THANK YOU!!!

[dense junco]

Indeed

[dense junco]

Congrats, this was also my top choice

[cedar dock]

Nope! Not a single school I'd choose over it! 💙

[open silo]

CONGRATS!!!! i hope you have an amazing time at usc <333

[cedar dock]

WOOO! Ride or die Trojans!!!

[dusky elbow]

congrats yall!!

[cedar dock]

THANK YOU!!

[open silo]

[misty current]

bump the marching band playlist today

[dusky elbow]

i hope my brother gets in in 2 years🤞🤞

[quaint arrow]

how come what do u like ab it

[misty current]

like

rlly get into it lol

[quaint arrow]

dyk how the money is cus its so expensive i heard

[jaunty isle]

anyone that got in usc cs can i know your stats 🙏🙏🙏

[misty current]

imo its not bad i'm only here bc of aid

[cedar dock]

OOh, where!

[misty current]

vs ucsd

[quaint arrow]

dang this is like the one college i know nothing abt and its the only one that took me so dar

how much aid did u get

[misty current]

enough to where it was like a few k's

[quaint arrow]

to go????

thats sick asf

[misty current]

no vs what ucsd gave me lol

[quaint arrow]

OH LOL

i was finna say

so far ive only got into uminnesota and idk how much money theyre giving me yet

[misty current]

i figured the diff between usc recruiting and sports would be fine to pay a couple extra k's

which was the right choice

[quaint arrow]

wdym

[misty current]

like

my family is super college sporty

so i knew i wanted a school with strong athletics

ideally

[quaint arrow]

ohhhh

[misty current]

so this is a great place to be for that

like i could have went to men's volleyball tn if i wanted to they're number 7 in the country

tomorrow there's basketball

[quaint arrow]

do u think i could leverage competing for their powerlifting to get money if i am at a high level

like scholarshup

or no cus its a club only

[misty current]

idk if they have lifting in the t&f

you'll have to do research on your own

[quaint arrow]

okok

[misty current]

actually lifting isn't in t&f right

so i wouldn't think so

unfortunately

[quaint arrow]

whats t&f💔

[misty current]

lemme find the uh

gold standards

[misty current]

track and field

LOL

[quaint arrow]

OHH YEAH

nah nah its not

its sbd squat bench deadlift

and typically in usapl league not an ncaa sport

[misty current]

ye figures

[misty current]

https://open.spotify.com/album/2cJu1mmhZYEpNmjgryiaCK pretty good start @cedar dock

[quaint arrow]

did u get the money from aid + scholaeship?

[misty current]

yep

mostly merit

[quaint arrow]

yikes idk how much of that ill get💀

[misty current]

but your case will be diff obviously

lmao you just have to wait

don't full pay to go here obv

[quaint arrow]

lmao yeah

[misty current]

but if the diff is like

[quaint arrow]

im not ballin like that so ill prolly get aid

[misty current]

25k ish like my case

plus i shave off a year vs at ucsd

no contest

[quaint arrow]

that’s sick

[round lake]

So how did USC go for everyone?

[misty current]

mass deferrals

lol

[urban mauve]

Deferred

[quaint arrow]

yeah im not applying to any schools in my state so itll be costly either way

[misty current]

but some peeps got in

[quaint arrow]

shockingly accepted

i havent passed a spanish final since freshman year

[misty current]

well

could very much be lady luck in your case

no one knows

[quaint arrow]

God blessing me up🙏🙏

[misty current]

tbh i've always felt like i ended up where i should have yk

like i was just as scared for college as yalls

or like apps yk

but everything has just kind of fallen into place

here

[cedar dock]

Los Angeles is a big part of it, as is the chance to see the olympics, but its one of very few schools that offers both a really strong film program and a really strong business program, coupled with a strong amount of individualized attention through the capped major count, and exclusive internship opportunities heavily focused within my desired niche (the entertainment/amusement industry). Plus, USC's student body spirit is strong, the weather is consistently some of the best in the country, the trojan network is the strongest in the country for my niche, and I'm already guaranteed at least a decent chunk of merit aid

[misty current]

grateful trojan ✌️

[misty current]

yo you must be bca if you're referencing film + business right

[cedar dock]

REAL, yes!

