Senior Slump? Snap Out from It! We understand you have worked very hard over the last years that are few all of those challenging courses, getting involved with numerous extracurriculars, taking on leadership positions, etc. And, you’re undoubtedly working very difficult now on your college applications. You may feel very tempted to put your school work off in favor of other, more exciting possibilities (senior ditch day, anybody?) But trust us, now could be maybe not the right time to slack off. You attended this far, and you want to make sure you complete strong. And not only on your own peace of mind, though we do hope you’ve got your own internal motivations. Realistically, though, what’s going to probably motivate you most to keep those year that is senior up is a little something called the Mid-Year Report. The Mid-Year Report is a very Common form that must be submitted by your therapist after very first semester senior year grades become available. Our office takes these grades into consideration, and expects that the trend in your grades will continue. That means that when you had been earning grades that are high, there’s absolutely no explanation those As shouldn’t be reflected on your Mid-Year Report. And although we’re on the topic, senioritis is not an excuse to allow your second-semester year that is senior slip, either. We will be sent a final transcript from your high college, and can ensure that those grades are intact, too. As always, we reserve the directly to rescind any admission decisions. So, moral of the story is: continue working hard, up until ab muscles day that is last of year. And, prepare to work even harder (but have a lot of fun too) in university! The Art of the Health Supplement Our first deadline is merely around the corner. Are you able to believe it?! December 1st is less than a month away. Students using for talent-based majors must submit a little more information, therefore we’ve clarified a things that are few the process. In addition to doing the typical App and USC Writing Supplement, students deciding on the Iovine and Young Academy, Roski School of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, School of Cinematic Arts, School of Dramatic Arts, while the Thornton School of Music must finish the Arts Supplement. To do that, students require to react ‘yes’ to the question, ‘Do you intend to submit an art supplement so that your special skill in one or higher of this arts is going to be considered as element of the admission process to University of Southern California?’ on the supplement that is writing. This allows the link to Slideroom to appear in the left column of typical App. Auditions: Thornton: Students should be prescreened before being invited for an audition. To get this done, pupils must upload recordings to the ‘Fall DecisionDesk portal’ by the 1st deadline december. They must also complete the Art Supplement in Slideroom.
