USC (2022-2023)

[fathom needle]

11 years ago

[manic fulcrum]

its so expensive

[glossy crane]

anyone know how successful the trojan transfer program is

[manic fulcrum]

its not worth it

dude u guys panicking ovef the ability to pay 91K a year

not worth it

[rotund idol]

LOL WHY

[smoky shadow]

he got married and then has his own business for photography now i believe

[fiery ridge]

USC is worth it. You're not paying 91k a year. You're going to get grants or scholarships if you go to SC and aren't that equipped

Like, sure I have to pay off a bit of loans now. But I would say I got more out than I put in even if the initial payment is deferred

Then again, it's not always the best fit

[smoky shadow]

i wanna be in la cuz of my grandma

plus im tryna pursue music so like 💀 would be ideal to get into usc...

[fiery ridge]

Thornton?

[smoky shadow]

that was my first major choice

[fathom needle]

he just said fuck grades i am going to film school

and he got in

respect

[smoky shadow]

but like 😭 i think i wanna actually get a solid liberal education

[rotund idol]

literally

[fiery ridge]

How was your portfolio?

It really all hinges on that

[smoky shadow]

i think it was good :) but i changed my major LOL

so like 💀 it dont matter anymore

id rather minor in music

love music but uh 😭 getting a degree in music can be risky

[fiery ridge]

That's the thing with Thornton. They want students who are all in

[rotund idol]

what are you majoring in now

[smoky shadow]

cognitive science

i wanna understand how music affects the mind

[fiery ridge]

That's a good hook

[smoky shadow]

i think music does a lot to heal us so i just wanna understand how it actually does that

plus in the music i make, i wanna take what i learn and apply it there

💃

[rotund idol]

thats so cool

[fiery ridge]

Hope you said that in the essay

[smoky shadow]

thanks :D

[smoky shadow]

sure did

it was just music and cognitive science switched around

but should be fine cuz its still the same story LOL

[fiery ridge]

✌️

[runic drum]

I got asked about the movie I put in my interview 💀

[rotund idol]

[runic drum]

hans zimmer is a legend

[rotund idol]

EXCATLY

[smoky isle]

Wait when decisions?

[twilit palm]

tmr

[runic drum]

his knowledge of random theoretical sound stuff

[still quiver]

tonight

[runic drum]

like in dunkirk?

[smoky shadow]

Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys, for an extra boost of confidence in the morning.
thats what i wrote

[runic drum]

the climbing effect?

genius.

[smoky shadow]

love alicia keys

u cant go wrong with alicia keys

[rotund idol]

i listen to cornfield chase surrounding any large event, so i wrote soemhting like that

[runic drum]

i wrote joe hisaishi lmao

[rotund idol]

what is this

[smoky shadow]

dream job i put: Grammy Awarded Vocalist, an accomplished musician and music producer.
im so cool 💀

[runic drum]

ooh let me explain

[smoky shadow]

grammy guys

[runic drum]

so essentially imagine three instruments one low (lets assume like a tuba), medium (trumpet) and high (flute)

[smoky shadow]

one day i get a grammy and imma be like: it all started on a discord server. 💀

[runic drum]

so all of them are climbing up a scale

[rotund idol]

LOL

[vestal onyx]

I cannot for the life of me remember what I put for dream job

[rotund idol]

yeah

[smoky shadow]

😭

[runic drum]

the highest instrumet descrendos going up and then resets the scale and dynamics at the end

[vestal onyx]

Or like any of the answers to be honest

[runic drum]

the lowest instruments does the opposite

and the middle instrument i don't remember

[rotund idol]

i am not undertsadning this

do you have an example

[runic drum]

i forgot which song it is

[rotund idol]

dunkirk?

[runic drum]

its one of them

but essentially it gives the effect that the scales go up infinetly

[noble willow]

hans zimmer is goated

[runic drum]

like the music is getting infinetly higher

[rotund idol]

letse see

[runic drum]

like those barber poles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVWTQcZbLgY&ab_channel=Vox

these guys explain it pretty well

[smoky shadow]

any music people know the song dubula...

