#

for example i got cargar in spring 24 when i started but i went random

#

everyone i know with roommates got either gateway or troy hall

tulip ice
#

Ya..I think this is one downside to spring admits

#

U don’t really have that much options

misty current
#

you could put it like that

#

tbh i wouldn't even bother trying to do birnk or nn or anything

#

because if you think about it

#

the only reason how a spring admit would get birnk or something is if someone drops out

#

so naturally you just get what's left over

#

ie gateway troy hall

tulip ice
#

Kinda ya

#

Ur given left overs

misty current
#

ehh idk if its that bad

#

but let's just say it's leftover status

tulip ice
#

Uhhh there isn’t good stories

misty current
#

for a reason

tulip ice
#

Gateway is bad

#

Trust

misty current
#

ye the big one ive heard is random fire alarms

#

like even during finals week

#

troy hall i would normally say is pretty good but

#

they did get broken into that one week

#

by that one dude who got arrested

tulip ice
#

Ya also it’s generally nice to try to get a dorm inside campus cuz all freshman are in these dorms. Gateway has sophomores and maybe juniors

misty current
#

bc that implies someone has to drop out

#

from fall

tulip ice
#

Or do reassignment

misty current
#

maybe

#

nah reassignment how

#

like into birnk

tulip ice
#

Parkside might be possible

misty current
#

thats hard to believe

#

i just feel like its rlly hard in general to go on campus

tulip ice
misty current
#

bc fall people take the spots already

tulip ice
misty current
#

i mean you could put it on your housing app

#

but you'll probably get gateway troy hall

#

etc

tulip ice
#

True

#

Did u commit already

#

I see.

#

Is usc ur first choice rn

#

Oh rip are u cs lol

#

Ah I see. Hopefully usc gives u good aid so u don’t have to walk through the hell of having to get on call with financial aid

#

Nah it’s like 1 hr

#

Especially rn it might take longer

#

They don’t respond 😭

#

Ya…call is best option but still shit

#

It’s good

#

Just wait

#

If ur calling them asking abt financial aid not being there

#

No point

#

They will say it will come out shortly

#

Hopefully

#

spring dooming stuff?

#

oh i see i thought u were talking abt class registration lol

#

lowk the more i think abt im so confused how i got into fall right away as an appeal admit

#

i even submitted this appeal thing a day late i think

#

Is USCs financial issues causing any difference in student lige?

#

Life

strong monolith
#

its because the guests have a really fancy lunch in a banquet hall thats only used for special events

strong monolith
#

people are pissed at the admin but thats kinda standard for most highly-selective schools these days

misty current
#

ooh is this political economy

cursive canyon
misty current
#

probably the app doesn't even open until july

#

but i would wager they're going to say the same old same old about how housing isn't guaranteed

cursive canyon
#

Wait so if I go is there an actual chance I won't get on campus housing,

misty current
#

likely something like cargar gateway troy hall

#

which are all pretty much across the street

cursive canyon
#

Oh are those off campus but still part of the school?

