Has anyone started the 2nd part of USC's supplemental application yet? I'm very curious to know what the essay topics are but I'm still working on part 1. 🙁

Hi, yeah I don't know what the essay is for part 2. I'm finished with part 1 but I have to wait for one of my references to give me the title and the submission number for the paper I co-authored so that I can put that info down in the publication section of the application. I wish USC would let us fill out part 2 in parallel with part 1.

Yup.

Yup.

Ah okay thanks. I was confusing USC's supplemental app. with UCSF's. Apparently UCSF's involves multiple forms you gotta printout/fill & mail...

Here is part of last year's supplemental: They gave us three topics. We were instructed to answer #1 and then either #2 or #3. I chose #1 and #3 and I can't remember what #2 was, sorry.

..#1. What have you done to prepare for admission and a career in pharmacy? (5000 character limit)

#3. If you believe that your college transcripts or your resume does not adequately portray your past performance or your future promise as a pharmacist, please feel free to explain the reasons for the disparity; for example, employment, extracurricular activities, personal characteristics or illness. (5000 character limit)



FYI, they also wanted a copy of my current resume and a set of transcripts mailed to them. But, PLEASE wait for their instructions before doing this.
