carly can u pin this to show that short responses will not get u rejected!!!
i fweaking hate the shirts tho 😭
yes this is a good point lol
i had some other goofy ones
the viterbi ones are so annoying
if someone wears one they probs a grad student tho
my bf wants to internally transfer into viterbi and i’m so scared he’s gonna get the merch 😭
what if i put full house instead of real housewives
what school is he in rn
fucking SCA 💀
youre dating an sca kid??
technically it’s USC Games
games + cs??
but the current major is under SCA
he’s game design, wants to be CS+games
@ancient echo thoughts on dirnsife
i am a dornsife major lol
so it’s amazing
great place in general but u dont get access to all the stuff u would in viterbi marshall etc in terms of career
so like
would recommend taking it if ur planmning on minoring in another schools stuff
I’m doin bio tho
bro looking back at my USC app i should not have been accepted 💀
imo dornsife is what people think of when they say USC is #28 💀
like the specialized schools usually are pretty good but dornsife can get hectic (i started off as a dornsife major 😭)
valid tbh
ey bro top 30 is sick
my ideal roommate is a certain actress' daughter as well!!
put some respect on usc-chapel hill man
PLEASE
agweed, if were T30 with just our liberal arts school i think we’re pretty good
UNC 😩
if you really matched with usc culture you would not know jack shit about the programs but everything from varsity blues to frat rankings
eh i still argue we would have made t20 if they had used the methodologhy like every other ranking uses
esp with rush happening LMFAO
we climbed everywhere except usnews
ur not invbolved in greek right
nope
one of my closest friends is rushing rn and its so funny
the whole srat rush process seems funny
wait which ranking are u talking abt
its crazy
i dont get srat rush though mine is next week and im deadass j going to drink the entire week
pledging though 🫣🫣
that shit is scary
are niches rankings bad
i will literally only pledge if i get a bid from one of the 3-4 frats i know i will not mind pledging
some ppl say goated some ppl say ass
ion know what to think abt them no more
niche do it better because rankings are the worst way to look at a college education
bows and toes
groupme notifs
deliverables
wonder if they’ll change it next year to reflect that. At least we’re not dead in the dirt like NYU or g-d forbid Tulane 💀
already turned on ✅
HAHAHHA
forbes also i think
i have my suit next to me
i made sure to bring only the shitty suits and not anything good
yeah
we rose on those because things like class size starting salary etc we do v well on
oh yeah those are gonna get covered in beer and who knows what else
at the end of the day ranking sites don’t matter, i personally like the NYT one that lets you design your own ranking
idt im gonna make it im not a beer drinker
for me USC ranked 9 so i’d so it’s a good school for me and one i’m happy at :))
im a seltz/twea soft or hard liquer type
beer is actually so gross 😭 i do not understand how ppl be drinking it
Mikes 😩
i can drink it but its not my drink of choice
@brisk osprey apparently srat rush is a dry week 💀
oh yeah
drinking beer with a straight face is lowkey harder than a shot because at least the shot is 3 seconds
panhel takes that v seriously
panhel is the one that can disaffikliate
we need ifc affiliated bro im not treyna get actually tortured by KA
💀
I thought u were underage?
nah im 18
oop
or 21 according to my ID
nah 21 is just the age to buy alcohol
you can drink at 18 as long as its ina private setting
it is still a pain though because it means places where alc is sold like bars clubs etc u need to be 21
Graduating 92% of students, USC alumni go on to earn a starting salary of $53,800.
Graduating 92% of students, UCLA alumni go on to earn a starting salary of $44,500.
aight thats a win
damn i could have sworn USCs was higher?
old dat
a
also this is all of USC not marshall
yeah i guess that’s fair
just looked up, Marshall has 10th highest earning salary out of all unis 😏
Keck student
fuck it imma be a marshall student majoring in bio
are u fsh
Gojo Toji or Geto
That's what they said at my info session too
i’m a viterbi kid majoring in business
LMFAO rush is kinda hilarious
I’m twrms of?
I visited campus last night and my friend was like 😭 everyone is the same I wanna go home
my friend is a biochem major doing premed and minoring in entrepreneurship
keck -> marshall pipeline is very strong
p sure its j to scout the marshall boys but like
as is marshall -> annenberg
wait u can’t pure major bio?
