<p>How important is it if both your parents are alumni to the USC adcom?</p>
<p>More importantly, USC Marshall?</p>
<p>My Marshall legacy D (just on one side) did not get into USC 2 years ago. I called and talked to admissions and asked the legacy question. This is what I was told-</p>
<p>USC does not consider legacy status in admissions. They do, however, give an accomodation for legacies who are not accepted. They are given the opportunity to come in and talk one on one with an advisor on exactly what they would need to do to transfer.</p>
<p>There could possibly be exceptions and perhaps changes from year to year in this policy.</p>
<p>How did your interview go?</p>
<p>Thanks cc.</p>
<p>I ask because both my parents were alumni of USC, but I guess that doesn't really make a difference to the admissions anymore!</p>
<p>The interview actually went very well. Like everyone on CC said: they were very laid back and casual. It was an informal discussion/interview. The Marshall undergrad admissions representative asked me many questions about what I liked to do on weekends, what I did in school, my views on the global economy, etc...
It went well and I hope it helped in some ways :).</p>
<p>I was actually told by a USC representative last year that they do consider it. And I would assume that double legacy counts for more than single legacy.</p>
