I saw USC mentioned here as well, so I'll chime in: if you apply to a specific program within USC and you're rejected, then your application shifts to the "undecided majors" pile. In other words, you have two shots of getting in: one for the program you want, and the second for the school itself. Or so I've heard. In general, Whitemoon's advice is probably something that can be applied to almost all schools, but I figured I'd give a bit of insight into how it works at USC
