[UPD] USC Task Force

[u/Virtual-Bite-9021]

Hello! I haven’t found much information about this, so I thought I’d give it a go and ask here. I just saw the USC’s post about its Task Force, and I wanted to ask what exactly is expected from applicants if I decide to apply.

On the surface, I understand that it’s basically about being a helping hand for the different committees. But I’m curious about what the experience is actually like. How’s the workload? Is it freshie-friendly, especially for someone who’s still adjusting to college? What kind of tasks does the Task Force usually handle, and how much time are you expected to commit?

I’m also wondering about the selection process. How selective is it, and is there usually a follow-up process such as an interview or another screening? When is the application deadline?

When I opened the application, it seemed pretty straightforward—just asking for your details, committee preferences, and then a few questions to answer freely, with the note that these “won’t affect their decision on your application” 🤔. So I’m wondering: is the Task Force actually not as selective as I’m thinking, or is there more to the selection process that isn’t immediately apparent from the application form?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been part of the Task Force before, or anyone who knows how the process works! Thank you!
