Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections.
My passion in architecture influences me to pursue architecture as a major. As I searched for an institute that could prepare and enrich me for my goal, I discovered USC and its outstanding faculty and programs. USC offers the professional and specialized training a future architect needs to succeed. I desire the unlimited opportunities, individual attention, and creative atmosphere that USC offers to its students. I plan to enhance my understanding in architecture as well as expand my artistic expressions by choosing from a variety of electives. I hope to take advantage of what USC offers to expand my knowledge. I plan to focus on Eastern Asian Studies in my free electives, because I wanted to learn more about my family background.
In addition, I plan to participate in one of the many study-abroad programs USC offers. I anticipate meeting different creative artists and professors, as well as exploring cultures outside of my hometown. Not only that, USC offers a variety of clubs that students are free to choose from. I am confident that I will find a home at USC. I am looking forward to meeting many new faces and learning from them. Visiting USC strengthens my will to be a Trojan. As soon as I stepped into the Alumni Park, I was immediately mesmerized by its traditional yet inspirational atmosphere. The red-bricked buildings, the grass, the tiled-patterns, and the sidewalk cafĂŠ radiated with intellect and sophistication. These elements blended with each other and formed an environment that takes me away from downtown Los Angeles. When I stepped into the Edward L. Doheny Memorial Library, its massive marbled doors reminded me of St. Peter's church in Vatican City and the stairway to the lobby reminded me of Hogwarts in Harry Potter. At that moment, I immediately fell in love with USC. Each corner, corridor, and halls stimulate my imagination and creativity.
I am looking forward to contribute and share my ideas with creative colleagues and distinguishable faculty. I anticipate enriching my artistic skills and awareness by learning from my creative colleagues and teachers in USC. I am ready to expand my artistic expressions and be open to topics and discussions that I have not come across in high school. With the valuable lessons I learned at USC, I look forward to apply my knowledge and experience to an even broader audience in reality. With the endless opportunities USC offer, I can not be happier to be a Trojan.
Remember, its 1000 characters, not 1000 words maximum. To cut your essay down in length you can cut out everything that doesn't pertain to engineering (i.e. details of the campus). Also, talk more about the specific programs, courses, and clubs you want to do at USC.
Best of luck!