misty current
#

ye managed by usc housing

cursive canyon
#

Ah ok

#

Not far from main campus I'm guessing

misty current
#

nothing unreasonable

cursive canyon
#

But shitty rooms

misty current
#

that idk about

#

cargar is chill

#

that's what i had

#

but i have heard bad things abt gateway especially

#

lets goo

#

another econ major

#

or at least econ adjacent 😄

#

r u trying for like law then

cursive canyon
#

Oo I'm econ too

misty current
#

yooo

#

econ rise up

misty current
#

econ math econ data sci somethin

#

ah the classic econ to ib

cursive canyon
misty current
#

doable here

#

marshall easier

#

not rlly

#

there's no marshall curve

cursive canyon
#

Is it ez to switch majors within dornsife

misty current
#

but the rule of thumb is usually median is lowest B+

#

all marshall classes required to have 3.5 average

misty current
#

well unless you're switching from econ to religion or whatever

cursive canyon
#

Marshall clubs thankfully don't require u to be in Marshall

misty current
misty current
#

i was going to say

#

joining one of the ib clubs makes it 1 million times easier

#

im in one

#

better than before

#

when it was 3.3

#

marshall classes are not that hard

#

imo

#

having taken a few

#

yeah fair

#

up to u

cursive canyon
#

Is it hard to switch to Marshall was abt to ask that

misty current
#

i would say eaiser from marshall

misty current
#

got in

#

u need 3.7 average and A- or better in econ 351

cursive canyon
#

Oh nice

misty current
#

hardest marshall class

#

then i switched back to dornsife

#

3 year grad econ

#

vs 4 yrs buad fin emphasis

cursive canyon
#

Ah that's a good choice imo

misty current
#

i also figured i didn't need marshall stuff bc i was recruiting ok in econ alr

#

not ib

#

and i'm still doing fine rn

#

so there's little benefit to staying one extra year

#

just for marshall

#

am

#

some priv banking wm adjacent

#

but risk/am/pm is the big one

cursive canyon
#

Does usc have good eb placement for ib or is only good for bb

misty current
#

we just placed 4 into centerview

#

abhi says it all the time

#

we're practically a target now

#

we have an event next sunday open to all if you want to drop in

tulip ice
cursive canyon
misty current
#

zoom

#

(shameless plug)

#

theres also a fireside chat from 1-2 from some guy at pimco that's not on the flyer

cursive canyon
#

Bro I was looking at the clubs in mars and a lot seem similar, would u say it's best to try to join like 1-2

misty current
#

whats mars

cursive canyon
#

Marshall I meant

misty current
#

o

#

the thing is each club is slightly diff

#

there are 3 ib clubs

#

tis gis vig

#

and they do different stuff

#

so research and see what you like

misty current
cursive canyon
#

I'm just praying their finaid isn't horrible 🙏🏽

misty current
#

if u want like the good stuff

#

theres a generational eric ou reel out there abt some of the consulting clubs here

#

Would it be a big mistake to turn down Northwestern for USC's business of cinema program?

misty current
rocky dagger
misty current
#

depends on what you want to do later tbh

#

and where

#

like if you're really trying to do the cinema stuff there is no better place to be than usc sca

#

anyone will tell you that

rocky dagger
#

I def wanna live in LA after, and i'm planning to go pre-law for entertainment law

misty current
#

then usc

#

unless

#

cost

rocky dagger
#

roughly identical cost tbh

misty current
#

well there you go

#

you want to stay in la, you're going to usc which is equal cost to your 2nd choice

#

fill out that commitment form lol

cursive canyon

misty current
#

i think average size here is like 25

#

in econ for sure no more than 100-150

#

there is no wl for classes here and generally no problems with getting classes

#

the problem with econ specifically though is that there are only a few profs that are really good and the rest are just kinda eh

#

it's kind of a general theme here

#

with econ

#

the rmps are usually less than 4.0

rocky dagger
misty current
#

i mean i have a 4.0 rn

#

i've never found classes to be like impossible

#

but i would agree there are some profs that are like not that good

strong monolith
rocky dagger
#

my major requires four years to complete all courses

strong monolith
#

the vast majority of college students do not have 4.0 gpas

misty current
misty current
#

was interesting

rocky dagger
misty current
#

o i didnt scroll

#

nvm

rocky dagger
#

since ik completing my degree is impossible in three years

misty current
#

3.9 is what

#

one a- per year

#

the rest as

ye somethin like that

ur econ ba right

just avoid him 😄

#

idt it would be public

but i've never seen one

rocky dagger
strong monolith
misty current
#

ah well a bit better then

rocky dagger
misty current
#

no bca is a marshall degree

strong monolith
misty current
#

u just take classes at sca

rocky dagger
misty current
#

looks like the 25th anniversary of bca being a thing

strong monolith
misty current
#

administratively its marshall right

#

joint in that u take classes at sca

strong monolith
#

its a joint degree so its administered by both

misty current
#

o

rocky dagger
strong monolith
#

but the majority of classes are through marshall

rocky dagger
strong monolith
#

its under marshall in the catalogue

misty current
#

it was marshall admin

strong monolith
cursive canyon
#

@misty current does graduating in 3 instead of 4 have a negative effect in recruiting for you

strong monolith
misty current
#

bc what happened was in summer 2025 i said i was a junior (which technically i was) and got my internship for this summer

