Hi guys!
So I’m applying to USC for CS.
I don’t have a very good SAT score (1270/1600), ebut I have incredible ECs (I think) that show my inclination towards CS.
Would it be a good idea to apply to Dornslife rather than Viterbi?
Or can I apply to Viterbi and still be admitted to the college, Dornslife, or Undeclared perhaps?
If you’re using the Common App, USC asks for a first choice major and second choice major. You could always list CS at Viterbi as your first choice, and choose a different major at Dornsife as your second choice!
And when I visited campus, they did say that you might be admitted undeclared if you don’t make it in for either of your chosen majors (not sure how often that happens, probably isn’t too common), so don’t sweat about it.
Hope this helps?
@divijsatija Be aware that Viterbi does not evaluate applicants who list them as their second choice major. So if you want to be considered, list them as your first choice.
