I want to try USC with Computer Science as a major if possible. Please chance me for USC

What should I apply for Second option, in case Major is missed out? Can I apply for econ/math as a alternate?

is USC your main choice?

OP, yes you can apply to econ/math as second choice, but you must choose engineering/CS as a first choice. Viterbi/Engineering does not consider those that choose an engineering major as a second choice. Chance me for Viterbi is too tough because of the holistic nature of USC and the fact that kids with high test scores, great ECs and 4.5 gpa’s aren’t admitted, but someone with lower grades/GPA may be because they have something abput their overall package. A lot of times it’s a supply/demand issue. Good luck!
