All applicants to Broadcast and Digital Journalism, Print and Digital Journalism, or Public Relations majors must submit a one-page Statement of Intent, explaining their reasons for pursuing an education and career in journalism or public relations.
My first visit to USC was with a club from my school. That day, I took a tour of the campus and one of the stops was in front of Annenberg. The tour guide, who also attends USC, told us about her friend, a current student at Annenberg, and how she has taken the opportunities to work for NBC, Fox, and various other well-known companies, an impressive resume for a 21 year-old. I had already fallen in love with the beauty of the campus, but at that moment I found her success story to be intriguing, inspirational, and most of all, exciting because I have always taken interest in all things concerning media and entertainment. Although I didn't decide at that moment that I wanted to be a Public Relations major, I knew Annenberg was where I wanted to be.
As I did more research on Annenberg, I became increasingly impressed in how the school is involved with all aspects of the media. If admitted, I plan to use everything USC has to offer, including the many student publications, to my advantage. I would like to get involved with Annenberg's TV and radio news as well as Impact, whilst pursuing my B.A. Another way I would like to get involved is by being a part of the Annenberg Latino Student Association because I would meet people like me with similar interests and again, it would provide me the opportunities learn more about public relations.
My ultimate goal is to be a PR manager, but I know things do not always turn out as planned. However I am certain I will use my time at USC to find my path, and since USC is so diverse and has much to offer I am confident that it won't be difficult to find that path. And because of its location and its reputation; USC allows for a uniquely situated potential for me to study and integrate myself in the media community through the well-connected and well-versed professors, as well as the school's networking ability, like the Trojan family, that can get me access to a multitude of opportunities, people, and internships that I would not have otherwise.
