CV Resumé/Curriculum Vitae: There is no ‘right’ approach to structuring your resumé/CV when updating it to apply for graduate school. However, it is a good idea to take some time to identify the skills and achievements you would like to highlight for your graduate program and structure the document accordingly. Please note, you will be required to upload a copy of your resumé/CV as part of your application. Fee Submit the Common Application and the USC Supplement (both available at www.commonapp.org), any application supplemental materials, and the application fee. The application fee for USC is $80. RL Recommendation Letters: Identify potential recommenders and let them know that you would like them to write a recommendation for you. The minimum number of recommendation letters required varies by program. Additionally, recommendations may be optional for some programs at USC. Transcript Send by mail official transcripts from each college you've attended. Send by mail official, final high school transcripts.
