[wild locust]

I get fuckin teleported in dmc

[versed narwhal]

How much do I sell tmrw’s football ticket for??

Like what is a fair price

[wild locust]

10 bucks

[versed narwhal]

R u being serious

Isn’t that a bit too cheap

[wild locust]

I dunno it doesnt feel very fun

[versed narwhal]

Bruhh 💀💀

[wild locust]

Its hot as balls for the michigan state game

So most people prolly only doin tailgating prolly

[viscid marlin]

game is at 8 though

[haughty moth]

i would say 60

for big ten ticket

and i think ppl will go to this one bc it's late night and conference home opener

and mythology matchup

[viscid marlin]

Wow

[versed narwhal]

Wait seriously

But I’m seeing ppl on GroupMe selling for like 15

[viscid marlin]

Student section?

[versed narwhal]

I assume so tbh

Also I told a guy 20 dollars and he left me on read

💀

[viscid marlin]

could tell he doesn't care about football

[viscid marlin]

insta notes?

[versed narwhal]

Maybe as a last resort lmao

[viscid marlin]

best way imo

people are on instagram so much

[haughty moth]

well this price was like earlier in the week

i guess day of/day before it's a lot harder to sell price goes down

[viscid marlin]

opposite of airplane tickets-

[versed narwhal]

Should I sell it for like 10 dollars now

I got banned from the GroupMe even tho I didn’t speak

Literally so confused 😭

[wild locust]

The groupmes dont like people selling tickets cuz theres bots who try the same thing

[versed narwhal]

I didn’t speak tho…

[wild locust]

They felt it

[versed narwhal]

😒😒

Do u think 10 dollars is reasonable

[haughty moth]

i mean its like 4 hours before take anything u can get atp

[versed narwhal]

Ok thanks!!

[versed narwhal]

I sold within 5 min lmao 😭

[viscid marlin]

W

[viscid marlin]

Wondering how much notre dame tickets would sell for

[haughty moth]

prob a bit under ucla

im wondering what those will be

2 yrs ago 100 easy

[viscid marlin]

Real

I went to 2 of the games this semester and so many people are leaving early

[haughty moth]

yesterday was understandable

i left early

the other 2 were blowouts so that makes sense too

[worldly sky]

bro i wanna go to a usc game see how it is

davis games have hella energy in the aggie pack but otherwise its kinda like high school football

[viscid marlin]

You should

[viscid marlin]

Ended up staying the entire game for both games I went to

[worldly sky]

ill go if theres a game early in the semester and if im still in sd during that time

[left quartz]

Since when do you live in sd

[left quartz]

consequences of the alum association charging $800 for a lifetime membership and not giving you a ucd affiliated email unless you pay that

[viscid marlin]

sounds like a plan, some games are very cheap

[worldly sky]

If I get an internship there it ends on the 14th or smth

[wild locust]

Whats that frozen lemonade machine in parkside

Is it only there for breakfast

[viscid marlin]

Pop up drink!

[wild locust]

Ig im going back to parkside for lunch

[viscid marlin]

I’m going too

[wild locust]

Is it only at parkside

[viscid marlin]

Yeah parkside’s the main dining hall that does pop up drinks

[wild locust]

Buh

I should just do homework at parkside dining hall

[viscid marlin]

That’s what I did last year

Recommend it

[wild locust]

I will probably get diabetes from eating ice cream nonstop so maybe thats a bad idea

[viscid marlin]

I just drink water

[wild locust]

The dole whips are too good

[viscid marlin]

They definitely have more dole whip this year

From what I’ve noticed

[wild locust]

Genuinely unfair that evk is this mediocre compared to parkside

[viscid marlin]

For desserts

[wild locust]

Only thing evk has above village and parkside is hamburger and hotdog grill

Those are nice

[haughty moth]

ya evk is the worst

only debate is village or parkside

[wild locust]

ts why birnkrant is dookie

Village is nice if ur rich

Parkside is perfect why didnt i rank ts first

I got scammed

[versed narwhal]

OMG LMK IF U COME

Bro y'all hating on evk too much 😭

I've been camping out at leavey past week and evk is not bad at all

[viscid marlin]

It's good, but parkside has more special events

[haughty moth]

no one said evk was bad

it's just not good

lol

[wild locust]

evk is unhealthy

[versed narwhal]

That’s true nobody can deny Parkside is better 😭

[wild locust]

🥀 parkside is so far

[viscid marlin]

I’m at parkside rn!

