I didn't expect to get it. I probably got in becuase nobody else from my state went there and they wanted to increase diversity.

Do your homework get good grades you know the drill
Architecture
I took the SAT's and ACT's (though they accept either/or), submitted transcripts, and a portfolio. For those applying to architecture- 1)don't worry too much about the portfolio. Just show that you've got talent. They don't expect there to be a lot of skill there yet- that's what you're coming to college to learn. And visit the campus!

for regular applicants...
the application is pretty standard, but the portion that gives the application commitee a personal look at you is very important. take some time to fill ths stuff out becasue USC isn't just looking for a straight A student who has good tests score (but these are good). USC wants diversity and a vibrant student body, so show them who you tuely are in this application!
For Architecture applicants...
the portfolio is the sole thing that gets you into this program as long as you are a decent student to start off with. USC doesn't want the student that has a lot of experience in architecture, they are more interested in your ability to be creative and believe it or not, your ability to be molded into what they believe is a "good" architecture student. This means that you want to show everything that you can do, the good pieces or work and the bad. Have as much variety as possible and dont worry about not being good enough, you would be suprised the types of kids and their styles that get admitted. GOOD LUCK!

In addition to a good academic record: Do not ask for financial aid! They like student s to pay full tuition, which is VERY expensive. A diverse background aslo helps.

Just do well on your SAT's and have a decent GPA (as long as it's over 3.0). Suck up to the interviewer too. Oh, and have a huge positive balance in your checking account...this is also a big admissions factor.

Call to set up an interview, they are optional and sometimes not well publisized.

Do well in all of your classes, not just science or math. They emphasize good writing/communication skills here, which is vital to become a great leader. I used to interview students for scholarships, and a big thing they look for is the potential to become a Renaissance Scholar (major/minor in two very different fields of study). They want people who are able to work in different spheres of influence and bridge the gaps between them. Show them you can do that or have the potential to do that and you will like you more.