😭 its stuck in my head cuz we're singing it in choir

[runic drum]

It's call the mole

THEY'RE CALLED SHEPARD TONES

[rotund idol]

okay lisetnging

[smoky shadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l4QzeY8cxg&ab_channel=TheBigSing2014
this song bro 😭 stuck in my head

[still quiver]

[runic drum]

crescendo effect also makes sense

[smoky shadow]

[unkempt marten]

i wasn’t motivated to do my portfolio so i half assed it

and chose cs

i’m 100% not getting in lmfao

i don’t know why i did that 😭😭

imma hold out hope for nyu cause i actually did their portfolio

[earnest glade]

[earnest glade]

!usc

[queen heath]

4:31 PST

[obtuse basalt]

!chance

[queen heath]

58%

[azure stratus]

whats the rd acceptance rate?

[wispy elbow]

gptzero isnt accurate

[blissful plaza]

It’ll be less than 10%

They have 88k apps

[high pilot]

it’s 6.9%

apparently

around 7%

[azure stratus]

oh!

that is. scary!

[blissful plaza]

8% overall for viterbi

[cloud belfry]

wow

[torn flame]

Good luck all

[still quiver]

what about marshall?

[limber badge]

Yeah? I use other models instead

[digital turtle]

What time are we thinking

[south ruin]

Low 😦

Marshall me pray

Btw yall

I heard some ppl said that Usc is in the unsafe neighborhood of la

Is that true?

@crisp halo ?

[grim shore]

same

[grim shore]

Me too, but my counselor told me that they made major improvements to the area, such as the construction of the USC village, while also massively improving safety features, such as requiring an ID if you leave past 10 and providing Ubers to all students if they are trying to come back home at late night.

[vestal onyx]

That doesn’t change anything about the neighborhood or area

The sentiment I get is campus is fine but be careful in the surrounding area

[grim shore]

I never said it changes anything about it, just said they worked very hard to try and make it safer

[vestal onyx]

This same sentiment applies to like most colleges though as well

[grim shore]

like baltimore, providence, etc

[timid forge]

what time does it come out

do we know

[high pilot]

isn’t it 4pm PST

[grim shore]

yay time to get rejected

[high pilot]

nah bro u gettin in 🤞

[sturdy mauve]

Boutta go 0/3

[high pilot]

it’s 4 PST right

around

?

[old gust]

You were gonna do arch?

[grim shore]

def not bruh, im on a losing streak

[frail marsh]

!usc

anyone know when decisions come out?

[grim shore]

someone said like 6 cst but idk

[crisp halo]

I second everything @grim shore said!!

[frail marsh]

ight bet thanks

[south ruin]

I see thank you

[high pilot]

i think it’s safe as long as you make smart decisions like not walking in the street at midnight by yourself

@crisp halo so 70% of the class is getting filled today?

i heard that’s like 5.5k people

5.5k/80k

[crisp halo]

this is correct

i do have some more of those in depth numbers, but they will be released along with decisions

[high pilot]

ooh

alright

do you happen to know the

acceptance rate from last year?

[charred laurel]

@crisp halo its been 6 weeks now. Its still the same.

[fathom needle]

viterbi 8% 😦

i am not getting in

[crisp halo]

overall was 12.9%

[high pilot]

oh so it’s like gonna be half that this year?!

damn

crazy

[fathom needle]

wait does the AR include spring admits

the 8%

[crisp halo]

just as i said before, if does not mean you will be automatically denied admission

[crisp halo]

yes

[fathom needle]

rip

[twilit citrus]

Kiley will I get in?

[crisp halo]

i sure hope so!