Very good options today

[wild locust]

Imma head over the

Im hungry

they have nuggets right

Doheny is lwk scary place to study

Feels too hogwartsy

[viscid marlin]

Yes

[viscid marlin]

Would be nice if they didn't close so fast

[haughty moth]

nothing wrong with being too hogwartsy

[wild locust]

Its too open

like thats too stereotypical college library

[versed narwhal]

Facts I can only focus in leavey bc it’s like a prison

[viscid marlin]

9/5 office

[wild locust]

I like that dark box in the second floor

Feels like a cave

Brings back ancestral memories of cave

[wild locust]

Lowkey this school is so silly

I can just walk to the natural history museum

Ts so goated

[viscid marlin]

Yk what though

would be nice if it was open for longer

[wild locust]

It closes at 5 so im going rn fr

[viscid marlin]

Valid fr, I might honestly join for a bit since my class is close to the museums

[wild locust]

Everywhere is close

Nothing is more than 20 minutes

[viscid marlin]

ye my class is right next to exposition park

[viscid marlin]

thankfully

[wild locust]

I need those nhm chicken tenders fr

One day they gotta expand like the cal academy of sciences

[viscid marlin]

If the renovations don't take too long

[viscid marlin]

there's a mexican restaurant at the science museum

hits different

[wild locust]

Ill check ts out next week

Im devouring chicken tenders fr

[haughty moth]

where chicken tenders

im hungry

[wild locust]

I ate them

[haughty moth]

bruh

i just read this why does the museum sell chicken tenders

i thought there were some in a dhall

[wild locust]

The cafe inside

Kinda overpriced

But i wanted to relive my childhood

[viscid marlin]

Free ticket + overpriced food

[wild locust]

Worth

[viscid marlin]

[wild locust]

Every day i wanna go to parkside

I should just switch second semester

[viscid marlin]

there's room

[versed narwhal]

Birnkrant can’t be this bad 😭

[wild locust]

No its just that parkside is next to the museum

It has a piano room

And a kitchen

And its huge dorms

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-shrimply-divine-divine-philip-richardson-gif-11150318640591308354

only con is that my hs classmate is there

[versed narwhal]

Lmao u probably won’t ever run into them I haven’t seen my hs classmate in a good@month 😭

[wild locust]

I saw her at the involvement fair so the chance is never 0 😭

[viscid marlin]

I saw mine often, they were people I barely knew in hs though

[haughty moth]

yall aren't tight with your hs classmates?

feels bad

[wild locust]

One of em transferred hs in sophomore year so i havent seen him in a bit

And the other ive talked to like 3 times over 12 years

Third is spring semester

[viscid marlin]

i got tighter with ppl at usc, helps when I live in dorms and don't have to drive everywhere

[viscid marlin]

i have a friend like that actually. but from middle school only.

[wild locust]

world is tiny fr

[viscid marlin]

ikr, glad to reunite with him

although a bummer so many friends from hs didn't apply or got rejected

[wild locust]

Icl usc is not a school where most people will end up

Its either too expensive

Or they get into a better school

[versed narwhal]

Nooo I’m tight with mine

I just saw him today

💀

Right after I said O haven’t seen him in a long time

[wild locust]

My hs classmates are wildly different majors so no chance to meet up

Ones business, two engineering

[viscid marlin]

Yeah most people I know from my school won’t get any financial aid but still can’t afford tuition

[worldly sky]

Isn't he in thr same building or something

[versed narwhal]

Yes

[viscid marlin]

last year so many people in my building i never met

[viscid marlin]

i went on metro yesterday and saw a questionable incident

random (homeless?) person got on and started yelling at people

[wild locust]

Damn i got lucky on the metro today then

[viscid marlin]

fr man

where you off to?

[wild locust]

Venice beach

[viscid marlin]

fire

i went to little tokyo

[wild locust]

I havent been there yet

I gotta explore on weekends fr

[viscid marlin]

down to go in around 2 weeks?

