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!!!

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
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.
