It’s hard to believe after working for nearly 3 years on the admission blog, this is my final post. Reflecting on my time as an admission counselor at USC is bittersweet. We learned a ton, I’ve grown professionally, and I was challenged in and day out day. But, more important than the things I’ve accomplished or added in my job, we get to maneuver on from this chapter of amazing memories to my life, hilarious stories, and on top of that, some pretty incredible friends.

The silver lining for me personally is that I’m not making the university admission world entirely—I’ll be transitioning to ‘the other part of the desk’ as we like to say in this profession by working in a high school as a college therapist. I am excited to continue working together with students and families in this capacity and I also feel therefore lucky to have had such an experience that is wonderful USC to help guide me continue.

Saying goodbye is not effortless, but much like it’s hard to graduate from high school and begin your life as a college student, life is really all concerning the transitions and starting new and exciting chapters. Therefore, that’s how I’m going to regard this change—I’m ‘graduating’ from my 4 years in the admission that is undergraduate at USC and simply moving about the next chapter of my entire life. I’m leaving USC with incredible memories and entering my next adventure with a mind that is open. On top of that, my experience at USC will always be a part of me personally — Fight On!

Tips and Tricks for Tackling the Personal Statement

Calling all seniors! The college is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about college applications year. While grades and test scores are definitely a crucial part of the application, at USC, we conduct a holistic review of files, meaning that people simply take all components for the application into consideration when creating an admission decision.

Therefore, we expect one to put a reasonable amount of time and energy to the qualitative aspects of one’s application; namely, your essay and quick answer responses. This year, the typical Application changed the essay prompts to the(you that are following one):

Some pupils have actually a background or story that is so central to their identity which they think their application would be incomplete without it. Then please share your story if this sounds like you.

Recount an incident or time once you experienced failure. Exactly How did it affect you, and exactly what lessons did you discover?

Think about time whenever you challenged a belief or concept. What prompted you to definitely act? Would you make the decision that is same?

Describe place or environment where you might be perfectly content. What do you are doing or experience there, and just why is it meaningful for you?

Discuss a achievement or event, formal or casual, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your tradition, community, or family.

While there is not just one topic that surpasses another, we do expect a few things from you. Firstly, your essay is free of grammatical and spelling mistakes. This may sound very obvious, but you’d be surprised at exactly how many personal statements we see that contain errors. Many are small, it does ultimately look careless and, does maybe not mirror well in your application in general. Be sure you have people—parents that are few counselors, teachers, etc.—look over your writing to ensure that it’s spotless!

Your writing also needs to be authentic and show your personal unique vocals. Do not try to wow us by utilizing fancy words you found in a thesaurus. We would like to know your tale, your struggles, your triumphs. It is possible to share this while staying true to your writing style.

Do keep in mind that your personal declaration is the opportunity to share something, well, personal you really are outside of your GPA and standardized test score about yourself, and to let an admission counselor know who. The writing components of the application are your opportunity to paint a picture that is complete of you are to highlight something which may not shine through elsewhere.

While admission counselors cannot review any personal statements before they’ve been officially submitted, we are here to answer any questions you may have about the procedure. Happy writing!

On the street Again!

As summer comes to an in depth (where did the time get?!), my colleagues and I are turning our attention to Fall travel period. Many of us will visit upwards of ninety high schools throughout the months of September, October, and November, in nearly 50 states and in over five countries that are different. We will also be attending receptions and interview that is holding in major urban centers like Seattle, New York, Boston, San Francisco, etc.

And our company is one of many. Tons of colleges and universities around the world will likely be visiting high schools in an attempt to meet up great students and generate interest in their respective organizations. We realize that these ‘college visits’ can seem overwhelming, confusing, and yes, possibly a good bit repetitive, but there are methods to really make the many out of a university visit. Here, we wanted to share a tips that are few

1. The individual who is visiting your senior school is most likely reading your application. Many institutions implement a ‘territory manager’ system, where in actuality the nationa country ( and quite often, the world) is divided up into different territories. These regions are then assigned to people that are various work. At USC, the person visiting your high college is in fact the first person to read your application, and is additionally your direct contact throughout the entire application procedure.

2. Make a good impression! No, this does maybe not mean shower us with gifts and compliments (though wouldn’t that be nice after the visit and telling the territory manager a bit about your interests, and potentially writing a follow-up e-mail or note if we could accept them!) Making a good impression means doing your research about the institution, remaining attentive during the visit, asking insightful questions, introducing yourself.

3. Do not be nervous. an university visit is not an interview. There exists a process that is separate that. This is your opportunity to gain as much information you can concerning the college or university.

4. Sometimes, two universities you may be interested in will be scheduled on the same day, as well as at the time that is same. We all know that in between your AP/IB classes, tests, and extracurriculars, you might not be able to attend every see that passions you. It is possible to still link with a representative by sending shmoop.pro an email and introducing yourself. We’ll always leave materials that are extra the counseling office for many who cannot attend.
