Hey everyone, I hope someone could help give me some feedback of this short essay. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
USC Annenberg essay
Prompt: Describe how you plan to pursue your academic interests at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections. (250 word limit)
Innovations in communications are continuously redefining society's interactions. After enrolling in IB Language and Literature course junior year, I developed an interest for the field of communications. As my perception of the world slowly changes, I shifted from taking social media for granted to cogitating the agenda behind every ad billboard, campaign, and poster.
At USC Annenberg, I believe my fascination for communications could flourish to its full potential. I plan to major in Communications, B.A., in which the degree would prepare me for the competitive field of digital media and marketing. Moreover, USC is also a central hub for job opportunities. As much as I am attracted to vibrant LA culture, I am equally drawn to USC for its extensive internship connections with media companies: Mashable, Collab, and BuzzFeed to name a few. I am also interested in professional researches within USC like the Center for Digital Future, a perfect platform for me to collaborate with others on the study of communication technology and mass media impact on society.
Annenberg could also offer me with study-abroad opportunities to places like Sydney or Shanghai. By examining communications from a different culture and perspective, I could gain new insights on the field. Hence, I also plan to pursue International Studies major and expand my scope of application to a global scale. Finally, with my previous experience as a yearbook editor, I hope to broadcast my passion for journalism and become a part of the phenomenal Annenberg TV News team.
