I’ll be applying to transfer to USC for the fall of 2020, does anyone know what the essay question for transfers will be?
Nobody can say for sure until the application is released. But two themes are constant: Describe a major life challenge that you overcame and Describe somebody or something that transformed how you think or behave. It is all theme and variation, and you will get a choice on which one to write about. Remember, write a story like you are telling it uninterrupted to somebody who doesn’t know you but you want them to.
I applied as a transfer to USC this year and two important essay prompts were to describe how you plan to pursue your academic interests at USC and what are your reasons for transferring. It might be beneficial to look online for guides on how to write the essays. That’s what I did for my transfer application.
