Hey there! I hope you're doing well and staying sane during these crazy times. Since college deadlines have been fast approaching, I wanted to start opening slots for my college essay editing/consulting services!! If you're interested, please follow the instructions and fill out the Google form linked here: forms.gle/sy7nSey7XGuojgQj9 Due to my busy schedule during my first semester at Yale, my availability is limited. Therefore, I encourage you to act promptly if you require a fast turnaround for your essay edits. I'm still in the process of editing some videos (they should be ready soon), but in the meantime, I hope you all stay safe, warm, and cozy ;)

Thank you for sharing your terrific essays and congratulations on your scholarship!

Does anyone know if usc has fully funded scholarships? Including meals, room, books or any of these?

For international students

Don't let finances hold you back from applying to USC! Based on a quick Google search, it seems that USC offers a variety of notable merit-based scholarship programs, including the Presidential/Trustee Scholarship (the one cited in this video). I also highly recommend applying to other outside merit-based scholarships from private donors as well :)

Congratulations! I am applying to USC this fall, and since I don't qualify for need-based aid, I've been desperately trying to figure out the most important factors USC uses to choose its merit scholarship recipients. What do you think they especially look for? Did you have a really high standardized test score, or do you think something else played a big role in making you stand out? Thanks!

[@linalin8399]

Hi! That's a great question - what could help in your situation is for you to analyze the Common Data Set for USC (google searchable). It seems like academics is of upmost important complemented by the categories of Extracurricular Activities, Talent/ability, character/personal qualities, etc. So, I recommend first, solidifying your academics and then have a spike (usually through unique extracurricular that connects with your broader applicant profile) to stand out and win those scholarships! If you want additional help, I also offer college consulting services as well: forms.gle/3iPwEpatHSMCnjqc9