[twilit citrus]

❤️

[high pilot]

what are your opinions on the DC campus

for the future

[fathom needle]

increased tuition 👎

[high pilot]

people are calling it a “northeastern” move

[crisp halo]

its way too early to have opinions for me lmao

[high pilot]

but i think it’s gonna be good for the rankings lmao

[twilit citrus]

Fr a northeastern move

But DC is much better than Oakland 💀

[silk cedar]

what they increased tuition by next year????????

they already cost a fortune

[high pilot]

it goes up every year

in 2 years COA bouta be 100k

[silk cedar]

is it frozen for people then

[twilit citrus]

4-5%/yr for the next few years prob

[silk cedar]

like will it continue to go up for current student

or is it frozen at original price

[twilit citrus]

Yes

[high pilot]

i think it goes up

which is sad

[silk cedar]

god damn

if u dont accept me idrc usc

[twilit citrus]

Unless you prepaid for all four years if they offer that. Which is a bad idea

[crisp halo]

there is a way to lock in tuition

yes if u prepay

[high pilot]

bruh but

i don’t think prepaying is the way to go

for me at least

[silk cedar]

can u get refunded

if u drop

[crisp halo]

Yes I believe up to 80%

[twilit citrus]

But remember it’s easy to find 5%+ CDs which is more than the tuition increases. So instead of prepaying, just stagger some CDs

[tiny oar]

can usc accept me even though my app was terrible compared to my rds

[silk cedar]

wdym Cds

[high pilot]

i think also it incentivizes students to work harder for possibly scholarships and maybe lowering the cost of attendance for themselves

but still 91k is 😅

[twilit citrus]

Hell even treasuries are like 5% now so you could ladder those to mature when you’d need tuition payments

[twilit citrus]

Certificate of deposit. A security you buy that pays a (typically) fixed rate of interest

All this to say don’t prepay

It’s very financially stupid

[high pilot]

yeah

damn tho the freshman class bouta be huge

[sturdy mauve]

Is Marshall lower

[high pilot]

no

[twilit citrus]

Same as typical if they estimated their yield right

[sturdy mauve]

So u know the approx for Marshall

[high pilot]

yeah but in general i’m j saying

usc freshman class is big

[sturdy mauve]

*do

[crisp halo]

we’re expecting that people will commit elsewhere also, so yield estimate yk

[high pilot]

i think it’s like 10%

might be wrong

but i saw it on

google

[fathom needle]

i got my 8% source from usc blog

paul wrote it

[sturdy mauve]

Great

So excited

[high pilot]

@crisp halo last question, are scholarships hard to get after freshman year?

i rly wanna lower my COA

later on

or like grants, etc

[crisp halo]

all of our merit based scholarships are only offered to first years

however you can definitely find other scholarships though the university like cultural centers, specific majors/schools, and outside scholarships as well

[sweet bramble]

If we applied EA and got deferred can we still be offered merit aid if we’re accepted RD?

[crisp halo]

no, you would have gone through the scholarship interview process

keep asking questions!! i’m gonna be away for like 15 mins tho and then i’ll be back lol

[misty cedar]

We have no exact time for decision release right ?

[empty cove]

I think people left I gotta add you before rd comes out

[empty cove]

It will be good news 🙏

[empty cove]

Wooooo let’s go kileyyyyy

[split flint]

it is

it is always accurate with GPT-generated text, and denying that fact is being delusional

[crisp halo]

hahah!!

[blissful plaza]

Expect 5pm PT

[crisp halo]

decisions come out on a rolling basis to prevent overloading our servers

but decisions should all be out by 5pm PST

[blissful plaza]

Ah

[empty cove]

Ea almost all of them rolled out between 4-5pm pst

[twilit palm]

Is it active?

[empty cove]

Yeah it’s real fun

[languid echo]

A: no you are not

[timid wigeon]

@crisp halo you can still get the national merit tuition scholarship when you apply rd right

[high pilot]

ㅇㅇㅇ

[twilit palm]

Yea

[timid wigeon]

cuz for that one there’s no interview just become NMS finalist

[timid wigeon]

ok Ty

[wispy elbow]

its not

[noble willow]

its not accurate

it just finds tendencies, those tendencies are also tendencies humans can make

[wispy elbow]

yeah

sentence perplexity and whatever arent even real statistics

[noble willow]

i just wanna get into usc i dont even care about the scholarships

[wispy elbow]

[wispy elbow]

[languid echo]