😦
Nah I thought it would be more difficult
you can but shes a sadist who enjoys being tortured by orgo chem
I played myself FSH seems chill
u take 105a this sem?
chem i mean
I was Biochem to keck pipeline
do u recommend vertibi marshall or dornsife for bio tho fr
Not taking calc 3 if I’m never gonna go into engineering
my roommate took barakat shes supposedly v chill
Definitely not 💀
It was an Instagram post
bio is dornsife
loaf have u encountered Catherine Skibo
HELLL NO
💀
💀🔫🦫 she’s an absolute goon
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER BRO
Built like jabba the hut too
wait u can’t do it anywhere else?
shes infamous
That is not true lol
Last semester I asked her if I could come to lab in costume
jit is a 3rd year SCA student transfer and knows about a first year lab manager 😭
viterbi is engineering and marshall is the business school
on private property as long as ur supervised u can
iirc
If it's your parents
😭 why are yall debating this
no lol its fine as long as its not on sale premises
wait so u can’t pure bio anywhere but dornsife?
Not in Ohio at least
Idk about cali
correct
Drunk lime scooter racing is fine though
abhi freakin’ capperman69
im talking abou cali!
Oh yeah in California looks like you can weird
what
Surprising
you can minor in other schools! but you cant decide what school to be in with your major
no theres biology at dornsife but you have other majors as well. keck has some health stuff
but you can take minors in other schools
like my freiend is dornsife biochem taking entrepreneurship minor bc hinge isnt working for her appareently
and she wants to find marshall guys
just like me fr
wow so I rlly gotta do dornsife’s trash ass shitty ass nasty ass prompt then huh
😭😭
marshall guys aint all dat 🗣️
mhm, unless you decide to major under keck and do that instead
guys today i learned that USC was the 11th most applied to college in 2023 and of the top 10 most applied to, 7 are in california 💀
(transferring into marshlal thsi sem)
They have biological sciences
my personal red flag is that im into business bros
Basically the exact same
It's cause of the frat parties
thats not red flag bro dw ur just looking to network
It’s okay we out here like verstappen the red flags get us going
wait what does keck mean
I did dornsife and switched between like three schools already
that ain’t red, that’s vibrant shining crimson 😭
Just fuck it we ball
keck is our medical school, but it offers undergraduate majors too
we allow it when its kiley tho
🚨
on gosh 😩 UCSD was second and they rock the frat parties 😈
lmao wtf
uc socially dead LOL
ah ok
Bruh ik someone who goes to sdsu and their parties are crazy
didn’t sdsu greek life get banned 😭
People go to ucsd and party at sdsu
UCSD has better location but god damn sdsu goes hard
All the frats were on social probation
💀
Oh lol
another school for u usc affording gremlins is pepperdine
imagine partying so hard that even the fucking frat commission is like “aight let’s calm down”
fuck pepperdine
Isn't Pepperdine super Christian
no pepperdine campus is actually beautiful
location valid but everything else hell no
Pepperdine is so pretty
It’s hella Christian
f pepperdine it isn’t a real school and also afford usc? wdym
pepperdine is the zoey 101 school
no one can afford usc
90% of the student body screaming 'oh god' doenst make a place religious
But you are right up in Malibu
it’s 5 USCajillion dollars
the location is perfect
theres a few but its like barely there
BYU soaking would beg to differ
also campus is fucking gorgeous its a great safety
Yeah that's what I meant by super Christian lol
Wdym you can’t can’t get to anything
You are so far away
But it's on the beach
pepperdine is what people think usc is 😭 an LA rich kid school
I love how the usc prospective admission thread has become the current usc thread
For the majority of kids that don’t have cars 😭
be so fr if ur rich enough to go to pepperdine usc j ust zipcar LOL
tbf the actually usc threads are kinda dead 🤷♂️
Shhhh we just like talking
im j waiting for my friend sto fly back
Bring my Tesla
like literally all my friends are flying back today
that’s usc core
Most usc statement ever
all so real
either flyinhg back today or rushing rn
u gotta tell ur boss to let me in so I can be one of y’all 😦
swear we have the most yappers here
I flew back from Tokyo last night
of all unis
sure! my venmo is:
its how i got in
It's where the less smart la kids go who aren't quite rich enough to pay their way into USC
FOR REAL campus is so quiet rn

You always do this and nev r actually give your venmo 
outrageous that you would say something so damning yet true
McCarthy is full of gabbers 😩 i love it
i did two years ago bestie dw
i got denied mccarthy and i hate life for it
I have 36 cents with your name on it
😭 McCarthy is so loud
People doing the most for no reason
kiley do i join knights of troy 🙄
we need to make a flow chart for La schools
Are you rich?
yes.