[cedar dock]

I am!

[misty current]

hype

[cedar dock]

ACTUALLY wait hold on

[cedar dock]

TYY!

It still feels surreal to actually say this with certainty

USC and BCA have been my one aspiration since the start of sophomore year

[misty current]

wow that's crazy

i didn't know this school was a thing until like

summer before senior year

💀

and i live in california

[quaint arrow]

oooh this is s lot that’s really interesting

[misty current]

i meannnnnn he's right

they're right*

[analog mesa]

😭 same

[cedar dock]

And that's just scratching the surface lmao!

[analog mesa]

only reason ik about usc was bc of hsf

[misty current]

based

[cedar dock]

LMAOO

And look at you now 🥹

[misty current]

yeah lol it's crazy

[analog mesa]

what are the odds that usc financial aid is cooked for me 😭

[misty current]

probably pretty cooked

[analog mesa]

...

[misty current]

someone linked the npc earlier

[analog mesa]

scholarship interviwes are sent out end of jan right

[misty current]

but chances are if u don't get substantial merit aid it would be better roi to go somewhere else

not sure

[analog mesa]

odds that it costs less than 25k

im assuming very low

[misty current]

dude idk your financial situation you tell me lmao

[analog mesa]

tution is like 65k right?

[misty current]

here?

[analog mesa]

yeah

[misty current]

in my dreams

💀

[analog mesa]

uhhh

[misty current]

think it's like 80k

[analog mesa]

nono not coa

like tution

[misty current]

yeah uh

hate to break it to you

[analog mesa]

no way

is tution 80k???

[misty current]

oh actually it's 70k :)))))

[analog mesa]

...

oh ok

[misty current]

but then when you add like the required fees and stuff

its p much 80k

[analog mesa]

hmmm ok

[misty current]

if you're bca you'll fs be in the same spot at LEAST

like you'll be chilling with the ops that program has

plus the olympics as well

in 28

[cedar dock]

Oh? Which spot is that?

[cedar dock]

OH yeah definitely!!

[misty current]

no meaning like

everything is good

very little to complain about

i mean bc there always is something

[cedar dock]

It lowkey feels like, if you can take advantage of the resources, and you fit the niche of the program, it might as well be ivy-level

[misty current]

but small things

nah higher than that

sca is top 1 film school

marshall is up there for undergrad

[cedar dock]

Cuz like... the resources offered at BCA for specifically BCA students is unmatched anywhere else in the country

They had the CEO of netflix come in for a casual guest seminar

[misty current]

oh yeah believe me ik what's going on at marshall

pete carroll is also here

but ye mega congrats to u

again

[cedar dock]

And John M. Chu🤭

[cedar dock]

THANK YOU!!!

[cedar dock]

Lowkey I like

[misty current]

and like a gazillion other filmmakers

george lucas

!

[cedar dock]

Need to find a way into the Wicked 2 early screening tho

[misty current]

when's that coming out

i only keep up with some sda things

like the play kiley/quinn are doin

[cedar dock]

The movie is November 21st, and the early screening for wicked 1 was like 3 weeks in advance

[iron bramble]

My bestie

[cedar dock]

REAL

[iron bramble]

Pete Carroll is also bestie

[misty current]

it's funny i've probably seen them before

like in person

[cedar dock]

I can't decide between theater or musical theater as my minor 😭

[misty current]

but im just here online with my

bunny pfp

yapping

[misty current]

whats the diff? is it thornton classes

[cedar dock]

As you should!

[cedar dock]

One of them is Acting + Playwriting, the other is Acting + Singing

I already know I'm planning on taking 3 screenwriting courses as my three SCA electives, so the singing courses might be beneficial added variety

[misty current]

wow you have this laid out

respect

[cedar dock]

But I really want to end up in SDA's voice acting class by senior year, and the theater minor offers more flexibility for hitting the prereqs

[cedar dock]

LMAO thank you 😭

It's been how I've pushed through this past school year

[misty current]

and now

u made it

[wooden pine]

Did any of you guys know usc is now adding early decision round for business and account majors only, starting for juniors

Lucky them

[misty current]

wat

wait wait

next year they add ed for marshall/leventhal?

