<p>I've been working on amateur projects for almost all 4 years of high school (i made sure to put that on my portfolio) so my portfolio seems pretty full and detailed..... but I'm nervewracking myself over my admissions, particularly USC. i've been calling them almost everyday now, making sure they have everything they need, and sending emails, and all that. I called them when USC won the Orange Bowl to congratulate them and got sucked into a hardcore football conversation (even though i know next to nothing about football)...... so what are my chances????</p>
<p>thanks in advance to you all!!!</p>
