<p>Kid...don't rely on what you hear. Do your homework. Here are the programs the Marshall School offers. <a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2007/schools/business/undergraduate.html#int%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2007/schools/business/undergraduate.html#int&lt;/a> I believe you must apply directly to Marshall to be accepted. that might be a line of inquiry for you.</p>

<p>Here is the course catalogue. <a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2007/private/pdf/business.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2007/private/pdf/business.pdf&lt;/a> Pay special attention to your options in junior and senior year. Can you take grad level courses? Do you see a ton of course that make you drool? Pay special attention to the intl exchange program and the requirements. </p>

<p>Then do the same for UChicago and UMiami and PennState.</p>

<p>Well I see there's international business focus there, but international relations is in CAS. I'm going to inquiry into what the best line of action would be. I realized I need some questions to ask lol.</p>

We know it’s very hard to yield African-Americans. So schools can improve their yield by passing by the top 100 African-Americans in the applicant pool, where maybe you’d get about five or six to enroll, and admitting the third 100, where you’d get 75 percent. That’s what a lot of people do; they say they’re trying to “manage their enrollment.”

<p>You may want to address this hidden issue by deciding which school is your first choice reach and letting htem know that if the acceptance is possible and the aid offer is doable, you will attend.</p>

<p>Do you think I should communicate that in my essays? I will often have the chance at interviews at well I presume.</p>

<p>"Do you think I should communicate that in my essays?"
Only if the college has an "Why USC" type essay. But you could bring it up in an interview.</p>