[noble willow]

no

[wispy elbow]

[forest bridge]

[languid echo]

I don’t qualify for any aid unfortunately

[crisp halo]

HAPPY DECISION DAY!! best of luck to everyone awating decisions. I thought I would give y'all some FAQs so it's all in one spot. Fight on! - <3 Kiley

Q: WHAT TIME WILL DECISIONS DROP?
A: Its on a rolling basis to make sure our servers don't crash. They will all be out by 5pm PST

Q: How tf do you know all of this?
A: I work with the admissions center. I don't read apps, my bosses do, but I'm a student ambassador. I give tours, host info sessions, and help prospective students with the application process. All of this information is public info and can be fact checked.

Q: I GOT IN! What now?
A: If you are ready to commit, put down your deposit and submit your intent to enroll. This is due by May 1st (aka commitment day). After that, if you are interested in housing, start your housing application ASAP! Housing is based on a first come-first served basis.

Q: What's this about being admitted for spring? Am I waitlisted?
A: Nope! USC doesn't offer waitlist spots. You are fully admitted into USC, your Intent to Enroll form is due May 1st (commitment day) however your deposit is not due until August 1st. During your fall semester, you can study abroad at one of our partner universities, take community college classes, or simply take a semester off!

Q: I was denied admission. What now?
A: Don't give up! I was denied my first year and ended up transferring to USC. We do also have an appeal process to appeal a denied decision, so read the terms of your decision for instructions on how to do that.

Q: When are merit scholarships dropping?
A: That date is not available to the public yet, but very soon, so keep an eye out!

Q: I'm a National Merit Finalist, how do I get that scholarship?
A: You must select USC as your TOP choice school within NMSQT and commit! From there, the National Merit services will give us your information and you will automatically get a half-tuition scholarship.

[noble willow]

i did fin aid calc for stanford and it said i get $500 fin aid per year

[crisp halo]

@bright cradle pin please bestie

[noble willow]

I appreciate u doing this on a weekday.

[wispy elbow]

did u do fafsa @noble willow

[noble willow]

no

[timid wigeon]

pin this

[noble willow]

@ the mods

[timid wigeon]

thanks for this, it’s very helpful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[noble willow]

@bright cradle yo whats up my homie. Can u pin kiley's message

[atomic inlet]

tysm - obvi very helpful and kind of u!

[fossil ravine]

wait theres no waitlist? 😭

[noble willow]

no

they offer spring enrollment

instead of

waitlist

[atomic inlet]

that's not a bad deal

[noble willow]

it isnt

[atomic inlet]

i'd rather not get waitlisted

[noble willow]

in my view

yeah

[atomic inlet]

just feels like false hope

[noble willow]

purgatory hell

this chat just died rn

kiley cooking something up

I can see her typing

[mighty compass]

Guys when’s it coming

How many hours

[atomic inlet]

2

roughly

[crisp halo]

PART 2

Q: Can I still get a merit scholarship if I was deferred EA and then accepted RD?
A: No, to be in the running for a merit scholarship you would have to be admitted EA and go though the scholarship interview process.

Q: When will I get my physical acceptance packet?
A: They will be mailed out next week!

Q: Is the "Spoiled Child" stereotype true?
A: I mean it just depends on what kind of crowd you associate yourself with. There are definitely people here that are full pay and wear designer everywhere they go and have more money on their wrist than some families make in a year, but there are also people who make less that 80k a year and are here on a full ride, FGLI students, etc. 2/3 of our student body is on some type of financial aid. so theres definitely a mix of everything

Q: Is USC safe?
A: I personally have never felt unsafe on or around campus. USC has MANY programs in place to ensure safety like requiring an ID if you want to come on campus past 9pm and a free Lyft service every night between the hours of 6pm-2am. DM me for more info on this if you like.

Q: Is USC better than UCLA?
A: duh At the end of the day, they're both great schools. Do your own research about your major, research opportunities, area/campus life, and cost of attendance. Make your own informed decision!