Are you smart?
no.
Pepperdine
bro why half the ppl in here who r in usc still got the hs senior role
r u mccarthy no way
that’ll get me a quarter of a candy bar in la
Yes
i got in the sneaky way through NM
I have so many friends in knights LMFAO
You get the other 3/4 when I get accepted 😉
A quarter is generous
wait fr 😭
that’s what i’m saying. always up doing study circles 😭
neglect
what floor r u guys wtf
yeah it’s literally like a frat for people who dont want to be in frats + more sports
Lmfao my friend did a kegstand with a unicorn mask
i’m third
WAIT
me when i dont get a bid from a frat i wanted
I KNOW HIM
I’m fourth
Ofc you do
do you know cameron or bennett?
We also did the soju in the gym
Probably
i ❤️ them so much
where r u from lol
incredible gabbers, they know how to tea
Wait everyone says they're hs seniors but they're not 💀
I love everyone but like I stg I lose my sanity in that dorm
I'm the only real one here
I’m not trying to update my roles
That’s a lot of work
tbf if you look at the numbers at the end of names it makes it clearer 💀
also idk how to remove/add flairs
I'm not that smart
I’d bet you probably know me
Maybe I should go to Pepperdine instead
Or you’ve met me?
definitiely have LMFAO
Rich rich
Buy me a Porsche please
💀
Usc kids aren’t either it’s okay
i swera ive met like 99% of mccarthy kids 💀
Money spread
I’m a professional tapper
Yapper*
im a professional yapper fym
I gotta go sit in the sun
i swear i know u and can guess based on that if i do
on ur way to cali already gangy
It’s colder than a witches tit
Bro everyone knows me
La kids when it's 55 degrees out
100% chance you know me
aight lets leave it there LMFAO
Bro I felt warmer in snow
55 is shorts weather
the fuck???
bro 55 is naked weather and ull still be hot
stay inside and turn the ac on
I mean that works too
But I'm modest
bro if u wear shorts half way to boiling point ur fucked
Bruh 55 f 💀
FUCK
12.8 c
being from illinois and hearing my bf from texas complain about 55
like bitch, 55 is when we all going to the park
Has anyone else been getting hella updates in their USC financial aid portal lol since you submitted early
Like I swear they’ve had me submit like 10 documents
Which is especially annoying if I don’t get in lol
at usc you’re taught who to know not what to know
can’t have that over in the states
bro my moms conservative as shit
she gon be mad as hell when I come back from first year with dyed hair
wait this is fucking iconic
you’re gonna come back spouting blasphemy about inches and Tbsp
usc new motto?
fax i loved this one
it put usc and ucla and 1 and 2 respectively for me
i rock with tha
exactly, the list actually made sense to what i want it was micr
yall should've applied as gerontology maybe then will you get in
actually SC is like the #1 gerontology school 😭 it might make it harder
lmfao W
Mine just wrote back “I agree that is a good snack”
wym wrote back
They sent a card when I got accepted
oh ur not a senior
go change roleslol
dope
was that all they wrote 😭
lol wasn't last year the first cycle usc did ea? so what happened historically would just be last year?
would love a 1/12 decision though, hopefully that source saying next friday is true
some colleges don't announce like harvard just released REA without saying anything probably because they think they're the best
Idk it was really random
I was on a date and I got an email from usc 😭
Yeah I mean I’m pretty sure they have to write bs notes to all the kids in their region so it was like two sentences about my short answers
what did the email say?
oh huh interesting
do these notes get mailed to you?
well at least u got a note my ao just sent an email :/
Depends on ur ao. Ur regional AO normally does something. Some people get handwritten notes (i got a generic copy and pasted email)
i said flight food reviewer ❤️
ohhh yeah good point
Nah that was the “there’s been an update to your portal email”
I wasn’t expecting the decision to come out
Hell yeah
Im driving there rn
decisions for usc came out?
any1 down to review a supp of mine 🙏
talking about last year
had a heart attack reading this
lol my apologies
on the plane back to LA 😈
wait so did USC only do EA before?
they didn’t have ea before last year
Should I apply here as an out of state applicant 
i dont think usc considers state residency in decisions but i could be wrong
theyre a private school not a uc
when are ea desicions expected to come out again
midwest represent 🤩
OOS vs in state doesn’t matter
yes
For ea what are the chances they’re already basically done making decisions and reading apps, like is it worth to send updates?
