hi!! I'm excited to finally upload more than just my usual video montages and whatnot haha. I've gotten questions from a lot of people regarding applying to USC or just the whole college application process as a whole, so I wanted to make this video for you to use as a guide and give you an example of what one applicant can look like. I know it's long, so here are time stamps for specific sections:
00:45 background
01:55 ACT/SAT
03:37 GPA
03:55 classes
04:52 advice regarding stats
05:55 activities/extracurriculars
09:52 advice regarding activities
11:49 common app essay (12:23 actual reading)
16:46 USC supplements
21:57 additional info
22:30 advice regarding writing
23:50 recommendation letters
25:18 final advice!
I hope you find this helpful, and good luck on your applications! you'll do amazing and end up where you belong :)

EDIT: someone I went to school with told me that I was definitely not below average at my high school, and it was a good reminder of something I want to share with you, too, if you read down this far I guess. I thought I was average/below average because of my lack of talent in STEM, but I tend to forget that I did excel in other areas. being terrible at chemistry and biology and choosing to take the bare minimum doesn't make me any lesser than those who went on and took organic chem or ap physics-calculus. students can be great in different ways.

@@saraholiveiracondelli9792 thank you so much sarah!! i usually google searched "[university name] faculty directory" or i would go to the specific department/school on the university's website and search up or dig for a faculty directory. they usually have a little bio or background that will help you recognize more specifics in that department that might interest you! hope this helps :)

Thank you for this video! I really like your writing style and usc has the cutest merch I swear :P i’m in the process of applying and pls do more usc related videos (like life at usc and stuff). Also i was wondering if you’d be open to read a draft of my essay since you went thru that process? Thanks~ :)

hey gina! this was an AMAZING essay! my dream school is usc annenberg and i was wondering if that was where you were admitted for journalism? how has your experience been so far?
@festivegina
@festivegina 3 года назад
hi!! thank you SO much. yes I was admitted into annenberg. I've only taken one class so far at annenberg and it's been really chill tbh. it was ascj 200 which every journalism and comm major has to take, and I really loved how the course maintains a certain structure and learning objectives throughout the years, but no two semesters are the same. the professor integrates pop culture and current events into the lessons and discussions which is pretty cool and makes it more engaging (which we desperately needed for online school). I hope you get in!!

This is so amazing! Thank you. Do you have to address both choices of major in the why USC and why major essay?
@festivegina
@festivegina 3 года назад
hi!! thank you sm! yes, I highly highly recommend addressing both. not only does it show you didn't bs and put some random major with no reason, but it also shows you're being open-minded and willing to explore different areas of study :)

Hi gina i love your vid i hope you get more and more successful at yt i have a question im in my junior year and i literally have no extracurriculars plus i don't live in usa do you have any tips that might help me. I hope you have your best time in usc it's my dream college too!!!
@festivegina
@festivegina 3 года назад
aw thank you!! if you don't have extracurriculars available to you in school, i highly recommend going out into your community and look for opportunities there! look into local organizations or events you might be interested and reach out to them to see if/how you can get involved with them. if you have any interest in certain careers, it could be beneficial to see if there's anyone in your area that would allow you to shadow them just to learn more. extracurriculars don't always have to be academic or school clubs--they just tend to be the most readily available for students. hope this helps!! :)

hi! so as far as requirements, no you don't need a car. however, i haven't been to campus yet so i can't say whether or not you should bring one. it might help to be able to go do stuff off campus, but since i live so far away, i'm just gonna hope my friends in california will have cars
