<p>The Common App is now open and everything is sinking in... Aspiring trojans, may the odds be ever in your favor. </p>
<p>Here are instructions and a template you can use to help future generations of USC applicants!:</p>
<p>-Copy/paste all the text below from === to === into a new post (Do NOT include the ===)
-Delete the line that does not apply, i.e. Accepted or Rejected.
-Add your specifics on the X's.
-PREVIEW POST to see how it looks before you submit. Instead of clicking "Post Reply," choose "Go Advanced" so you can make adjustments before you post (believe me - I had to preview this several times before I got it right!!!)</p>
<p>Thanks guys! </p>