I'm almost certain they're done
And if they're not done they won't consider an update this late
We don't know we have rumors of the 12th, 19th, and 23rd but no announcement has been made
theres a slight chance they havent finished probably
12th would be awesome honestly. i have a three day weekend so i have time to take in my rejection cuz usc was one of my top choices
Yeah 12th would be amazing
Someone said that their admissions counselor got an email that said the 12th but until we get a second confirmation I would assume it's going to be later
oh really. then ig ur right they are prob done reading it. damn. really hope that ea acceptance is a bit higher compared to last yr
Man I have fucked up my USC application ☠️☠️
Did they not let you change your aid?
That’s not the issue. I think it’s too late now
Not like my ass was gonna make the 6% or whatever ea AR
HAHA fair but that’s like almost all priv colleges now
True but USC is worst than most 😂
10 minutes from campus lesgo
lowkey usc kinda been good in my experience at least with the ppl i know
can someone corroborate 😭
I mean worse in price
Not experience
USC is my #1 🤞
Yoo no way
12th would be lit
Would give me time to process my usc deferral before my umich deferral on jan 27
i know lol i meant they usually pretty good for affordability at least from those i know
oh god ima have to mentally prepare myself if it's the 12th lmaoooo
I’m gonna ask my counselor again on monday cuz idkkk
Does USC actually meet 100% of demonstrated need
@steady olive who said the thing abt their counselor
I think @polar lichen
My guess is something got lost in translation and they meant next Friday meaning the 19th
Original
though we do only have last year to go off of
wait what
my counselor just responded to my email very vaguely 😭 but yeah false alarm
“USC has said it will be the 19th” is all he said
ohh ok
do yk what time
ahh thats gonna be 20th my time
We have to pay for the css profile for each school?
My friend who's a tour guide said expect 19th
sameee
chat is this real?
Will students receive denial letters in the Early Action (EA) round?
No, no one will receive a denial letter in January. Students who are not admitted early will be given the chance to defer their application for consideration in the Regular Decision round. We expect that 75-80 percent of the class will be admitted Regular Decision.
75-80?
nvm I can't read lmfao
what does that mean
I thought it meant for those eferred that a lot of them were in but it just means most of them are RD
which makes sense
yea their ea acceptance last year was like 6%
if u get deferred does that mean no merit aid??
yo guys i havent started the essays any tips yuh
Yes. You need to be admitted ea for merit scholarship consideration (unless ur a NMF)
any update on when we are likley to receive EA decisions?
My friend who is a tour guide very heavily suggested to expect the 19th
alright, thank you!
I’ll be the first ever USC applicant to be rejected in EA 👌👌
what have you applied for
I have applied to Marshall
same here
Proud of you!!
i heard it is very competitive
That’s like almost all bizz school mate
USC is dif bro, i see yt vids were ppl get brown, UCB and get rejected USC
anyways, lets hope for the best
I think it’s more with USC being very random with their acceptances lol
true, luckily we always have a chance w RD
lol I doubt I have a chance but anyways
yea but theres equally as many ppl who get rejected from fucking state unis and get accepted to usc
ok maybe not that bad but get the idea
journalism lol
Valid way of representing usc haha
like you said, its random - you never know
Bro using my own words against me
should've applied law instead
Lesser competition for me. Go ahead 😂
you are a true business man, but i am slighly better
I hope AO’s at usc are reading this. Pls consider this another EC
Nah bro flipped 😭😭
using your own words against you pt2
Smartass
wats nmf?
national merit finalist
ggs
ohhh tyy
the same way every other college perceives us
intl so garbage
I swear
jus another opprtunity to make money for them 😔
how is IB treating you
25% merit scholarship with 40 prediction lol
U WERE IB????
will our final exams even matter as much? considering we are given an offer earlier
yes
yes.
no i hard ditched LOL
wait wtf
but u need above 5s in HLs to transfer in credit
u didnt get rescinded?
not ditched but i didnt study forshits lol
thats my game plan too rn, 0 motivation lmao
does usc not care abt low ib scores?
how much did you get in your finals
like 38 LOL
was this on 42 or 45?
