Hey there! I'm also a trustee scholar from your class. This video stumbled into my feed and it's really interesting to see how our applications and interviews differ. My interview process was sort of unconventional because of my major, but this advice definitely holds for most USC programs. (if anyone out there wants insight on my SCA interview/app I'd be happy to share haha) Honestly, USC just wants you to be yourself and to have a genuine passion for your field of study. Have a conversation with them, not a Q&A session. Great video overall- hope to see you on campus soon! Well...eventually...

[@ShauryaSinha]

These videos give so much insight about the journey and especially it's great when I have "AHA!" moments when a particular detail strikes me as a similarity in thought process. Good stuff brother.

Hey Shaurya, don't mean to be rude but the scholarship you received isn't a full ride. Full ride and Full tuition scholarships aren't the same. A Full ride covers living expenses too! While a Full Tuition which is the one you got only covers tuition. Just wanted to point it out as it might confuse some peeps.

@@ShauryaSinha No worries Sir. (Buckle up, this is a long one!) I'm currently studying in Grade 10, ICSE (We're in the same gang 🤣) and I myself am going through that very phase of finding the one right for me, and believe me, I am really really struggling. Although money isn't much of an obstacle as I come from a kind-of privileged family, trust is. The one counsellor I visited (in Mumbai) took fork'in 19000 FOR AN HOUR!!!!!! Besides, he was pushing me to take IB without any firm reason to do so. Although my comments might make me seem like a complaining crybaby, I am in that phase of my life where I really do need good guidance, to well; be knowledgeable and ultimately attend Stanford University, just like you. You've become the best guide I ever had! Even though I don't have as many extracurriculars ( to be precise - none) as you, it's my goal to attend Stanford. Well I really hope that you'll reveal the one you went to, might as well be sometime later in this exciting journey of your life, just like you told the 30% gang about TutelaPrep. Even I've got half-a-year to seriously commit to counselling, so there's a lot of time on hand for you to start feeling comfortable about sharing that 😉

Am I likely to be rejected?

[@sidakgill8195]

1) you ask the college for a waiver before applying, they might send u a questionnaire to determine ur eligibility. Sometimes colleges themselves offer u a waiver without asking. 2) it's different for all schools. Some have specific dates for specific term plans. Some are rolling basis. 3) not at all. You need to make sure that your personal essay is heartfelt scores don't define u and that's what the US colleges believe. Also don't apply to a lot of schools (30 or something) it's a lot of work after submitting ur application too.