Q: I'm worried about making friends
A: Totally understandable! You can always join clubs for similar interests, meet people in your classes, and even your roommates will be built in friends!! It’s not as daunting as it seems. Everyone is always looking for friendships

Q: What's the student culture like?
A: Definitely a work hard play hard environment, however there are MANY options for you if that isn't your scene.

Q: Can you tell me more about _____?
A: Yes lol thats my job, dm me!!

[timid wigeon]

LET HER COOK

[next orbit]

why should I expect a faq

[high pilot]

im sorry if i hurt your feelings man

i rly am

[next orbit]

oh no my feelings arent hurt

i j felt like being an asshole

[high pilot]

lmao

sry i shoulda just answered the question now that i think abt it

[atomic inlet]

awk

[high pilot]

it took longer to type out what i did

but anyways yeah

no other thread has an FAQ

just shows that kiley is the 🐐

[next orbit]

yeah

and kiley worked hard to get us all admitted

[twilit palm]

Who’s ready to see this thread popoff today

[atomic inlet]

not me

[delicate peak]

What is the acceptance rate for Marshall school of business?

[weak walrus]

time?

[next orbit]

b4 5

[high pilot]

<10%

[next orbit]

they accept people

[delicate peak]

Fuck

😭😭

[high pilot]

i rly don’t think they shoulda deferred 94%

[timid wigeon]

if i get in how easy is it to switch majors

[weak walrus]

pst?

[high pilot]

they shoulda just rejected

like a percentage

[delicate peak]

No cap

[next orbit]

no

the nearest 5 time to u

[delicate peak]

They shoulda just been normal

[weak walrus]

oh

[delicate peak]

💀

[weak walrus]

k

[timid forge]

Depends on the major that u want to transfer into

[next orbit]

like if its 11pm rn

5am

11am

[crisp halo]

depends on department,

[next orbit]

5pk

[high pilot]

is annenberg rly hard to transfer to

[timid wigeon]

viterbi is impossible to switch into I bet💀

[crisp halo]

nah lol

[high pilot]

oh

nice

[timid forge]

I don’t think so

[crisp halo]

switch into, yes, but from major to major is VERY easy

[timid forge]

I have friends who switched from dornsife to viterbit

And vice versa

Departments like film are extremely hard to transfer into

[timid wigeon]

ah ok sounds good

[timid forge]

Gl y’all and fight on 🙂

[noble willow]

thanks

[empty cove]

Fight on

[indigo marten]

well well well

[noble willow]

well well well

[lean wren]

[high pilot]

✌️✌️✌️✌️

[spice maple]

lmao

[high pilot]

yeah

[spice maple]

i thought it was 4:30 pacific

[high pilot]

[lean wren]

so rolling from… 4:30-5 pst? or

[brisk orbit]

Rolling from 4-5

[celest canyon]

???????

[brisk orbit]

A lot of ppl got updates around 4:30

[celest canyon]

those are strangest string of messages i've read today

you don't need to show pictures of your friend to show that her speculation is legit ???

as long as you have her permission

i guess

[lean wren]

thanks guys

[mild grotto]

hi

[twilit palm]

They all come out from 4-5pm pst. Your time zone doesn’t matter

[mild grotto]

hello

[leaden knot]

just jumping in here cuz why not

[mild grotto]

hello sev

i am david

[leaden knot]

👋

[mild grotto]

@bitter rover i am david

[leaden knot]

hello david

i am sev (in cyberspace---a "gamertag" if you will)

[mild grotto]

oh i don't get it

but i am david

[leaden knot]

a "gamertag" is a virtual name---it does not reflect any part of my identity outside of this virtual realm

[mild grotto]

oh. so i am not david. i am lavid

in cyberspace

hello sev. i am lavid (in cyberspace---a "gamertag" if you will)

@boreal badger i am david

[leaden knot]

hello lavid. I am sev

while my real identity may remain a mystery, i feel a connection developing that surpasses this virtual realm. Such is the illusion provided by social media

[mild grotto]

lavid can feel the connection

[boreal badger]

hi david

whats up

[mild grotto]

hello boo boo!

i am lavid

[boreal badger]

lol

[mild grotto]

ouch! i have a bubu

[boreal badger]

@dire latch hello. i am lavid

sev where are you 🙄

@leaden knot i miss u.