#

rn i'm recruiting 2026 and i say i'm a sophomore bc i put pdp on the resume

#

so its like a half truth that im a sophomore

#

100k probs

strong monolith
rocky dagger
strong monolith
#

the bca degree only requires 28 credits through sca so it would kind of be odd for it to be an sca degree

rocky dagger
#

looks like it only requires 48 credits of business too

misty current
#

thats 12 classes

#

thats a lot

rocky dagger
#

o wait nvm 56

lusty blade
#

Around 100k for a year

#

Lil less than that

strong monolith
misty current
#

probably 🙃

strong monolith
#

yes that is how college works

misty current
#

yeah i would not be here if i couldn't grad in 3 years

#

too expensive

#

but the opp cost made it worth

rocky dagger
#

wait so dyk if they still get access to sca resources like the industry relations office?

cursive canyon
#

Dude tuition rates gonna eventually be like 150k for a single year meltingsob

strong monolith
misty current
#

we don't have a bca current student here right

#

unfortunate

strong monolith
#

my godawful roommate was lmfao

misty current
#

32 units ap credit and 4 of them were ge knockouts, the rest was dornsife credit that all dornsife ppl need to get a degree
6 classes summer/fall at home before i came to campus vs the usual 4
tested out of foreign lang requirement
i had 3 ges when i came here in spring and planned classes so i could get all 3 in only 2 classes (+1 class slot)
i have a plan for my accounting minor to only be 16 minor exclusive units which is the usc minimum

#

and it just about squeezes into 3 years

strong monolith
#

transfer credits + APs make it pretty easy

rocky dagger
strong monolith
#

i would be able to graduate in 3 if i was in a normal major

rocky dagger
#

they seem hard to find

rocky dagger
misty current
#

lots of time to plan stuff but

#

well worth

strong monolith
#

its a bfa

rocky dagger
#

what's it like?

#

a diamond amex card maybe?

strong monolith
#

if you pay four years of tuition in full lmfao

strong monolith
rocky dagger
strong monolith
#

yes

rocky dagger
strong monolith
#

youd be surprised at how rich a lot of usc students re

#

Which is better CSBA or just business?

#

Is there anyone in CSBA that knows about if we get the same opportunities as pure business and pure cs students?

misty current
#

technically csba is a viterbi major so you will arguably get more stuff from viterbi, but i'd imagine you won't have much issue with marshall stuff

#

if you really want to do something like buad with an emphasis there's probably no harm in adding a cs minor

mental seal
#

I kind of want to have both fields open for both swe and ib positions but since it’s in viterbi I was wondering if recruiting to IB would be restricted

#

To like only Marshall students

misty current
#

not really

mental seal
#

The lady at explore usc yesterday didn’t know much about it so I thought I’d ask here 😭

#

She said csba is pretty popular tho since it’s good for project manager positions as well

misty current
#

let me just say i've seen people land ib without marshall

#

but

#

it's definitely a lot easier

#

i think i could have recruited ib if i wanted to and i'm econ, but that's largely due to being in one of the pre-ib clubs already

#

which was pretty hard for me to get into in the first place from econ and not the typical buad finance

mental seal
#

Are the clubs super competitive to join?