[wild locust]

Ive lived here 18 years and been absolutely nowhere

[viscid marlin]

relatable

[viscid marlin]

i think you'll like it

[wild locust]

I dunno what my schedule is like two weeks from now lol

[viscid marlin]

me too, i'll definitely see how my schedule pans out too

[wild locust]

I need to set up a notion calendar fr

[viscid marlin]

i just use apple calendar

[wild locust]

Mine got too filled up

I dont know whats going on

[viscid marlin]

valid, i am gonna download it rn

[wild locust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/USC/comments/1ntxc1z/my_experience_with_usc_mental_health/

is ts real 😭

i almost scheduled an appointment 💀

[viscid marlin]

I feel like I know who typed that

wait actually nvm

[worldly sky]

Age of what

Holy shit im so cooked

[viscid marlin]

I knew someone was gonna point that out

[ancient dew]

hiii

I just did a USC application workship which was really informative and helpful

Like I think USC lowkey became my new top 1 because of their business of cinematic arts program too tbh

From current students (if possible), what is your favorite part of USC?

[wild locust]

The bakers dozen of scandals and controversies every month

[ancient dew]

help, what does this mean 😭

I'm so intrigued

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-laugh-tokyo-toni-sip-tokyo-toni-sipping-tokyo-toni-drinking-chuckle-laugh-drink-gif-11498149991741549254

[wild locust]

Go to the daily trojan insta page

And scroll through all those headlines fr

[ancient dew]

These comments going after this girl talking about TS oml

[haughty moth]

being able to take whatever classes you want from any school/how easy it is to get double minor double major whatever u want

[charred slate]

USC application not yet available? That's unfortunate

[wild locust]

eh

pretty sure it is yo

[charred slate]

not on common app

or am I blind

[wild locust]

The logo is prolly not what ur expecting

prolly missed it

I rember making that mistake

[charred slate]

No no I have it in my list, it says "application - not yet available"

[wild locust]

weird

[charred slate]

or they just hate intls

[wild locust]

Looks open to me icl

[charred slate]

what does it say for you?

[wild locust]

Im already at usc so im just looking at common app

If its there its open

[charred slate]

nevermind it's fine, my apologies

interesting writing questions

[ancient dew]

Is anyone in the business of cinematic arts program

[haughty moth]

ik some people in it

seems fun

[ancient dew]

literally a dream to get into that

[charred slate]

then go for it

[charred slate]

Would it be smart to talk about my studies switch in the additional info section on commonapp? Went from STEM-based to humane sciences so my grades aren't reliable mostly. I did mail a counselor at USC

[viscid marlin]

Yes it's a good idea

I was actually a similar way, cs path into humanities/business path

[charred slate]

It's mostly because STEM was really a struggle, including mentally

[viscid marlin]

same here

it's hard when there's just 1 answer, humanities courses felt a lot more flexible

but yeah which specific major are you gonna do Timooo?

[wild locust]

shit i bombed that bio midterm

is my grade savable if i got a 68% 😭

[versed narwhal]

💀

Who do u have

[wild locust]

bertolini

wait no gracey

i can't remember these profs names icl

[versed narwhal]

Oh

Wait wasn’t his average 80% 😭 or was th at somebody else

[wild locust]

naur the average was like 64

[versed narwhal]

If so u might be cooked unless u get rlly high grades on all the other midterms

OH

Then just get good grades on all other midterms and pray for a curve

Cuz that class that got 80% as their average is not getting a curve lmao

[wild locust]

i prolly should've read the textbook

ap bio did not carry

[versed narwhal]

💀😭for trond it’s just memorizing the slides

Word for word

Dude I need friends who r in my class

So we can study together but why is it so hard

[wild locust]

cuz the prof lectures the entire time

and at the end everyone just leaves (information overload)

[versed narwhal]

Yeah 😭😭

[viscid marlin]

Pull up to village gym

Gonna be here until closing

[versed narwhal]

How much do I sell umich for guys

[haughty moth]

i sold for 40

idk what the going rate is tho

[viscid marlin]

it would've been much higher if it wasn't fall break at the same time

damn

[haughty moth]

the other day i saw someone trying to sell it for 105

good luck with that

[short canopy]

what does this mean

[versed narwhal]

I quoted 70 to somebody and they asked if we can meet on campus so hopefully it works out 😭

[versed narwhal]

Yeahhhhh

[versed narwhal]

USC vs umich football ticket

[short canopy]

oh lol

[charred slate]

Political Science

[viscid marlin]

good choice, i am in a similar major

[versed narwhal]

Yayyy I sold for 70

[worldly sky]

❌ ichigan

[ancient dew]

I plan on applying EA to usc but my SAT is a 1440 (660 reading, 780 math). I plan on retaking in November and hopefully my reading will go up around 50 points. Should I submit my score and worst case if I get deferred, submit my new score if it’s better, or apply test optional?

