USC Appeal Advice
Hi guys, I'm really bummed out over my rejection. USC is my dream school; I applied there only. I am currently a freshman at a private 4-year institution in CA studying film and media. I have a 3.94 college gpa (3.84 dual enrollment bc i had a B in a course i did in HS). My essays were how I discovered my love for public policy through a summer internship at city hall + a family situation, and how I want to combine pr and public policy at USC, and listed ways I would (cuz rn I study media and my school doesn't have much law opps) have decent ECS, my LOR was from the supervisor I interned under. I applied for public relations as my first choice and public policy as my second. Also, I have credits for AP US Govt, AP Comp Govt, AP Stats, APUSH, AP HUG, AP Chinese, and AP Lang. (My current institution does not have a writing course equivalent to WRIT 130). I also have my language completed, and I am currently taking microeconomics, which was listed as recommended before I transfer.
My question now is, is it worth it to appeal? After I submitted my application, I got a social media position at an award-winning film company, and I hope to end my spring semester with all A's or one A-. I also got an RA job and a Videographer Intern position that starts next year (not sure if this is as helpful cuz it's next semester, starting in the fall). For my application, I forgot to include that I was in ASB of a big public school (PR officer), and a few other cool ECS from HS. I want to emphasize how much I like USC, why I fit, and why no other school would provide me with a better experience.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I hope you have a great day. Congrats to those who got in.
