do they essays are important this sucks ngl

[viral spire]

No bc he prob got in for stats

Not essays

[rancid lion]

also wish common app gave more room to write ec desc or at least get to write desc on the award and how i got it

[viral spire]

You can have a low essay score and still get in

[viral spire]

They can def help if you’re not Stanford level cracked yk

Like I wasn’t

And I think my essays were mid

[rancid lion]

i am most def not, so gotta sweat. really hope i can get into usc. it would solve one of my problems, where my mom keeps asking me about college

[lofty falcon]

But just usc sounds so fun too, i saw this tiktok about how hkust is rly hard and depressing compared to first year at usc 💀

[viral spire]

Why

[meager crescent]

Im allowed to and its my dream on paper but i know realistically i cant study abroad for 2 full years minimum

[meager crescent]