[wooden pine]

Yep they are doing a test pilot

[cedar dock]

Huh?

[wooden pine]

For business and accounting

[misty current]

whoa i need to ask some b school friends

if it's true

i would caution it tho bc

[wooden pine]

It is true it sounds like, they are announcing it in a few weeks

[misty current]

wow ok

[wooden pine]

Probably to get yield higher

[cedar dock]

Oh damn...

[misty current]

interesting interesting

[cedar dock]

https://www.instagram.com/thecollegenavigators/reel/DE8QMTDPYP1/

[misty current]

i mean it's marshall so fair game to them

ig

[dusky elbow]

Omg no way

[wooden pine]

Well I ED’d another school and got in, but if usc had ED I would have done it oh well

[cedar dock]

8% acceptance rate 🥹

[dusky elbow]

my brother is gonna eat this shit up

[cedar dock]

SAME

[dusky elbow]

texting him Rn

[wooden pine]

Where did u ed?

[cedar dock]

No

OH WAIT SORRY

[wooden pine]

What lmao

[cedar dock]

I just meant same to the second part

[wooden pine]

Ohh haha

Did you get into usc?

@cedar dock

[misty current]

you couldn't tell

from the username?

lol

[wooden pine]

Well some people do that just to manifest

So never know on here

Congrats

[cedar dock]

YES

[wooden pine]

What was your stats if u don’t mind me asking

[cedar dock]

uhh 1550 SATs, 4.0 UW Gpa, 5.8 W GPA, 10 AP's, 18 DEs, and the IB Diploma

[wooden pine]

Damn alright haha

[misty current]

jesus that's a bazillion times better than mine

[wooden pine]

I wonder if I had gotten in, we will never know 🤷‍♂️

[misty current]

oh did u ed

somewhere?

[wooden pine]

Yeah BU

Boston U

I didn’t wanna take the risk then be screwed

[sand anvil]

what major

[wooden pine]

Business

[wooden pine]

Wait I remember u

[unreal mica]

I haven’t heard this…what’s your source?

[cedar dock]

Sorry 😭

[wooden pine]

College counselors all over instagram keep posting it

[sand anvil]

huh what

[unreal mica]

Private college counselors?

[wooden pine]

Yes

[wooden pine]

From the BU chat I remember u

[unreal mica]

……right

[sand anvil]

oh wait yea u in that server

[misty current]

i was going to say

[wary galleon]

Deferred from eng :/ i feel hopeless ngl

[misty current]

it seems a bit off somehow

[wooden pine]

What does? ED usc?

[misty current]

ye

just bc i haven't heard any rumors on the street

[unreal mica]

as far as I’m aware there hasnt been any discussion about that, and it definitely doesnt make sense for only one college to do ED instead of the whole uni

[wooden pine]

All I heard from them is that they are announcing it in a few weeks, I could be wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised because so many schools do ED now and they wanna get their yield up, plus they are all businesses so they want their money

[misty current]

ye but only marshall/leventhal??

[wooden pine]

It was bc of a test cycle to see

[misty current]

that's what i don't get

[wooden pine]

Yes for just a test cycle. Then I’d assume more

[unreal mica]

dont trust everything you see on instagram bud

[misty current]

i mean the only reason i could see

the marshall dean is ex wharton

[wooden pine]

I know haha I’m not believing until they post a statement obviously

[misty current]

so he could be trying to turn usc into it for like yields

wise

[wooden pine]

But either way doesn’t affect me, wish they had it this year kinda

[misty current]

which tbf since he took over in 19 marshall has only climbed the rankings

so he's doing something right

[unreal mica]

even then though Marshall doesnt review apps??? unless its like WBB/BCA/ cohort based majors

[misty current]

but that just seems like the wrong way to do it

ye bc you're admitted to usc first right

[dense junco]

Were you ever a tour guide by any chance?

[misty current]

it goes through sample hall anyways

not marshall

[unreal mica]

I swear if you tell me I was your tour guide

[dense junco]

Haha you were I think

[unreal mica]

BYE

[misty current]

no way

we rlly need to do

[wary galleon]

has anyone gotten deferred and then accepted in rd? or referral is a road to rejection.

