I'm planning on doing a college q&a video soon, drop your college questions here!

[@user-ir8bq1bu3j]

Are you dating Jack Bratset?

[@privnur5288]

Hello Diana, your name is very beautiful. Actually, I want to ask you something. I live in Turkey. I graduated from high school. I really want USC for undergraduate education. But my family does not have any financial means. I am currently studying for the SAT exam and improving my English. My question is, does the university offer a 100% scholarship? My high school grade point average is 4.17, but I did not participate in many events. During high school, we could not even go to school for two years due to corona. But I only attended two or so events. I also want to study media and communication. Do you have any information among the things I asked?

[@Basisssss899]

Am I the only mom here? Thank you sweetheart. I’m so proud of you. My daughter was accepted, and I was worried because of its reputation, as you stated. As a single mom, I bust my butt so much that sadly we didn’t qualify for FA. However, she will still be struggling as Im still in the working class, and single mom. Definitely will be sharing this with her. I know your content will help her and many others, as it did for me, a mom lol. Sending you lots of love and smiles and wishing you all the success at USC.❤

[@dianizz]

Haha, you're so sweet! It truly means a lot ❤You're definitely a cool mom :) First off, congratulations to your daughter & there are definitely a lot of scholarship/grant opportunities for her. I recommend searching for specific scholarships for your location & background. For instance, having a single mom, being a minority, specific ones based on her major, etc... Definitely negotiate with the financial aid office too! Best of luck

I’m extremely interested in USC and it’s my top school right now! I loved this video. What do you think stood out in your supplemental essays? Did you apply early? I’m a senior currently, class of 2023, I really hope I get in :).

[@dianizz]

I highly suggest researching specific courses, programs, clubs, or organizations that you can see yourself being a part of on campus. They want to know why USC and not other schools, they want to see that you did your research. What will YOU bring to USC that others can't? For instance, I mentioned my lack of experience in film because of representation and how I want to create films that represent my community. I also mentioned I want to be part of their BCA program because it combines the two things I'm interested in (business and film). I also mentioned specific clubs that I saw myself getting involved with such as Hermanas Unidas. I did apply early, but didn't get in until regular decision. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Hey, I’m planning on applying to USC as a Business in Cinematic Arts major and I was wondering what you think of the program. What are some classes or experiences that have stood out to you and how has it helped you in terms of preparing you for a career? Thank you so much

[@dianizz]

Hi Gebril! So far I really enjoy the program because everyone is in a "cohort" so most of us are placed in the same cinema classes & we've gotten closer and that's what the entertainment industry (and majority of industries) are about. It's about who you KNOW. So it's definitely pushed me to meet others within the program and get to know them. I'm taking The Movie Business class this semester and have learned so much about agencies and managers. The professor himself is also in the industry so it's great to be able to learn from someone like him! He brings in speakers also working in the industry, so there are multiple networking opportunities. We are also required to have an internship in the Spring semester of our sophomore year so it has pushed me to research and not procrastinate with internships. Best of luck

[@user-ut9bs2tn7v]

Thank you so much, great video!! So how long are the metro drives for example to Santa Monica pier or Beverly Hills and how long do you need to walk from your dorm to the metro? Also, are uber drives in Los Angeles expensive and save?

[@dianizz]

Thank you! The metro was like a 5 minute walk from my dorm. It really depends which dorms you choose but the metro is right across the street from USC. To get to Santa Monica or Beverly Hills it’s about an hour long metro ride! As for Uber prices, it really depends on traffic so I would recommend ordering Ubers when there’s less traffic so it’s cheaper. For the most part all my Uber experiences have been safe but take a buddy with you anywhere you go just to be cautious or share your location with a family member or friend!

[@dianizz]

Hi! I personally reached out to financial aid for various reasons but if you have a low EFC and meet the requirements for their affordability initiative then it automatically will be lower. It just took a while for scholarships and grant to be accounted for. They adjust the meal swipes every year. My freshman year I was able to use them for any place on campus but now they have limited to to certain places. The food is pretty average but you have many options!!

