<p>I'm not entirely sure what I want to major in yet, but I'm leaning towards communications and would almost certainly want to be doing something within Annenberg eventually. Do I have a better chance if I apply straight into Annenberg?</p>
<p>Here's some info about me:</p>
<p>USC Legacy (mom)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8 unweighted, 4.13 weighted</p>
<p>SAT 1 M: 640
SAT 1 CR: 690
SAT 1 Wr:770
TOTAL: 2100</p>
<p>Will have taken 7 APs and 1 honors
4s on AP Enviro and AP Euro, 5 on AP US (AP Scholar award)</p>
<p>EC:
-Three years of journalism, working for a national award-winning school paper. Have been arts editor and am currently the Editor-in-Chief. I have won 2 honorable mentions, 2 third place awards, 2 second place awards, and a first place award in state and regional journalism contests
-cheerleader for 4 years, captain sophomore year, team won 2nd and 3rd in local competitions, I have personally won scholar athlete awards and Best Attitude awards
-president/founder of a philanthropic club on campus
-have worked as a nanny and as an editor for a local publication</p>
<p>Apply to Annenberg. You have almost the same profile as I did when I applied there, which puts you in a pretty good position to get a scholarship.</p>
<p>@Quixotism that’s great! Did you declare communications/journalism on the common app or do you have to indicate interest in annenberg some other way?</p>
<p>Yep. You just declare it on the Common App. Annenberg is one of the USC professional schools, so you’ll have to submit an additional essay explaining your interest in comm/journalism. I applied as a journalism major, for the record. The statement is not very difficult and shouldn’t take much time. I’m also in the Cinema school and trust me, that one is a bit of a nightmare.</p>
