I haven’t received my secondary yet so please take my word with a grain of salt, but I saw someone on a different thread say it’s the same prompts with no character count + an additional question asking “what’s your special talent”.

i’m just gonna prewrite assuming it’s this and hopefully if/when i receive the secondary, i can post the confirmed prompts here! (would love if someone did just post them now though)

Where did you see the what’s your special talent extra question? Haven’t received the secondary but on SDN someone said it was the same prompts but with no character limit

I saw someone say this on an admit thread like two days ago, but also saw that SDN conflicted it, which is why I was first hesitant to post anything here since I haven't seen the prompts myself. I swear I'm just relaying what I heard, but this was also a thread of anonymous ppl so not sure who to trust and I'm just gonna plan accordingly.

Still confused abt the character limit part though cause does this mean we can type full responses?

No worries, just wanted to see where you saw that! I hope someone that received the secondary emailed about the character count but historically they have said 3-5 sentences right? So I feel like it would be weird to write a lot longer than that

When I looked through last years thread on SDN they said USC actually made the mistake of having no character count in the beginning and sent an email later saying that it should be 65 but anyone who submitted full essays prior will not be penalized. So I'm thinking that maybe that's why they're sending out secondaries so slowly so they don't do it again

I just received the secondary application; I don't see any character/word count at all for those questions...

If there's no limit, stick with no limit!!! Much better safe than sorry
