<p>How many questions are there in part 2 of the application....are these essays somehow relatable to the common app essays or are they completely different?</p>
<p>[Freshman</a> Standards - USC Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/fresh_essay.html]Freshman ”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/fresh_essay.html )</p>
<p>these are the essay prompts this year, you only have to pick one</p>
<p>good luck!!</p>
<p>By “questions” I am guessing you mean essay prompts? Here are USCs essay prompts:
Please write an essay, approximately 500-700 words (typically one page) in length on one of following topics:</p>
<p>USCs speaker series “What Matters to Me and Why” asks faculty and staff to reflect on their values, beliefs, and motivations. Presenters talk about choices they have made, difficulties encountered, and commitments solidified. Write an essay about an event or experience that helped you learn what is important to you and why it is important.</p>
<p>Visions and Voices is a university-wide arts and humanities initiative that seeks to transform students perspectives through presentations and performances by top artists, writers, and scholars. Tell us about a creative project, performance or other work of yours and how it reflects your vision or voice.</p>
<p>Thomas Edison failed many times before successfully inventing the modern electric light bulb. He said, “If I find 10,000 ways something wont work, I havent failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.” Reflect on a challenge you overcame through persistence.

<p>Doesn’t the Common App include an option “Topic of your choice?” It seems anything would be relatable to “topic of your choice.”</p>
<p>Good lock!</p>