I hope this is the right place to ask only bc it’s kinda specific towards USC

[wild locust]

Ur chill vro

Just check the quartiles

And if ur in them ur chill asf

Focus on supps and not test scores

[ancient dew]

ty 🙏

[haughty moth]

ya essays is how i got in

at least i think

i went to

[ancient dew]

I went to one of the USC application workshops and lowkey found it rlly helpful

I loved we were able to like talk to the guy and use our camera lmao

[viscid marlin]

🗣️

[charred slate]

Yeahh maybe I should've started with SAT prac earlier, it's almost too late now to learn all the stuff

Gonna have to cook up the most insane essays or I'm practically doomed

[haughty moth]

relax brother

unironically the most important thing ive learned here is to not tweak out about everything

[wild locust]

If i can get in with essays written in fifteen minutes you can too

[haughty moth]

shrimp r u going to michigan game

[wild locust]

Prolly not

Imma only go to ucla this year

Im too tired and busy

I just got back from being sick for a week

[haughty moth]

dang

[charred slate]

finances will be painnnnn

[wild locust]

rip

I never really worried about that cuz im so poor that if they dont give essentially a full ride im not going

[charred slate]

intl life is pain, columbia would be 46k per year

[wild locust]

For intl 46k is really good

[charred slate]

don't wanna be a financial burden

[wild locust]

if ur gonna be intl in the us thats inevitable 🥀

[haughty moth]

yeah unless you somehow get a bunch of merit aid u will be coughing up a lot to go to any us school

[wild locust]

Plus the schools that give shitton of merit aid be hard to get visas for

Like safeties

[worldly sky]

Wait bro selling tickets is such a strat

Like just sell all the football game tickets u have and u can earn back some of the money that you threw down the drain for Google slides

[haughty moth]

yeah but then you can't go to the games

which are fun

[versed narwhal]

Ya but for ppl like me who only bought for ucla game

if we don't sell we're losing out on money 😭

[haughty moth]

but the other games tho

🙁

when the team is very much mid it's fun watching them win by like 60 points

[versed narwhal]

Ya that was the first game which I went to LMAO

[viscid marlin]

[versed narwhal]

How much do I sell northwestern for

Some girl offered me 25..

[haughty moth]

less than michigan

couldn't tell u

[viscid marlin]

although the time is a lot better

friday game

[wild locust]

are ucla tickets really gonna be 100 bucks 💀

[prime geode]

umich already $100

[prime geode]

do atleast 30, that’s like avg tickets

[wild locust]

hksa offers discount and its 98 bucks

Should i get it

[prime geode]

they have discount??

lwk

if you’re here that weekend then yeah

[wild locust]

Or wait until some mf who has ucla tickets but has to go back home for thanksgiving is desperately trying to sell

[wild locust]

100 dollars tho

Ts lowkey what i spend in 2 months 🥀

[prime geode]

😭

[prime geode]

try and see which of your friends bought the season tickets

they’d be willing to sell for prob 50+

if they aren’t here and they don’t care abt money that much..

[wild locust]

Im lwk not close enough to anyone like that 🥀

[prime geode]

[wild locust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/USC/comments/1o2kkoa/dear_students_usc_is_laying_off_all_dornsife/

cooked?

https://www.reddit.com/r/USC/comments/1o2fju5/comment/ninu0wf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[haughty moth]

gang i sold my michigan ticket for $40 how did people get 100 for it

ok tbf the group i sold it in almost always has discounted prices

but 100 is crazy

[viscid marlin]

Rich

[viscid marlin]

Not surprised

[versed narwhal]

Which group r u selling in?

I’m in this GroupMe that’s rlly sketch 💀but it worked ig

[prime geode]

you sold it for 40?!?

are you deadass

there was atleast 10 different people yesterday (and I’m guessing today too) on sidechat and yikyak wanting to buy for 100-105

[haughty moth]

well i sold it to someone i'm relatively tight with not like randoms

im not on sidechat yikyak or anything like that either

[prime geode]

that makes sense, atleast you know them and they’ll remember the favor

[prime geode]

it’s a pretty good platform to sell tickets when game days are coming up, but other than that it’s just gossip and drama

[viscid marlin]

i just sell them on instagram notes

sold for $60.