misty current
#

swe i couldn't tell u anything

misty current
mental seal
#

Yikes

#

But that’s everywhere right

misty current
#

i'd imagine so

mental seal
#

Like all the top unis

#

Yeaa

misty current
#

we just took 60 slots for our academy

#

and im pretty sure at least 200 people applied

#

they felt so bad rejecting so many people they made it 60 this year btw

#

normally it's 40

mental seal
#

😭😭

misty current
#

and then if you want the proverbial golden ticket

#

tis mentorship

mental seal
#

Is it hard to transfer between schools

misty current
#

that's even harder

misty current
#

i switched back for reasons

#

viterbi to marshall shouldn't be too hard in your case since you're csba anyways

mental seal
#

At exploreusc everyone was In Marshall and there were only 3 viterbi 💀

misty current
#

guess they're the only ppl that can afford flying out for explore usc en masse

mental seal
#

Nono in my hometown

misty current
#

oh i forgot abt those

mental seal
#

It was so fun they rented out a wedding venue and treated us to a full course meal

#

😭

#

Is this the usc treatment

misty current
#

yes

#

i think they give u tcc at explore usc

#

which is like event only big ballroom

mental seal
#

They’re starting to pull me away from ucla

#

What’s tcc?

misty current
#

just so you know

#

usc clears ucla for ib

misty current
mental seal
#

Ohh

misty current
#

the admission center is there + a big ballroom + some food places

#

student government

#

etc etc

mental seal
#

I think

misty current
#

idk anything about cs

mental seal
#

My brother works at Google and his manager said they hire more usc than ucla

misty current
#

but i do know we placed 4 into centerview

#

apparently that makes us a target

#

loll

mental seal
#

Lolll

#

The lady at the event also told me if I want more like IB courses

#

I can tell my counselor I want a minor in business to take the courses then not do the minor

#

💀💀

misty current
#

oh yeah u could do that without the minor

#

3 course limit

mental seal
#

She also kept telling me about on campus jobs in the viterbi school for intl students

#

Do u think that’s true?

misty current
#

no clu

mental seal
#

Not like working in a boba shop jobs like working in the cs dept

misty current
#

my circle is all marshall

#

or econ dornsife

mental seal
#

Ahh icic

hot olive
#

how easy is it to switch from bus admin to csba? and do i lose marshall resources?

mental seal
strong monolith

#

oh not the one under tcc?

#

ic

#

when is explore usc?

tulip ice
tulip ice
tulip ice
mental seal
tulip ice
mental seal
#

so we get the same as viterbi right?

#

but not the same as marshall

tulip ice
#

I’m in viterbi and have couple friends in CSBA

tulip ice
#

U get to take Marshall classes

mental seal
#

but we wont get like the recruiting stuff

misty current
mental seal
#

okok

misty current
#

my case is i'm a leventhal minor

tulip ice
misty current
#

and i get SOME of the recruiting stuffs

#

just not everything

tulip ice
#

Meaning u will be able to go to the exclusive viterbi events and recruiting

misty current
#

same w marshall

mental seal
#

does viterbi recuit to IB

tulip ice
#

If I were u I’d minor in finance

mental seal
#

okok

misty current
#

as csba

tulip ice
tulip ice
#

Unless it’s overlapping completely

mental seal
#

i might transfer to marshall

tulip ice
mental seal
#

csba

misty current
#

prob not that hard

#

tbh

#

they might make u take 351 tho

tulip ice
misty current
#

ye but its not like pure cs

#

so prob easier

tulip ice
#

However viterbi has decent consulting recruitment

mental seal
#

o that lowkey works

misty current
#

im p sure we recruit ok in ib

#

even not marshall

tulip ice
mental seal
#

is there a restriction to doing this minor?

