How I talked my way into USC

It doesn’t matter how long ago it was, this will remain one of my greatest memories: The time I drove all day to talk to someone in admissions in person because I couldn’t run to the mail box in angst any longer. I still can’t believe my earnest and bold teenage self refused to leave before I had an answer. It was the 90’s and definitely a more innocent time, but after 3 hours of pleading negotiation I left that admissions office with a letter of acceptance in hand from the University of Southern California and one of the most heartwarming memories of my life. It is also one of my favorite interview stories to tell. Please ask me about it! I love to tell this story in person.
