Honestly, I think that it was Haruhi that got you into USC.

I was a bit hesitant to put her in that box.










Because she's not a fictional character.

That's the USC application? They ask your for your favourite food? Srsly?

I don't know USC so when I saw the "Welcome to the Trojan Family," I thought you got scammed and got a trojan; but then I realized that was a picture. LOL.

Congrats on getting accepted.

Hm I would guess that candor goes a long way with them :p

Either that or they seriously didn't take most/all of those responses into account. No idea; I never had to do anything like that when I applied to colleges.

USC has a lot of funny questions because they want to know more about you as a person than just a bunch of statistics. they view applications very holistically.

idk, if i was reviewing applications putting an anime character in that box would be a red flag to me

I agree. Thousands of applications and they take the time to see a list of favorites and use that to determine character? I doubt it.

Thinking of it from a business perspective, you want to accept as many people as possible. While you want to maintain an institution of academic excellence and can't accept EVERYONE, you can take everyone above a certain threshold of GPA, test scores, and transcripts. I can only ever see them using that information in the event of a borderline acceptance/denial or if you ever went in to meet with a school official they can look it up and use it as an icebreaker. Plus, now the University can say for certain using discrete examples that they have a diverse campus.

hahaha nice, congrats

i personally didn't apply to USC but i hated having to answer those stupid questions on other apps. undergrad admission admins clearly don't give a shit about what my favorite food is, and my favorite books/movies/etc don't give them a better idea of my character in a holistic approach

Every single school says that/tries to give off that impression to be honest. A few of my friends worked in admission offices of various universities, and told me that almost no one reads the responses to the "fun" and "non-serious" questions lol TT

To go along with what CSheep said, to be a honest, that kind of stuff is almost a farce. When even the interview with college alumni proves to be of little to no use at all in the application process (every single alumni that interviewed me personally has told me this point blank), I doubt that stuff is very helpful in the grand scheme of things.
