USC application fall 2018

Hey guys!

As we all know USC had the short response questions which are very tricky. Here is what I was thinking (Brainstorming) but don’t know yet

Help with some ideas or examples the ones who already get in

We can use this forum to discuss anything related to USC!!! :slight_smile:

MINE:

Hey, I’ve already graduated from USC, so my short response thing was a bit different than yours - there was no hash tag portion as far as I remember. I’d love to help with suggestions based on my responses - as much as I can remember anyway.

Describe yourself in three words: Eccentric, Meticulous, Sympathetic (I didn’t like what I put here either)

What is your favorite snack? Tamales - there are limitless options (pork, candy, pineapple)

Favorite app/website: CNET [I don’t think this was on my app]

Best movie of all time: WALL-E

Hashtag to describe yourself: #Zen [this definitely wasn’t on mine]

Dream job: Language Engineer at Google

What is your theme song? The Flower Duet

Dream trip: Mexico City

What TV show will you binge watch next? Ugly Betty [not on my application either]

Place you are most content? Library

Hope I helped you brainstorm a little :slight_smile:

They really aren’t tricky. They are trying to get to know you. Please don’t answer with what you think they want to hear - boring!

For example - favorite job - ice cream taste tester or dog whisperer says a lot more about a person, or at least something new, than wanting to work for a big 4 accounting firm. If you are trying to get into Marshall/Leventhal Accounting and have written good essays, they already know this. If all you ever wanted to be was a brain surgeon then list it, or if being a banjo playing brain surgeon describes you better, list that. Show your personality here. Doesn’t have to be silly but should let them into who you are.
