Help with "Why USC"

The prompt is:

Describe how you plan to pursue your academic interests at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections.

My first choice major is bio. In my essay I wrote that I would specialize in molecular and computational biology. I basically only stated my intended major once in the essay and then wrote about the research and physician shadow programs I like. Since the prompt suggests talking about your major, is it okay if I don’t even talk about the specific classes I want to take and instead mainly talk about the programs offered?

That sounds good – talk about the programs USC offers and why those appeal to you. If you visited, mention that as well. Most kids at USC do at least a major and a minor, so if you have a second choice major or minor, speak about that as well! Good luck!