At least in predictions 38 is low asf
the avg predicted in my grade was 32
well yea ok its not great for predictios but u got it for final
for final its good
i got my above 5s in al subjets
so i transferred with 24 credits into usc (you need 128 to graduate and complete around 32 each year)
again, depends on wether it is on 42 or 45. my school only gives our PGs on 42
jus ask ur tok teacher to give u a prediction
based on ur exhibition
dats what i did
ofc u have to make it more official by talking to ur counsellor n all dat
nah they dont predict for us, dumb school policy. plus i would prefer they dont do that 💀
What’s that like in (out of) 100% terms lol?
45 is da max
but dont be fooled
if u translate dat into gpa
it kinda looks ass
but 38 ib is very good
Y’all can’t give a straight answer 😭
38 ib is ass LOL
bc ib isnt converted
ib is ib
u cant ask for a conversion
stop.
I mean like putting it into context bruh
STOP
i got in with 25% merit with a 40 predicted!
look at this from University of Oregon
its not pasting fsr
but they consider a 6
a b+
what is like the minimum percentage avg ivies would take
thatll make it easier
ib si weird bro bc 45 is 4.0 technically but 44 is like 3.98, 43 is like 3.91
dats my own estimation might be cap might not be
no
multiple ppl have gotten in with 37s
tbh as long as ur at least 37 ur prolly good bro
anything 40+ should be a 4 bro
obv better activities and essays will make up for it
literally
Ifu wanna convert
7 is like an A/A+
6 is like an A-
5 is like a B+
4 is like a B-
3 is like a C
2 and 1 atp youre not getting into usc
but this is a rough conversion not what anyone anywhere uses
it just givers you a mental idea
i wish the UCs cosnidered it like this
and then like core is core
Somebody has applied to Berkeley lol
uc gpa 💀
@ancient echo do u think rescindences are more likely for big drops or just drops far below what thyed expect
let a dude dream
like for ex if u get predicted a 45 and drop to 39 ur still in "top school" range but would they rescind for such a big drop
what do you think was the best part of your app
ecs essays stats lors
idts, i havent rly come across anyone who faced this.
Bruh UC applications were so extensive, I didn’t bother to apply 😭😭
i luckily did them first, and replicated their essays for all my other colleges
Yo good question what the fuck
i think last year I saw someone in #👻-the-medium-place who had kind of a big drop (don't remember how much exactly sorry) and didn't get rescinded but got a warning like thing from Dartmouth
so ur more likely to get rescinded if u go from 39 to 35 because 36 is kinda outta range
nope
bro if i get a warning imma fucking write them the best apology letter ever
they wont accept any other apologies after seeing da one i write
a guy in my school went from 38-35 and still attended UPenn
omfg
YOO?
WTF
bros essays were mad 😭
or he founded nasa
Guys tbh it’s all taken into account like you need to have a solid profile for all of these
nah, his ECs were crazy. I was lost in his resume
yeah but something needs to stand out right
yeah the wait is the worst part
REAL
What chances does a person with 2.4 , 1200 and barely any EC’s stand? 😎😎😎
harvard safety
say goobye gangy
right
That’s what I have done rn
What might stand out is some very impressive extracurricular or an amazing essay
nah but if those r ur stats u can kiss college goodbye
oh is usc coming out
its fucking gap year for u
usc coming out tomorrow nighbt lol
I wouldn’t worry about test scores standing out tbh as long as u have a good enough score you’ll be fine
do colleges rly care about 9th grade grades? like i know they do to some extent but will a few Bs and Cs affect your application if you signficanly improved later?
apparently the snake charmer guy was actually a frosh at USC 
Funny cause I already did get admission 😭😭😭
Ngl that’s not ideal
ur laying it on him too nicely
what's an impressive ec according to you
Chill bro we cool 😭
Growth is more important. If you have better grades later you will prob be ok
u got accepted to usc alr?
y'all need to realise that not everybody gets a 4.0 and 1500+
my fault gangy
dude yea ofc but hes asking in the context of usc
oen of the top schools
No no… others lol
hes cooked
I mean it rly depends I’m no an AO so I couldn’t say
what u study here
u cant sugar coat it
😭
SAT issa scam
ohhhh
But stuff like leadership is good to have
Computer science
bay area asian cs?
