Other Factors, hook?: I honestly don't know; I don't think I had any.</p>

<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC...?: I think my mid-year report and my ACT helped me a lot. It was the first time I got a 4.0 UW. It probably wasn't my extracurricular activities because I wasn't part of any cabinet. It's an extremely tough decision between USC and another school. Both have amazing pharmacy programs, but I'm still wondering which school is stronger.</p>

Other Factors, hook?: I definitely tried to hammer home my passion for business and I think that's what got me admitted. Also, I had a great interview with someone from the business school earlier this year, so I definitely recommend an interview.</p>

<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC...?: Since I ended up with spring admit I'm not sure if I'll attend. I'm definitely going to push for fall, but I have already been accepted to some colleges with great business schools (UIllinois, Indiana, Michigan). I really like the social atmosphere at USC and I want to work on the west coast so I think USC is the best fit for me. I'm happy that the waiting game is over and that I can finally be a Trojan.</p>
