Hi folks! I'm currently working on my USC application, and I'm a bit stuck on the supplemental essays. Could any current students or recent applicants share their successful supplemental essay examples? It would be a huge help to get an idea of what works. Thanks so much!

Remember, it’s crucial to be genuine and focus on telling your own unique story. The admissions committee wants to get to know you as an individual and understand what makes you special. Make sure your essays reflect your voice, show your enthusiasm, and relate to meaningful experiences or interests.
Good luck with your application!
