<p>I really can't think of anything to write. I want to major in biomedical/business, but I can't really decide what to write. Could you help me? The prompt is:</p>
<p>Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>With an interesting combination (biomed&business) like that you should write about why those distinct fields interest you (perhaps a childhood interest, or an activity at school, or a job you had...), and how you would plan to integrate them. Look through USC's guidebook/prospectus/website and see what specifically attracts you to their school. You should mention a specific USC program or department or professor in your essay to emphasize your interest in this college, and not that you're applying there just to apply there.</p>
<p>ok thanks, but how should i address the second part of the question ("how you plan to pursue them at USC")?</p>
<p>I absolutely hate essays like this...its hard to make academic interest essays unique or stand out. For the second part I would say participate in research (if biomed and if USC is research oriented) or a specific program at USC to show you did your research. It would be good to mention something that USC has that other schools don't have to show that you really want to go there.</p>
<p>well its not what ive done so far its what i "plan" to do at USC... so should i say that I plan to do research, etc.?</p>
<p>BUMP please</p>
<p>any input on how i should "plan" to pursue my academic interests?</p>
