<p>hello!
ok, so my school is asking a few of the student council seniors to talk to junior classes about our experiences with applying to colleges and i took on talking about my experience with USC, but thought it'd be more informative if i got some feedback from the lovely people on this board.</p>

<p>so.. just write up ANY suggestions/tips/'i wish i knew...'/"i wish i did..."/etc you have in general and i'll make sure to include them!</p>

<p>also, i forgot how much i paid for the application fee, can someone refresh my memory please?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>i wish i did part 1 and got the $15 discount on the app fee</p>

<p>and i wish i did all my financial stuff online</p>

<p>and i wish i did EA to more schools
and now i REALLY wish i just EDed to a school…</p>

<p>but alas, the economy…</p>

<p>I wish I had prepared a more impressive resume. I have letters of rec, tons of ECs, 1000+ hours of community service, graduating HS a year early, 6 AP classes, a ton of community college classes, but my GPA is lacking, and while my SAT is Ok, just over 2000, I know it couldve been better. I wanted to go since 8th grade, but never expected to even apply. Now I kinda feel like im borderline between yay and nay</p>

<p>Collegeboard says the app fee is 65$</p>

<p>Make sure you tell them about CC! The Stickie at the top of the USC threads, “FAQ for USC Admissions” started by Nikara, has lots of useful information.</p>

<p>USC’s admissions office is, by far, one of the most helpful ones out there.</p>

<p>It’s really easy to email them with a question, and they’ll respond within 3 days.</p>
