I feel like I may be reaching too high with this academy… I got an interview but it seems like everyone on here is much more impressive than me :frowning: I have good scores (35 ACT and 1520 SAT) but my portfolio is no where near everyone else’s… I mean I haven’t done any internships yet and I am not getting any calls from Jimmy. I may not come to interview weekend anymore… I don’t think I will get in anyway.

Sad :frowning:

I’m also an ISFJ… is that bad?

43

Passion and potential mean a lot too. Don’t get psyched out on here. CC is famous for freaking kids out. Won’t you wonder what if?

The people with scores nothing near yours are probably worrying just the same. Confidence is important - believe in yourself. No one can empower you with that - has to come from within!!

44

What will the attire be like? I know it says casual, but how casual is casual?

45

This is so exciting I’m so hyped!!! Can’t wait to meet everyone friday. All of you sound really impressive and driven

46

How’d the weekend go?

47

It went really well! There were so many interesting and talented people. The program is amazing and the campuses beautiful. Glad I went.

48

Has anyone gotten an admissions package for iya?

49

Yes! Happy to say that I have been accepted

50

Yes! I am an international student from Canada and I received my acceptance 2 days ago.

@marcdre22 did you get in? Your application seems really promising!

52

@2022yvr did you have to fly to USC for the interview?

53

You don’t have to fly to USC for the interview because they give you the option to interview over Skype. However, if you are invited for interview weekend I recommend going because the weekend provides lots of opportunities for you to interact with existing students, faculty and admin. It is really the best way for you to access whether the Academy is right for you.
