USC Supplement Essay

Anyone know where I can find it?

It is within the common app which hasn’t opened yet for this next year. When you add USC, the supplemental questions will come up. Otherwise, you would just google this past years questions, they usually don’t change, but you never know!

The most recent questions within the Common Application were…

What is something about yourself that is essential to understanding you? (250 word limit)

Describe how you plan to pursue your academic interests at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections. (250 word limit)

Describe yourself in three words

What is your favorite snack?

Favorite app/website:

Best movie of all time:

Hashtag to describe yourself:

Dream job:

What is your theme song?

Dream trip:

What TV show will you binge watch next?

Place you are most content?

The first supplement prompt WWWard mentioned is actually one of three you can choose from. The one I responded to was:

USC believes that one learns best when interacting with people of different backgrounds,
experiences and perspectives. Tell us about a time you were exposed to a new idea or
when your beliefs were challenged by another point of view.

There are also additional supplemental essays for engineering (one asking you to describe a time you worked in a group to achieve a goal and one about your favorite website and why). I imagine there might be additional supplements for other competitive majors as well.