[split flint]

I’ll have to stay awake till 5 am

[boreal badger]

why to do @ everyone

[mild grotto]

hi bubu

[timid wigeon]

wait so guarateed we arent gonna see anything until 4pm ish?

4 pm EST or 4 pm PST?

[boreal badger]

pst

[prime musk]

UCLA>>>>>USC I dont make the rules

[boreal badger]

i think

since usc in pstt time

[lean wren]

bro came in the usc chat to say this 💀

[timid wigeon]

nice

[lone swan]

what time

[timid wigeon]

ratio

[lone swan]

is it coming out?

[lean wren]

4-5pm pst

[prime musk]

also cuz i applied to USC but UCLA accepted me first

so I like them more

[lone swan]

Ok thanks

[prime musk]

USC just had to defer me in EA

smh

mid school

[lean wren]

could come out earlier tho that’s just what ppl are saying

all decisions will be out by 5

[prime musk]

USC is a wannabe UCLA

[noble willow]

nah

[wispy elbow]

who even are u bro

call up any college and ask if theyre using gptzero api to check essays

[fair surge]

most friendly usc conversation

[grim shore]

USC is UCLA premium

[timid wigeon]

least malding ucla student

[boreal badger]

agree

[noble willow]

have fun with your 900+ class size lectures. MFs be sitting on the UCLA lecture floor to listen in for their intro cs classes lmao

[timid wigeon]

ucla students talking about how much better they are than usc (they all applied to usc and were rejected)

[plush skiff]

It is deferred harder to get in to UCLA than USC. But it doesn’t meter much at this point.

[azure hawk]

is there a predicted time?

[azure hawk]

have fun being 400k in debt 😭

[plush skiff]

Is it actually gonna be so bad?

[noble willow]

it is at cal

[plush skiff]

Bruh

[fair surge]

are there really no waitlists

[noble willow]

i dont mean to be rude to any ucla person just like some people come in this chat just to troll lmao

[plush skiff]

Thats why I don’t want to go to UCLA so much. I feel like I will get lost among 92929201001022 people.

[noble willow]

students sit on the floors at Cal and outside the classes cause the rooms are all filled

Cal is still a great school without a doubt tho

[plush skiff]

Bruh wtf

[noble willow]

just like its not fun

yeah you can find videos I believe of how cramped the university is

[timid wigeon]

i heard a data science class at cal had like 1k studnets

[noble willow]

yeah

[prime musk]

USC is UCLA with ads

[timid wigeon]

anyways i dont have a dog in this fight. im going to get rejected by usc and i didnt even apply to ucla

[noble willow]

i gotta give props for the trolling tho

[plush skiff]

I am majoring in Econ and pre-business tho. Maybe it won’t be as bad as CS.

[noble willow]

it prob wont. Just CS is super impacted

[prime musk]

also Inglewood 🤢🤢🤢

[noble willow]

inglewood is goated

[prime musk]

Beverley Hills 🤩🤩🤩

[grim shore]

ur only saying that cause ur ucla committed

[prime musk]

i’m not committed yet

[noble willow]

bro why did u apply to usc if u dont like it lmao

[prime musk]

inglewood is like the Oakland district of LA

[plush skiff]

Waiting for ivy day😎

[obtuse basalt]

What time today

[fair surge]

^

[timid wigeon]

4pm-5pm pst i think??? not sure

[noble willow]

ucla is next to a cemetery bro. Yall gonna see dead people on ur commute every day

[prime musk]

y’all just mad you couldn’t pay your way into UCLA

[plush skiff]

Bruh wtf

[split flint]

Okay, if GPTZero does not work, would you be open to trying the tool OpenAI developed itself?