[misty current]

a2c meetup

[unreal mica]

lots of people!!!

deferral =/= denial

[unreal mica]

apparently I’ve already met some of yall 💀

[wary galleon]

omg i need to know how! they said no additional info should be submitted, i was hoping i could submit for lors and grades even LOCI

[misty current]

ye they won't look

[unreal mica]

please do not send us any info

[misty current]

when u defer 38k students imagine trying to go through all the locis

they won't

[unreal mica]

its literally just because of sheer volume

[misty current]

[misty current]

[dense junco]

[dense junco]

[quaint arrow]

say ong.

[misty current]

i didn't go but my folks went

they said it was decently insightful esp because i did all the research and stuff while they were mostly in the dark about why i wanted to go

from the looks of it you get a pretty good overview of everything usc

[misty current]

1 hr from campus. more than close enough if you make it a 5 day trip or something

longer then you could hit all 3 days

[digital bear]

Wow chem

[warped bramble]

time to minor in GIS 😉

business major and minor in gis go hard

[misty current]

is that annenberg

[warped bramble]

I think dornsife

[misty current]

[trail mica]

Wait if usc doesn’t admit by major how do they do it

[cedar dock]

It's only an hour???

Omg

[fierce valley]

usc or uiuc cs?

[civic moat]

wait.. maybe i should do this

i wanna look at usc study abroad first tho

[misty current]

depends on lots of things

[misty current]

maybe give it like 1.5hrs if imperial valley traffic sucks

but my roommate is leaving for this weekend to head down there so no problem practical wise

[cloud elbow]

[nova hamlet]

????

[warped bramble]

Okay jiayao

[cloud elbow]

womp womp

[river geyser]

the confidence an acceptance from a sub 10% ar school gives is wild

[scarlet matrix]

fascinating

i got usc and changed out of uchicago ED2 haha

[cloud elbow]

...

[scarlet matrix]

interested to see someone with the exact opposite take

[cloud elbow]

:/

[warped bramble]

Lmao exactly the same

[nova hamlet]

for real

[scarlet matrix]

i love uchicago too thought its a brilliant school

[nova hamlet]

a2c try not to be toxic 💀

[cloud elbow]

bro

[civic moat]

i didnt apply to u chicago bc some people say its where the fun goes to die

and i really like having fun

[cloud elbow]

uchicago is my life

[scarlet matrix]

yeah the social life culture is a little questionable at times! it’s very much a nerdy community but that tends to be quite cool

[cloud elbow]

da goat

uchicago is the place where fun starts

😉

[nova hamlet]

interesting

[warped bramble]

I lowk think depending on your major usc would give you better opportunities than uchicago

[cloud elbow]

physics

i am going to be broke

[warped bramble]

Eh other way around lil bro

[cloud elbow]

:/

[civic moat]

are you sure

lets rethink this abhi

[warped bramble]

But I was looking at 2029 uchicago admit page on insta and they’re straight baddies on that page so I might reconsider tbh

[civic moat]

but i need a wide range of people

i enjoy being surrounded by absolute nerds but also enjoy being surrounded by degenerates

usc has been p great for that

[warped bramble]

Uchicago baddies > usc baddies?

the whole ||cheating|| subplot was not necessary and made me not like yuri

[civic moat]

dae is wayy too nice i think him and eunice were perf

[glass python]

they’re cute together

but also kitty annoys me lol

[civic moat]

also like in that scene there wasn't much chemistry like if ur gonna cheat at least do it good

[civic moat]

yes def

[civic moat]

i love celeb gossip so i hope i do

[glass python]

praying for mooncovey endgame

[civic moat]

i thought stellas plot was gonna be more interesting tbh

like she was just a bullied church girl i thought it would be smth cool

she had so much potential

[glass python]

i thought she was gonna be more ||evil||

[civic moat]

no honestly like the phone call in the bathroom made her sound so horrible

and then u find out ts its like what who even cares

[tulip ice]

Well there’s a lot of celeb children gossip

[digital bear]

Whats this building

[misty current]

the big one

[digital bear]

The big one is crazy

[misty current]

phillips hall

yo if you're on campus at like 2

actually nvm thats weird

[quaint arrow]

wait i heard there are acceptance packages is that a thing

[misty current]

yes

[quaint arrow]

when do u get them and do u gotta commit first

[misty current]

1. probably in the next 2 weeks depending on where u are
2. no

[quaint arrow]

woah cool

whats in it is it just like a letter

[tulip ice]

School of education

[errant mirage]

the way i spent 5 hours yesterday watchign the entire season

😭

like season 1 the relationships were a hot mess

[warped bramble]

Uchicago business or usc business?