#

idk if csba is a business major

misty current
mental seal
#

its weird

misty current
#

but there is a 16 unit minor exclusive requirement

tulip ice
#

This prob applies for most minor

misty current
#

leventhal is 2.75

#

hm

mental seal
#

it says no business majors

tulip ice
#

Kinda

misty current
#

that's the thing

tulip ice
#

And u seem more interested in Marshall

#

I recommend u just go to business

misty current
#

ye if u rlly want ib it's prob easier

#

just do marshall cs minor

#

or applied analytics or something

#

a lot of people do that

tulip ice
#

Also cuz ur admitted CSBA u may not have to do the Marshall transfer process

misty current
mental seal
#

okok thanks guys

misty current
#

im the only dornsife

mental seal
#

can i ask this stuff to the viterbi admissions email person

misty current
#

would they rlly know abt ib recruiting

mental seal
#

like the one thats been emailing me about admissions since i got in

misty current
#

and the difference

mental seal
#

i asked her in person and she didnt rly know 😭

misty current
#

ye that's also my thought

mental seal
#

cuz she said its a relatively new program

misty current
#

bc they're viterbi

tulip ice
mental seal
#

maybe ill cc the marshall lady then

misty current
#

pretty much depends on how much u care abt ib

#

probably easier to do straight marshall cs minor

#

not to mention much less coursework

mental seal
#

i would rather do consulting than ib

#

but marshall is prolly better for consulting too right

misty current
#

if viterbi does ok for mbb maybe

#

but marshall has the consulting clubs too

#

idk if there's restrictions on like tcg or whatever for marshall majors tho

#

i just know abt the ib ones

mental seal
#

okok tyy

#

ill send them an email once i have all my questions sorted lol

hot olive
hot olive
mental seal
misty current
mental seal
#

she said most ppl in csba go into PM

mental seal
#

im interested in swe, pm, ib, and consulting which is why i chose this major

misty current
#

honestly if ur interested in that much u could just stay csba

#

and just do every club every internship type of thing

mental seal
#

yeaa that was kind of my plan

#

but im afriad of not getting into the clubs being not in marshall

misty current
#

i mean it isn't impossible

#

case in point = me

#

but it's harder for sure i would say especially if you don't have the right background

mental seal
#

right yea

misty current
#

worst case i can nepo u

mental seal
#

im gonna have a lot to think about 😭

#

LOL

misty current
#

fish already begged for one

#

XD

mental seal
#

appreciate that 🙏

mental seal
misty current
#

he said somethin about sleeping on the day the app was due

#

so he never turned it in

mental seal
#

oh no 😭

hot olive
#

btw so if i were to switch to csba is it simply taking the prerequisite classes and declaring the major? or how does the process go since im technically transferring from marshall to viterbi correct?

misty current
#

i don't know if the viterbi lottery is a thing for buad --> csba just because they're so similar but you should ask some viterbi peeps

#

USC-Marshall versus Berkeley’s Spieker-Hass for IB? Thoughts

misty current
#

unless usc is a million times cheaper

#

actually idk apparently our numbers are getting better

mental seal
#

marshall hired the wharton person right

#

and he brought over a lot of huge firms

misty current
#

yes the old dean from wharton

#

apparently we are same as berk now? im not super keen on ib so don't know for sure

#

we r doing way better than ucla tho

mental seal
#

better than ucla for cs too right

#

i think i already asked that 💀

#

trojan network

misty current
#

trojan network is a real thing that's all i can say

#

there are def some people that won't answer your linkedin unless you're in tfa or something tho

mental seal
#

😭

#

hypothetically

#

if one was to get off columbia wl columbia or usc

misty current
#

columbia places better obv

#

would just be whatever's cheaper, where you see yourself

#

i think we do marginally better west coast than them

mental seal
#

hmm okok

misty current
#

and if u rlly care about the cs thing

#

bc idt columbia has a cs buad thing

mental seal
#

nah they dont

misty current
#

but u could just minor

#

or somethin

mental seal
#

id be doing cs 💀 or transfer to the college

misty current
#

actually then u cant swe

#

hmm

mental seal
#

they dont have business as a major

misty current
#

oh dats weird

#

they recruit out of econ?

mental seal
#

yeaa ikr

#

i think so

#

econ is in a diff school from where i applied to

#

so id have to switch there

#

but they also recruit in the stem school heavily

#

but like all the stuff thats happening there rn 💀

misty current

depends on your financial situation/how much you would take out

and your expectation/ability to pay off loans

i ended up picking here over ucsd instate because i could finish undergrad + grad in 4 years and the opportunity cost of being done 2 years early was bigger than ucsd being cheaper