Somebody got scammed
Yep
fuck the english section
My SAT was horrible but I was fucking ill while doing it so let’s give that a pass. (I have submitted)
💀
True 🤷
what math u taking this sem lol
thast tuff. i didnt even submit mine. I hope IB covers up
I’m literally in my 225 lecture rn
i was meant to take 225 this sem but the prof ratings were so ass im taking it over summer at cc and transferring it
What was yours if you don’t mind. At least I’ll know if I am fucked before hand for submitting
i asked according to you lol
he said leadership
pc
Research, leadership involving a good number of people, something you’ve been passionate about for a longggg time and it shows, etc
ah
but like
im deadass boutta fail 😭
will they give me the green light or tell me to fuck myself
nah youre good
OH FR?
bro so all i gotta do
is jus
not literally get a stroke while sitting the final exams
the only solution
Nah, I'll win.
Me after attending usc for one year
WTF LMFAOOOOO
did you apply ea?
nope
ohh i applied ea and i also had extentuating circumstances that tanked my midyear grades but idk where i would explain it if i got deferred 😭
i was only able to explain for my RD schools cuz this circumstance happened after EA deadline
did u give a lot of explanation of ur circumstances in the additional info section
Wait can u get deferred and get merit aid
Cuz don’t they defer like a huge percentage
Only if you qualify for the national merit finalist
Otherwise no
aur okay
By any chance is getting a lot of updates on the USC financial aid portal an indication of admission lol
Or would they do that to everyone
No
Finaid and application are separate
i havent got like a single email from usc
since like i submitted the agreement for something
a few days after submitting
That’s normal I believe
😭 guys there’s no magical signs on any of the college portals
Unfortunately
I mean………… there’s
❓
USC killed him before he could reveal their secrets
when will usc ea come out?
19th
So if my stats are higher than the admitted from past years, I'm totally in right? lol
Woo Hoo. I'll start packing.
why y’all getting so pressed over the decision date 😭
Oh, damn. How bout if I join the rew team?
Cause we're excited to see if we get in??
LMFAO
xSkeletor will NOT be getting admitted than 💀
yeah but yall arguing 😭
Let's make a betting pool
should i worry if USC didnt request IDOC for me
im pretty positive its because of the legal dependency issue for css i had
but after submitting the correction form which was last week i havent gotten any updates
why is the class '27 info on this? https://admission.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/first-year-student-profile.pdf
but the dates are for this year's class
Because they don't have the data for this year yet
Damn yall are blowing up our emails and phones lmfao
hey @brisk osprey ! the fin aid deadline is jan 15 but im having issues with the FAFSA. it's ok to submit after the deadline right?
Are you an EA applicant? I would still try to get it done ASAP but since there were issues with FAFSA this year I bet they will be a bit more lenient
yeah ea
whenever i log in to FAFSA it says not currently available atm
maintenance should be done on the form by now…i’m not sure why its saying that on your end
how long did it take for y'alls fafsa id to be approved or whatever
You can always contact the fin aid office directly if you wanna double check
kiley should i worry if usc didnt request IDOC even after submitting my css correction form
not everyone needs to use IDOC
if they need it though they will have collegeboard email you
my parents were worrying abt it, so but ic
wdym approved?
again you can call the fin aid office if you wanna double check :))
literally rn lol
yeah idk what to tell ya thats a FAFSA issue not us lmao
they said they received my css correction form, but thats abt it so i think its fine but last time i called the financial office i waited for almost an hour and a half so idk
time to email both FAFSA and usc
if they received your correction you should be fine. I wouldn’t worry!
got it. ty. also i was wondering is 19th confirmed as the date?
The public will be notified about our decision date soon via social media and our website :)
alright ty!
when you first create the fafsa acc you have to have your social sec number approved or smth
@steady olive the fin aid team at USC said they do not have any financial aid documents from my side anyways deadass. I think they don’t even check the CSS so I kinda might be safe…
i completed the fafsa and included usc in it but it says that the fafsa has not been received yet for usc FAST
when did you complete fafsa? there's a delay
like yesterday lol
lol my skl does a straight conversion of ib to gpa by dividing 6
our gpa is poop
y'all have gpas?