Which is better for undergrad

[next peak]

well uchicago doesn’t really have business undergrad

js business econ

but booth is fantastic

[warped bramble]

Yeah

[tulip ice]

UChicago doesn’t have business

[next peak]

yes uchicago econ is amazing tho

[warped bramble]

I mean business econ

[tulip ice]

It’s just Econ

But UChicago is better

[warped bramble]

Like if I want to go into finance or something of that sort

[next peak]

ya uchicago no?

i mean cant go wrong w usc but

[warped bramble]

Yea I think that’s right

[cloud elbow]

uchicago >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> usc

me speaking facts

[cedar dock]

Ayee same, but WashU!

[cedar dock]

Bluh....

Why even be on here for the sake of spreading negativity?

[cloud elbow]

i am a spy 😉

[cedar dock]

They're both incredible schools either way, a large part of their value at this tier of education comes more from individualized fit than which one is ranked slightly above another

[flat shale]

Not in vibes or fun 😭

And their engineering is like weird it's only 1 major

[tulip ice]

UChicago engineering is not engineering 😭

It’s like idk how to explain it

Biology, engineering - physics ig

It’s also more theoretical heavy

Also id advise against going to UChicago if u wanna pursue engineering as it isn’t abet accredited

[flat shale]

Truee

Even if I get into Chicago I'll probably choose usc cause at least they have a real engineering school 😭

[civic tinsel]

i was gonna apply to uchicago ed with ee until the last moment when i found out they dont even have real engineering 😭

[quaint arrow]

is usc insanely academically challenging like uchicago

[tulip ice]

Ya this also applies to some ivies but I believe most ivies aren’t abet accredited either

[cedar dock]

I imagine it depends on the school

[civic tinsel]

crazy

[tulip ice]

I mean…idk much abt UChicago academic life and environment but it’s prob really good if not better than usc

I mean it’s UChicago lol

[quaint arrow]

i got into dornsife

nah yeah lmao

but as far as academics go do u have to grind crazy at usc

[flat shale]

Rlly I thought they were

Except like Dartmouth

[cedar dock]

I heard the premed type stuff at dornsife can still be pretty difficult

[quaint arrow]

oh not premed

PPL (politics philosophy and law)

[tulip ice]

Nah

[cedar dock]

Waiit that's such a fun major omg

[flat shale]

How hard is viterbi btw

[quaint arrow]

ikr i think itll be good fr

im js worried cus im doing prelaw but in the off chance i dont go to law school idk what job i can get with that major...

[tulip ice]

U may or may not get cooked

Idk many chem engineers

But ECE and mechanical and aerospace engineers

Are def the ones that get heavily influenced the most

In which I mean switching out of major

[cedar dock]

Is Marshall supposed to be difficult?

[tulip ice]

No 😭. But the curves are actually insane

My friends have been telling buad has been getting a bit hard

[cedar dock]

Like good insane or bad insane?

[tulip ice]

Tho

[cedar dock]

🤩

[tulip ice]

Half and half ig

[flat shale]

Oop 💀

Do most of them switch out of engineering as a whole or switch to a different engineering major

[tulip ice]

Different engineering

[flat shale]

Ohh ok

Does a "easier engineering major" even exist though

Like what do they usually switch to

[tulip ice]

CSBA mainly but I’ve seen some go to civil engineering and industrial engineering

[flat shale]

Ohh ok

U don't need to declare major immediately right

I feel like I might just end up doing meche

But like I'd wanna see what both r like idk

[misty current]

thats cap the marshall curve makes it so easy

[tulip ice]

He said buad 308

[misty current]

ah well thats bc he took the advanced version

what did he expect

[tulip ice]

Idk 😭. He apparently graduates like a year and a half early

[flat shale]

