Senior Slump? Snap Out from It! We understand you’ve got worked very hard on the last years that are few most of those challenging courses, getting involved with numerous extracurriculars, accepting leadership positions, etc. And, you’re undoubtedly working very hard now on your college applications. You’ll feel very tempted to put off your school work in favor of other, more exciting possibilities (senior ditch day, anyone?) But trust us, now’s not the right time to slack off. You have come this far, and you want to make sure you complete strong. And not simply for your own comfort of mind, you have your own internal motivations though we do hope. Realistically, though, what’s going to probably motivate you most to keep those year that is senior up is a little one thing called the Mid-Year Report.
The Mid-Year Report is a very Common Application form that must be submitted by your counselor after very first semester senior year grades become available. Our office takes these grades into account, and expects that the trend in your grades will carry on. That means that when you had been earning grades that are high, there isn’t any reason those As shouldn’t be reflected on your Mid-Year Report.
And while we’re in the topic, senioritis isn’t an excuse to allow your second-semester senior year grades slip, either. We shall be delivered a transcript that is final your high school, and will be sure that those grades are intact, too. As always, we reserve the directly to rescind any admission decisions.
So, moral of the tale is: continue working hard, up until the very day that is last of year. And, prepare to work even harder (but have actually a lot of fun too) in college!

Our deadline that is first is around the corner. Are you able to believe it?! December 1st is less compared to a month away. Pupils applying for talent-based majors must submit a little more information, therefore we have clarified a things that are few the procedure.
In addition to completing the typical App and USC Writing Supplement, pupils deciding on the Iovine and Young Academy, Roski class of Fine Arts, class of Architecture, School of Cinematic Arts, School of Dramatic Arts, therefore the Thornton School of Music must complete the Arts Supplement.
In order to do that, students require to respond ‘yes’ to the question, ‘Do you intend to submit an art supplement which means that your special skill in one or even more associated with arts are thought to be part of the admission process to University of Southern California?’ on the supplement that is writing. This allows the web link to Slideroom to appear into the left column of typical App.
