It was the most reputed and highest ranked college out of all the colleges I was admitted to.
Course Curriculum :
Very relevant and up to date for today. Effectively marries international relations with business and also leaves room for flexibility. Plenty of research opportunities on campus.
Exams :
For my application, I had to submit, 1 general essay and 3 LoRs. In addition to this, I had to complete 2 supplement essay. In my general essay, I wrote about how my academic struggles in middle school and how I overcame them. For the supplemental essays, I wrote about why I was so eager to study at USC. I got LoRs from two of my school teachers who described the experience of teaching me and I got another LoR from the boss of an institute where I interned in the summer.
Placement :
Alumni networking is very strong and they are very open to helping recent undergraduates finding a job. USC's career center invites employers to give talks to students on a weekly basis and we also have career fairs that happen twice or thrice a semester.
Events :
There are so many diverse student organizations that you can join. Everything ranging from consulting clubs to surfing and rowing clubs. We also have a rocket propulsion lab, which attracts many undergraduate researchers.
Fees :
60000
Scholarship :
N/A
Faculty :
The faculty to student ratio is 8:1. They are distinguished academics with significant experience in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Taking Professor Najmedin Meshkati's engineering diplomacy class in freshman year played a big role in making me realize the importance of interdisciplinary education.
Hostel :
Yes, the facilities are excellent and there are plenty of options to live in a single/double/triple dorm room or suite. The cost of accommodation is in the range of $4000-$7500 and varies based on which residential hall is assigned to you.