Did u use any ap credits to like skip courses @tulip ice

Like idk if I should do that or just take the easy route and do a class I already know everything in lmao

[tulip ice]

Like calc but that’s it

I mean varies by major lowk

I don’t need to chem but if u can avoid id avoid

Like with APs u can graduate earlier or take on a double degree or minor

[misty current]

i skipped 4 ges

and waived one major class

and all the credits i got added up to graduating a year early so u should def try get 4s on the AP exams

[tulip ice]

Damn wut which GEs can u waive out of ge a, b, or c in anyway

[misty current]

those are cc classes i took in fall

so here's what i had when i came on campus in spring

i tested out of foreign lang, gesm art, c + g sociology class and i was done

[opaque geode]

Hey I got accepted for IYA interview

How selective is it to get one and how selective is it after this round

[nova hamlet]

FISH

[tulip ice]

Hey

[tulip ice]

Ah ic

[drowsy jetty]

if u guys got deferred withdraw lowkey

[nova hamlet]

y

[drowsy jetty]

if grad school is a possibility do not go to usc full price lmao

[nova hamlet]

i mean i didnt apply

[drowsy jetty]

usc tuition is a massive ripoff

But lowkey do yk what else is massive

[warped bramble]

just 90k

[drowsy jetty]

I mean yeah 90k isn’t that bad for a guy like me

But for others

[warped bramble]

oh yeah i know

[warped bramble]

yea just pennies to me tbh

[tulip ice]

I mean

There is pdp here

[drowsy jetty]

what is pdp

[misty current]

progressive degree program

i'm on it

fish seems to be on it too

[tulip ice]

Undergrad + masters

[misty current]

TLDR if you have a strong undergrad app the uni will let you waive some master's classes and/or take some during undergrad years so you can grad with bachelors and masters at the same time

[tulip ice]

It’s possible to do it in 4 years

[tulip ice]

Imma apply next year but I heard it’s guaranteed as long as u have a 3.5

[drowsy jetty]

oh what that's sick

school of biology at ucsd does a one year masters program i might be interested in

[tulip ice]

Ya but like there’s also people who don’t wanna do masters at usc and perhaps wanna do it somewhere else

[drowsy jetty]

Also people who want to go to law school med school pharmacy school vet school

ANything like that

If you go to usc full tuition u are a dumbass

Unless you got bands fr

[warped bramble]

90k tho

isnt that bad

[drowsy jetty]

90k a year 💔

Why would anyone pay almost 400k for a fucking bachelors

I'm going to college for almost free lmao

My refund check just hit i got 1500 from my school i'm gambling it all

[warped bramble]

tough
fin aid?

[drowsy jetty]

Yessir

[warped bramble]

lucky

sucks that im not eligble for fin

[drowsy jetty]

i'm blessed my dad is "retired"

so even tho we're not broke

We get treated like we are

[warped bramble]

😂

gaming the system

good shit

[cedar dock]

Most don't

Around 2/3 are on financial aid alone

[warped bramble]

damn

[warped bramble]

is that more on average than other unis?

[misty current]

maybe #s wise sure

but average cost afte raid is going to be higher here for obvious reasons

[warped bramble]

true

[cedar dock]

So... are we getting merit aid updates on the 28th of January?

Fingers crossed lol, don't wanna submit my rooming till IK if I have a chance at McCarthy

[digital bear]

[digital bear]

[misty current]

[cedar dock]

I committed less than 10 minutes after being accepted

[digital bear]

Zamn

The sun is shining and its cold

[cedar dock]

Niceee

[scarlet matrix]

[scarlet matrix]

taper is by far the most disagusting building on campus

why r u tehre

[warped bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/ninja-fortnite-reaction-ninja-low-taper-fade-gif-1784137995500051652

[misty current]

law school is up there

and the accounting building

taper is ok

[scarlet matrix]

LOL

i jus fw fertita gang

[misty current]

fr

only reason i can tolerate walking from village to fertitta like every day is bc the building is actually nice

[digital bear]

Competition

Im wearing a ucla hat in usc mwahahahaha

[scarlet matrix]

@misty current you got time to jump this kid rq?

