Question about USC in Los Angeles

[Toejam]

Does anyone know if USC in Los Angeles sends out supplementaries to everyone? Need I be slightly excited??

 

[DrBravesgirl]

secondaries go out to everyone who designated usc on amcas

 

[Toejam]

thanks. I suspected as much

You can still be excited if you want to.
Is it still like 6 essays??

I don't remember USC's essays being all that short, maybe a few paragraphs each or so.

unless i completely blanked on some of them, most looked like they were about 250 words. not terribly short, but not the 2400 character pritzker ones either. of course, there were only two 2400 character ones...either way. this will not be fun

2400 characters (including spaces) ~ 500 words, right?

Personally, I felt that UCLA had the hardest secondary app. USC was 2nd hardest. I know Duke's was a bltch, but I didn't apply there.

I called them and they said they are fixing that. It should take a day or two.

Has anyone noticed that the questions on the printable worksheet are different than the ones on the actual app? Am I going crazy??
