Pursuing political science to find equality - USC transfer supplemental essay

Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first and second major choices.

A college student with a clear idea of what they want to pursue in an era of immense variety seems to be an anomaly. I am not that anomaly. Like many college students that came before me and the many that will come after I cycled through psychology and biology majors before realizing my passions in political science and economics. Understanding politics, government, economics, and the ties each has to one another has guided me in being clear about decisions and not becoming a victim of confusion caused by intricate law systems. Instead, I choose to relish in knowing as much as possible about these subjects and aiming to share my knowledge in the future as a civil rights lawyer to better the lives of others.

My overall goal to eliminate systematic inequality seems overreaching but in my pursuit of education I have found it better to reach too far and grab all that you pass in the process than to not reach at all and simply stare at what could have been. Attending USC would not only give me the boost to reach further but the access to where I want to reach due to its close proximity to the communities I want to put on an equal playing field.

I am a nit concerned about some of my sentences being too long and how clearly I answered the question.Please feel free to nitpick!!!

Thank you!

Tiffany, there is no way that this response meets the prompt requirements. You have given the reviewer an overview of the path that it took before you came to the conclusion that you want to major in Politics with a minor in Economics. Did I guess right? It was not really pointed out clearly in the essay. There is a need for you be very clear about the major and minor interests that you have and wish to pursue at USC.

Immediately present your major and minor topics at the start of the response. Keep in mind the word count that you have so that you can go direct to the point with the proper information beforehand. So indicate the major and the minor course choices. Then indicate the academic opportunities available for these choices at USC. Whether it be a particular class, a related organization, or an internship program, all of those facts will create the idea as to how you plan to pursue these subjects diligently at USC.

So, you need to revise the whole essay then come back here and let us help you better polish the new version :-)