Us moment
That's exciting
pls usc accept my sis
im not your sis but thanks 🙏
Suddenly feeling like this guy’s sis today
ahahaha
usc accept everyone on this discord yall deserve it
frr haha
alas football season is over
dang usc rly do got baddies
it makes me not wanna go 😭 dislike party culture ngl just applied bc i like cali and bc of national merit
the girls r so pretty though
ong
Pls come out 19th
usc isn't all party culutre!! Keep in mind whoever made that video went specifically to frat row to get content and that vid is showcasing only one lifestyle of a usc student
You can definitely avoid partying if you want to
Is there a party scene outside of greek life?
thats awesome to know! im mainly worried bc ive heard usc has a shallow culture in general but im hoping thats not the case 😭
def!! there r orgs that throw parties
Also some of the frats without a house throw parties which are normally more chill than the frats on the row
Does anyone actually know anyone who got in during ea last year cuz deadass my friend got into Harvard and Stanford last year and got deferred by usc ea 💀
Cuz like atp what r they even looking for 😭
yea hella. you realize esp after fresh year that LA has a ton of opps to go around just as a city and those tend to be hella fun
frow always throws and is closest and most convenient
😭 I got in ea I think plenty of people die
Did
But yeah my friend that got into Yale get deferred -> rejected by usc
Nvmind I stand proven wrong
That ea rate is crazy tho Omg 😭
EA is literally 5%…
Yeah that’s not too bad
Yeah
I mean the EA round gives out scholarships to I think it was 90% of the kids that got interviews? And then the ones that didn’t get interviewed got half or quarter tuition
So it makes sense in a way
^
I am committed to NU for ED and I think I’m going to withdraw all my apps now as soon as it’s finalized, but this school is like close right? If they’ve already finished deciding I’m curious to see but obv I would never wanna take a spot EA from anyone
since I’m not going
itll be later this month
like around the 20th
wait wdym by this
did they send out interviews for ea??
they havent
well they did for wbb and iya
what??? usc iya alr sent out emails??
tbh im assuming
i didnt apply iya
uhm r u sure
ohh ok
did anyone apply to annenberg 🙏🏼
are these scholarships
theyre like special programs
wbb is world bachelors in business
ohhh
and iya is iovine and young academy
only for scholarships after you get in ea i think
ohhh gotcha
can you like
just get in ea and not be considered for other scholarships if u already have national merit
or is everyone who gets in ea considered for other/usc-related scholarships
i think im not too sure about how the scholarship thing works
i think they are considered
icic
this is what i picture in my dreams every night
my new wallpaper
this is my wallpaper
so real
i alternate between this and weezer pinkerton album art
bros glazing usc
since the age of 6
guys is USC transferring hard and stuff or is it kind of easy
also does transferring to a "competitive" major make it substantially difficult likeit is with like UCLA for example
yes!!
yeah
if i alr did the wbb interview do i have to do the scholarship one?
i do right? since it's different
yes I'd think
it’s lowk easy what i heard
to switch into engineering you just need to take some preengineering courses get like a 3.7 gpa for those courses and you’re good to transfer
cs you need to take one more class
business is a similar thing to engineering
sca might have some transfer limitations but idk
but overall it’s that private school diff
you can switch
usc ily
then thats free just go to the like the school of jounralism or sum
they have like a 60 percent acceptance rate
nah annenberg as hard as the rest of the schools
is annenberg the only school that doesn't have supps tho
- where did you get this number from
- usc is one of the top journalism schools in the country so its very likely the applicants are distinguished in journalism already lol so that could play a major role like people with cs ecs applying to annenberg just bcuz its less competitive def arent getting in lol
marshall also doesn’t
hey!! I transferred into usc feel free to dm me with any questions :)
no it isn't
i think they meant transferring within schools
oh yeah thats the other option but idt USC has like a partner with CC's right?
OHHHHHHH
I mean it doesn't matter tbh I am just happy to go there so anyway is possible
where'd you get the 60% stat
hahah yes usc mostly takes California cc students
i did annenberg btw so
I forgot where but people r saying that Anneberg is not competitive compared to the other majors
is it that hard to get accepted as a transfer?
acceptance rate is like 24%
isnt ea 6% lmao
kiley out of cuiriosity why did you transfer
and where did you go before?
