Supplement Essays?

<p>I'm wondering what is the difference between these 2 supplemental essays?</p>

<p>Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections.</p>

<p>and this one for Viterbi:
1) How do you plan to use your engineering degree to benefit society?</p>

<p>Wouldn't your academic interests relate to what you will do with a degree in engineering?</p>

<p>Not necessarily, I see it more like What do you plan to do at USC as an undergrad? and then What do you plan to do with your degree from USC when you graduate?</p>