Congratulations!! I recommend applying to local scholarships based on your city & background. For instance, I search for college scholarships for latina undocumented students. The more specific the scholarship, the higher chance you'll get them because fewer people can qualify/apply. Best of luck

My background is mainly sports, like I was a gymnast until I was 13 and then track athlete until I graduated so I’m wondering if I should include that, because I don’t really have any other experiences other than sports? I’ve also been volunteering with a wounded-veteran service organization since middle school so I’m wondering if it’s ok include that as well?

@@uhnele Hi, I think most colleges only care about the activities you did in high school however if it impacted your life (for example: being a gymnast) then I’m sure you can write about that in your essays.

You can't say the word "field". Idiots. Language can be powerful, and phrases such as “going into the field” or “field work”

You keep contradicting yourself

[@dianizz]

In what ways!?

[@toko34]

@@dianizz oh you say it’s a great school with diversity, yet you say there’s there’s racism (because you are separated in the dorms)? You even say white girls were being racist because they look down on you? Which one is it? Is it a great school or are you just being racist yourself? You also said that professors are all white? Not true. There’s a lot of “other” professors. Basically, because they don’t look like you and what you came from, then it’s exclusively white and racist. USC is a diverse school but it’s not full of only white people and they’re racist. What you say is mutually exclusive. You can’t say professors are all white and white girls look at you wrong then they’re racist; and also say it’s a great school with dorms for all people of all races and all types of people. You might want to be careful what you say because you come across ignorant, immature, and racist yourself. Separate the facts from your feelings. Just because someone looks at you different or look different doesn’t make them racist. If you were white, you’d be considered racist. This content, you said, is for people that look like you? Think about that. You sound insecure. I’m brown like you, but referring to people as racist and school not being diverse and then saying there’s a place for all races is contradicting yourself.

USC CRINGE 😬🤢🤮

[@sandramiller1988]

USC is not diverse? USC Demographic breakdown: Asians 19.3% Black 5.8% Hispanic 15.3% White 24.8% Foreign 26.6% Perhaps this is a perception based on who you choose to hang around with, not the reality of the campus? I have found USC to be extremely diverse in opinions and ethnicities. Diversity doesn’t mean every box is the same color and every gift inside it is the same. Every person is unique no matter their color, their sex or their beliefs. They all have human values just like you though. Even those with whom you stereotype. I have never entered a class at USC, noticed the person who was teaching it was a different color than me and thought I have nothing to learn from this person because I looked nothing like them. Hopefully overtime you will learn that what a person looks like on the outside does not mean they can’t give you something that will help you on your inside… You may think you’re open minded, but from your video I take it you have a very closed mind. Good luck with what you do in life and I hope you grow to understand this over time as you become more wise…

[@isabellab3726]

Where did she say she had nothing to learn from them? She shared her experience with the lack of diversity among staff and the contrast from her high school experience. I don't know your background or your life experiences, but your comment feels intentionally ignorant of what she was trying to say.

05:43 Thanks, I'll remember that when I (hopefully) get accepted. I'd rather stay in my dorm💀 05:55 yeah I'm definitely applying 🏃🏽‍♀️💨 Are there often events or only like every 3 months? And was that roller skating event expensive to go to? 7:43 there's so much, I think when high school starts next year, waiting 4 years until I'm able to apply will be the death of mine😭 8:19 my popcorn is ready 🥲🍿 9:04 WHAT😀 10:53 please tell me it's not that bad thogh😭 My grades used to be so bad, but then we got a teacher who knew how to teach and I was one of the best students. Imagining failing my class bc of a prof sounds kinda scary🕳👩🏽‍🦯 Can you still kinda understand what they're saying or is it that bad, you have to watch explanations on youtube🥲 12:15 was it from afar or did they come up to you and shame you? And does it happen very often? I personally can't deal rlly good with racism so I wanna make sure there isn't too much of that.😭 I reached the end of the video and js wanted to say that I loved this. This is probably one of the only videos where I didn't have to skip every second bc they just couldn't get to the point🥲 Thank you so much for this informative video! :)

[@dianizz]

Thank you, that means a lot!! There’s events like everyday (some small others big) & the roller skating event was FREE. As for the professors, if you go to office hours they are willing to help you with any material you don’t understand but I just end watching KZbin videos lol; also the racist remarks were from afar but you can just feel the energy but they don’t happen too often, it’s just happened like twice