[digital bear]

Everyone actually jumping me already

[misty current]

i am going

to the village

if i see a ucla hat in 5 mins from now

u are getting jumped 🙂

[misty current]

for what it's worth i got approached by every guy when i went to ucla wearing usc hat last year

and i didn't even say anything

maybe ill return the favor

[royal sapphire]

yo me too

[royal sapphire]

no idea the numbers diff everywhere

[digital bear]

I was in the optics lab mwahahahha

[strong monolith]

i went to one in nyc last year (i’m from pennsylvania so it was a much easier trip than the accepted students day) and it’s what really made me want to visit/commit here

[strong monolith]

usc does admit by major for everything except viterbi

[tulip ice]

Yup so if ur admitted viterbi u cud switch to cs or any engineering major

[strong monolith]

there arent any impacted majors unless you're applying to a cohort/portfolio-based major (schools w/ december 1 deadlines and BCA) so it doesn't really chance your admissions chances at all

[errant mirage]

Wait I thought u said usc didn’t admit by major 😭

So they do, but the chances are the same regardless of the major?

[strong monolith]

when did i say that lol

[strong monolith]

pretty much yes

[misty current]

seems pretty straightforward to me

if you lied on your application (and they find out) then you're going to get your admission rescinded

[errant mirage]

When you said the impacted majors thing

I thought it meant that majors didn’t matter

[strong monolith]

yes everyone who applies receives this

its not an indication of anything, just letting you know that they may fact-check your app

[strong monolith]

an impacted major is a major with a significantly lower acceptance rate than other majors

unless youre applying to a program with a december 1 deadline or a cohort-based major all of majors at usc have a relatively similar acceptance rate

[errant mirage]

Yea i didn’t know that when i applied 😵 thought it was admit by school and not major

Whatevs

[strong monolith]

youre all good lol

[quaint arrow]

is usc worth it for prelaw now i’m hearing it’s unreasonably expensive if i wanna go to law school after

[warped bramble]

i think you'll be fine. just take a student loan. in 4 years when the democrats get into office they'll get rid of student loans again

[royal sapphire]

they admit by school i think

[warped bramble]

nah

[royal sapphire]

like engineering school or business school

[royal sapphire]

r u sure?

[warped bramble]

only viterbi

[little folio]

and sca admits by major

but apparently for sca even if you don’t get into the major you can get admitted into the school (?)

[warped bramble]

what are chances for ppl with a 3.9 W to get into marshall

not me, a friend of mine was asking. he has stacked ecs he says

good lors

[quaint arrow]

how much harder is marshall than dornsife

[warped bramble]

a lot

[quaint arrow]

oh word

[quaint arrow]

is it hard to transfer if ur in dornsife

[warped bramble]

i dont think so

[next peak]

but scotus is gna strike down again

😿

dw tho if u take em out js wait for all the justices to pass away

only takes like 40 yrs

and then u chillin

new court = no student debt

[warped bramble]

i think they striked down only some of it. there were still a lot of ppl that go it removed

pretty sure

[warped bramble]

its gonna be tricky though. if republicans are in office when they die you're cooked because they'll put in their people into scotus

[next peak]

oh ok ya i cant remember

[next peak]

well yes

we js need to wait for like

[warped bramble]

3.9

[next peak]

no republicans in senate

[warped bramble]

oh

uw is like 3.7

[next peak]

**conyrol

[warped bramble]

i think 3.6-3.7

smt like that

its just 2 C+s

and a couple Bs from what I remember him saying

rip

[next peak]

i mean doesnt usc look more at like

ecs no

idk

god knows

[warped bramble]

i think 3.7 is if we include his high school credits from middle school

so like some 8th grade courses

okay so yea 3.71 i think UW

[misty current]

imo same

[warped bramble]

alr bet. hopefully he gets in

[next peak]

well yea i think 3.7 is fine

3.6 true a bit iffy

[misty current]

having taken classes from both

[next peak]

yea 😭

[warped bramble]

oh yeah def

he also moved a bunch of times and moved schools twice

so ig a teeny bit of extenuating circumstances too

what are rlly good ecs to u

like do you have any examples

i think he has a bunch of tier 2s

bet

[next peak]

no fr 😭

ya idk

[warped bramble]

bro you know who would go hard in scotus
