What majors are easier to get into?

<p>What majors at USC are relatively easy to get into?</p>

<p>The ones I might be interested in are</p>

<p>East Asian Language
Computer Science
Broadcast Journalism
Interactive Entertainment
Communication
Public Relations</p>

<p>Any of those easy to get into?</p>

<p>i think it's more about the school than the major itself... the college of letters, arts, and sciences is going to be the easiest to get into because you haev to be accepted there in order to be considered by the other schools. but you what for you're passionate about. if you aren't accepted for your first choice major, you're automatically considered for your second. and if you aren't accepted for that, you can be accepted as undeclared.</p>

<p>I don't know much about the whole admissions process, but take this into consideration...</p>

<p>When I was talking with the engineering department, they mentioned that Engineering students have the top test scores on the campus...you could interpret this to mean that you would be less likely chosen for admission if your scores were not great and you wanted in on engineering. </p>

<p>Or maybe not.</p>

<p>According to U.S. News & World Report for America's Best Undergraduate Colleges in 2007-</p>

<p>USC Schools' rankings:
Cinematic Arts/Film- 1st
Leventhal/Accounting- 5th
Architecture- 6th
Marshall/Business- 9th
Viterbi/Engineering- 31st</p>

<p>Of course, this doesn't translate exactly to which USC school is the most selective but it's interesting. Admissions at each school will tell you they are looking for different things so there is no exact science when it comes admissions.</p>

<p>No major is easy to be admitted to at USC. Some schools within USC, however, do have extra requirements for admission. Specific examples include the Schools of Business, Cinematic Arts, Music, Theater, Fine Arts, and Architecture. The College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences (CLAS) does not have its own criteria; therefore admission is based on essays, grades, test scores, EC's, and recommendations, and not on additional factors like auditions, portfolios, or prerequisite courses. The only major you listed in CLAS is East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC).</p>

<p>CLAS is most likely the easiest because it's not a specialty school like annenberg, viterbi, marshall or cin arts.</p>

<p>Where did you find this on the U.S. News site? I couldn't find it. Do you have a link?</p>

<p>I've seen those same statistics on wikipedia in the USC article. Some stats aren't correct. For example, US News does not rank architecture schools.</p>

<p>Does the engineering department at USC weight math scores more heavily for admissions?</p>

<p>So my first choice is probably going to be annenberg school of communication. What are the requirements for that?</p>

<p>Second choice then should probably be in CLAS (for best chance)?</p>

<p>As a freshmen admitted to Annenberg last year as a comm major, there are no special requirements for the application. However, if I'm not mistaken, there is some sort of writing requirement for journalism majors (journalism is also in Annenberg).</p>