I didnt get in the first time and USC was my dream school
UArizona for a year :)
ooh okay really cool that it worked out
but like when you transfer they ask you why you transfer and stuff right
did you put that down or just general stuff like good alumni network and better programs and stuff
Mhm!! Thats basically our commonapp essay
ahhh okay
did you only apply as a transfer to usc or did you do other schools as well
All of the above. I was REALLY specific with my essays
but remember I graduated during covid and my year was the first year test optional
so there were like twice the number of kids applying than ever before
ahhh fair
would you recommend the transfer experience? like not for usc just in general
Only USC. My first application round I only applied to USC and UArizona soooo
bcuz my logic is that if i alr settle down in one place i dont wanna like change everything again yk? but i also dont wanna give up on my dream school
oh thats fair
Absolutely!! If you are not happy where you are and you think u would be happier somewhere else do it
was it easy to settle in at usc as a transfer
like could you find a roommate and make friends quickly and stuff
what program did u transfer into?
maybe im thinking of it from a hs perspective like we already have defined friend groups and everything and if a new kid comes in they'll be a bit of an outcast
if ur ok with saying
there were a lot of other factors too. I didn’t really like my friend group, the area, the program as much as I did for USC. So imo it might not be worth it to just “not give up on your dream school” if you are genuinely happy at your other choice
the great thing about USC is that like 15-20% of the undergrad pop are transfers. So there were a TON of people who were brand new looking for friends/roommates etc
can you transfer in at any time? sophomore junior senior?
I’m a theatre major, snd I was a theatre major at my other school :))
Yup!! So it honestly didnt feel like a new experience. There were a LOT of people that I knew from highschool etc.
yeah in that case its fair
Either sophomore or junior. You have to have at least 2 years at your new school
i come from india so for me no matter where i go itll be like a completely new setting so i just dont think i'd want to have another big change in just a year but also its nice to keep my options open
ohh ok tyy!
i love how im just asusming i wont get into my dream schools lol 💀
awww this is great
ok yeah that makes sense
Thats totally understandable!!
can transfers live on campus or no?
Try not to think about it tbh. I’m of the mindset that everything happens for a reason :))
Hi Kiley, what do you like most about USC?
wait a 4 yr school?
transfers are not guaranteed housing
it wasn't a CC?
correct
sorry for the barrage of questions but why do you think you got in transfer but not first year? are transfers evaluated differently or did you just present a better and more refined application?
does usc generally still give good financial aid to transfers
def def!! already got into a few safeties/targets i think i'd love attending so im optimistic for the rest of this cycle
A mixture of both I think lol
The people!! I was nervous everyone would be cutthroat at vying for the top, but everyone genuinely wants to help each other and see each other succeed. That includes the alumni network!
why am i already thinking of transferring when i didn't even get my decisions yet💀
Both. I honestly can’t tell you why I was denied first year, but I can confidently say it wasn’t grades/GPA, ecs, test scores etc. I honestly think that there were just way to many qualified applicants my year (back to the test optional thing) and not enough spaces
jan 19th is confirmed for ea notification date! according to usc admissions insta
omg
me fr
yeah thats def fair
RAHHHHHHH TIME TO GO CRAZY
UGH I WISH WE HAD A TIME I NEED A !USC COMMAND TO SPAM
my ass gonna get deferred anyway but who cares
does major/schools choice impact decisions?
They’re all be out by 5pm pst
is that a "decisions by" time or "decisions at" time
You are admitted based off of your major yes
By! They’re rolling
Yes
thats to make sure our servers dont crash
hope public policy works out!!!!! if i get into my second choice major (dornsife sociology) can i transfer into price?
So PLEASE wait until you get the email to check
Yes! Price is very easy to transfer into
do you happen to know if they admit for second-choice major in ea?
@sinful sphinx since kiley works in the admissions office, is this solid proof enough to have a !usc command
You are automatically considered for both choices, so yes they can
yay! i met with a admissions rep from price and it's truly an amazing school
- does major impact scholarship? like do they have quotas like 5 viterbi trustee scholars, 2 from annenberg etc?
- there'll be no info about scholarships in the acceptance letter right?
ohhh i never knew that
^^^ asking the real questions
As far as I am aware major does not impact scholarship. There will be info in the acceptance letter! You will either be admitted EA and eligible to interview for a scholarship or you will be deferred to RD
I’ll send a long FAQ on the 19th that’ll have a lot of information hehe