[noble willow]

just see on google maps

[obtuse basalt]

UCLA insane

[split flint]

https://openai.com/blog/new-ai-classifier-for-indicating-ai-written-text

[noble willow]

bruh stop the trolling guyhij

[plush skiff]

Why everything I see about UCLA is negative…

[noble willow]

u dont need to do this bro

[prime musk]

anyway good luck USC people I just have to get used to hating USC

[split flint]

note that this only works for GPT, and not for AI like Claude.

[stable spear]

!usc

[noble willow]

nah its a good school just talking back to a troll

thats it. Anyone who got into UCLA should be proud

[prime musk]

i’m not trolling i’m just speaking facts 🙄

[timid wigeon]

this school was my whole motivation for studying for the psat so i had better get in lol

[prime musk]

ok no seriously tho

[wispy elbow]

That one doesnt work either

[prime musk]

USC good school

[wispy elbow]

it doesnt even work with chatgpt text

[prime musk]

i’m just biased towards UCLA

[noble willow]

thats fair

i respect that

[prime musk]

also cuz i can’t justify paying 80k a year

[split flint]

you’re a nice troll ngl

[noble willow]

why cant we just acknowledge both r good schools lol

[prime musk]

UCLA is only 40k that’s why i prefer it

[noble willow]

fair

[timid wigeon]

national merit:

[plush skiff]

Is that instate?

[wispy elbow]

why are u so mad

[prime musk]

also cuz the food is better

[prime musk]

yes

[plush skiff]

Well out of state is 70k

So

[prime musk]

my shit hole school didn’t offer it

[noble willow]

yo the real fight is between supernova and ynb

[plush skiff]

Not a big difference

[split flint]

am i tho

[prime musk]

ya that’s a big diff

in state vs OOS

[plush skiff]

Yes

Ofc

I mean

[prime musk]

UCLA is better in state

[plush skiff]

Between the usc and Ucla

[noble willow]

oos is crazy expensive for a public school but if they can afford it I guess its ok

[plush skiff]

70k vs 80k

[prime musk]

but UCLA vs USC is a valid argument for OOS

[noble willow]

usc is 91k now lmao

[prime musk]

rly??

[plush skiff]

WHAT?

[noble willow]

yeah

[plush skiff]

NOOOO

[wispy elbow]

is that the most expensive now

[prime musk]

I thought it was 82k

😭😭

[noble willow]

go on the website

[wispy elbow]

wasnt HMC

[noble willow]

nah

its 91k

[timid wigeon]

yeah prices are always skyrocketing

[plush skiff]

Thats tooooo much

Wtf

[noble willow]

they increased tutiton caue of InFlaTioN

[timid wigeon]

hollly fuck bro

even with nms

[plush skiff]

In Russia you can get 5 degrees for this price

Hahaha

[timid wigeon]

im prob not gonan go still

[grim shore]

yeah usc is pricy

[timid wigeon]

if i get in

[prime musk]

how much is just tuition tho

[noble willow]

Stanford and the other schools did that to

[grim shore]

even with nmf

[noble willow]

*too

[grim shore]

92k

[timid wigeon]

66k

[prime musk]

cuz UCLA tuition is 14k

DAMN

[grim shore]

Oh

[prime musk]

66k?!!

[timid wigeon]

for just tuition its 66k. so even with nms half tuition scholarship 33k is a lot id still pay 60k/yr

[grim shore]

My state school gives me a full ride and pays $6k on top of that

[languid echo]

yh

[timid wigeon]

ah ok

[noble willow]

in terms of ranking

[timid wigeon]

bro why do people want to go there so badly then 💀 so many of my engineering friends simp over usc its not even like amazingly good

[noble willow]

once u get to a certain point, the differnce between quality of CS in schools are negligible

[high pilot]

yeah i think it’s more of

[noble willow]

its just the rankings

[high pilot]

just the school like image and stuff

[twilit palm]

It also has a lot of resources and opportunities

[high pilot]

and student life rly good at USC and UCLA

[prime musk]

i hear UCLA engineering kinda not they best

[timid wigeon]

ah i guess being near the city of la is good lol

[noble willow]

yeah. Smaller class sizes too

i personally like that

[high pilot]

are like

[prime musk]
