thank you so much for making this!! i stumbled upon your channel as a first gen latina in hs and im also really hoping to get into usc!! im a junior, and i try my best to stand out academics wise but i feel like at this point in hs my extracurriculars are pretty minimal compared to other people, so i was just wondering what i can do to be a strong applicant despite that?love your videos!!

Def your essays!! Express your personality and passions. College admission officers want to know YOU aside from your grades and extracurriculars. What makes you YOU?!

[@maliasmith8684]

First, so proud of you already for all the hard work you are doing! Like Diana said, your essay will really be the best place to set ur self apart. Also the amount of extracurriculars are far less important than the reason why and how you participated in them. For example, I wanted to major in psychology and minor in early childhood development. Although I didn’t have many extra curricular activities they all painted a picture of my interest in mental health and childcare. It’s just important how you package the information. Make sure that someone reading it can get a good idea of who YOU are and what you are capable of becoming!!!
