Hello!
Admins please let me know if I am doing this wrong - new to the site and trying to figure it out!
I am applying Dec 1 to the USC SCA Writing for screen and television program (BFA - transfer).
I am looking for one or two professionals who would be willing to look over my writing portfolio/application before I submit.
It's already been reviewed by friends, but it would be great to get some more experienced eyes on it.

If anyone is able to help, please reach out! For reference, the packet includes the following:
Thanks so much!
