<p>USC says that part I of their application is optional, but does it really help you in any way?</p>
<p>I was curious about this too. Is part I just personal info?</p>
<p>yep it is
i entered it til the end, where it asked for credit card information
so i stopped, and thought i would ask before submitting it</p>
<p>its just information like estimated cumulative gpa, high school, act/sat scores, name, email etc.</p>
<p>no essays :P</p>
<p>filling out part I of the app saves you money on the actual application
maybe 15-20 bucks i forget</p>
<p>i forgot my password for the application =(</p>
<p>now i gotta register again with a different email address…</p>
<p>What xboredguy said. It basically just saves you money.</p>
