Insomnia Cookies is definitely my go-to place when I’m craving something sweet.

What advice would you share with students applying to music schools right now?
Enjoy the application process! Especially for prospective music majors, the application process can be very stressful and disappointing at times, but in the end, you will end up at the right school for you, so enjoy the ride.
Why did you choose USC Thornton?
I chose the USC Thornton School of Music because I really liked the conservatory feel of the school of music within a bigger, academically prestigious university, which felt like the best of both worlds for me.
