Hi, I’m currently a junior and USC is my top school. I was planning on applying to USC for computer science and screenwriting. I was wondering if anyone could give me any information about both of these programs and how competitive they are. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
post this question on the USC page.
Both VERY competitive, Screenwriting takes 24 people total. Screenwriting is also BFA, so even squeezing in a minor is difficult, let alone doing a dual degree. Unless you want to stick around for more than 4 years, it would be virtually impossible to do, but you could always major in CS and minor in Screenwriting! That is, if you’re accepted.
btw, just to be clear, that is 24 people from the whole world/planet earth. Not trying to be snarky, but I don’t think a lot of applicants think of it that way. Always have a backup plan and no “dream” school. Have a few top choices.
