One of the USC prompts is:
“Your browser history says a lot about you. Take a moment to think about the time you spend online. Whether it’s browsing an Instagram account, listening to your favorite podcast, subscribing to the best web series on YouTube, or even addressing questions on tech-help forums, we want to know where you spend the most time online, and why. Please share your favorite online destination (via a web address, specific app, social network, etc.) - and describe why in a few sentences.”
Are they asking for a single online source or several? They say “destination” rather than “destinations,” but they all say “to describe in a few sentences,” which doesn’t sound like they would want 250 words for one online destination.
Pick one. Describe why you like to go there, what you do there, what it means to you—that may take several sentences. Be smart. They are trying to learn as much as they can about 50,000+ applicants. This is a contemporary question that allows you to share your specific interests, so avoid being generic and choose a site that expresses your values or interests well.
Hi! Which USC prompt is this? I thought there were only two supplements:
USC students are known to be involved. Briefly describe a non-academic pursuit (such as service to community or family, a club or sport, or work, etc.,) that best illustrates who you are, and why it is important to you. (250 word limit)
Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections (250 word limit).
