<p>That's what I'm talkin' about- your "package" looks great. Write some great essays about your experiences and get that 2100 and you should be fine. </p>
<p>What will your major be, i.e. you are applying to which school? That makes a big difference at USC.</p>
<p>Most colleges will tell you that your major doesn't matter, and I think its true for USC as well. They look for You in your application, not what you want to major in. I know for a fact that in UCLA, the most popular major is actually undecided. Although, it may help you knowing what you want to major in. Your resume looks great for USC, just keep up your grades and extra-curriculars, and don't fall into senioritis like I did! Character always matters =)</p>
<p>For USC admission, your major DOES make a difference. Some schools at USC are more selective than others (for example, Cinema/film, Marshall-business, Viterbi-engineering.) The different schools also look at different qualities in the students applying.</p>
<p>ehh, I've spoken with SC admissions officers. I believe they review applications by city location, not by major/school.. and they're not affiliated with any particular school in USC. Do you have anything to back up your statements? I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Maybe we should get ProudTrojan into this thread.</p>
<p>your major doesn't have an impact on your overall acceptance. If you are not good enough for that school or something, you just won't make it into that school. You can still get into USC in general, you'll either be in your 2nd choice major/undeclared/arts and letters.</p>
<p>I agree with you, uyulove. You are first admitted into the USC in general. But then your application is evaluated by the individual school- i.e. film, business, communications, engineering, etc. If you have been accepted by admissions but rejected by the individual schools (of your major choices), you can still be offered acceptance into the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences as undeclared. So it can be "easier" to be accepted as undeclared.</p>
<p>Just to clarify what everyone has said so far, if you are not admitted to your first choice major, you are automatically considered for your second choice major. If you aren't admitted to your second choice major, you are automatically considered for undeclared. Therefore it is in your interest to list the more difficult school (if that's where you want to go!) as your first choice major.</p>