[versed narwhal]

Do any of ygs know where I can find out what time the ucla vs usc game starts

Cuz that determines whether I fly back on Sunday or Saturday 😭

[viscid marlin]

TBD

Hopefully by next week

[haughty moth]

ya im also waiting

[worldly sky]

Go trojans

[viscid marlin]

fight on!

[viscid marlin]

!fish

[kind tinsel]

[viscid marlin]

still works...

[wild locust]

who wanna watch chainsaw man on friday with me fr

[viscid marlin]

i'd be down

right after i finish my essay due that day!

[viscid marlin]

Anyone know Phi Kappa Phi?

I found an application for it

[cunning pewter]

Meeee

[haughty moth]

i found it worthless

u can decide for yourself

but imo it's telling enough that pkp has a yearly fee while you get a million more things in pbk and its lifetime fee is cheaper than pkp's fee for one year

[viscid marlin]

thx for letting me know dalone

the application looks intense

[haughty moth]

yea the career etc stuff they had wasn't useful for me

[viscid marlin]

More of a reason not to stress over getting a recommender

[viscid marlin]

oops law professor just said 6 7

[wild locust]

Hit up the regal live on friday for chainsaw man movie fr

[viscid marlin]

what time

[wild locust]

Like 7 or something

[wild locust]

Does the target in village have legends za

[viscid marlin]

why so low?!?!

[wild locust]

It genuinely isnt really up to par for a 70 dollar game

And a multi billion dollar company

One of the largest ips in the world with graphics from 2010 is disgraceful

But it is fun

[viscid marlin]

Hey that’s all that matters

:)

[viscid marlin]

I might be going home for the weekend, but if I stay I’ll join you

[wild locust]

[viscid marlin]

👍

[viscid marlin]

I just saw a trailer for it looks exciting

I watched it for a quest

[viscid marlin]

Parkside 😋

[worldly sky]

lame

[viscid marlin]

Send me a uc Davis dining hall picture

[worldly sky]

@viscid marlin

i havent been taking many food pics but the food here is amazing

(latitude IS overrated)

[haughty moth]

davis is good at farm stuff for a reason

i suppose

[worldly sky]

if you come here and try the cauliflower (bottom left) when we have it you will ascend

it is the best thing ever

also mind you im vegetarian so the options are limited but good

[haughty moth]

i still have to go to davis

i was supposed to go this summer

and didnt

[viscid marlin]

👏

[wild locust]

ts midterms are touching me

[worldly sky]

me too

[wild locust]

I think i legit can only get a c in my ge

Cuz like ts is hard as shit

[worldly sky]

ges are harder than they should be

[viscid marlin]

cap

you'll get at least a b

[wild locust]

Naur the assignments and tests are hard

And i got a 0 on a project worth 14%

[viscid marlin]

how

[wild locust]

I was sick and didnt follow up with ta and prof

[viscid marlin]

sorry to hear

you better now?

[wild locust]

Yeah

[viscid marlin]

:)

[wild locust]

Welp my gpa might get cooked but upwards trend always good

[viscid marlin]

fr

upward trend saved me

in hs

[wild locust]

I had downwards trend in hs

[viscid marlin]

oof

i mean classes got harder

[wild locust]

Less trend more insane senior year falloff

[viscid marlin]

i took a bunch of the easier ap's

senior year eh

all abt junior yar

[wild locust]

I went from 4.0 gpa junior year to low 3.0 gpa senior or something

[viscid marlin]

gj

4.0

i rarely ever got 4.0

[wild locust]

My hs replaced grades if you got a 4-5 on ap so i actually had Bs in calc and chem

But on transcript its changed so i was chilling

[viscid marlin]

that's fire

we did that for humanities ap's only

[viscid marlin]

but that would've been a savior

gpa would go from low 3.8 to high 3.9

[wild locust]

Wouldve been nice to use that policy more tho

[viscid marlin]

fr

most schools don't

[wild locust]

My friends slacked off in humanities aps to lock in on harder classes then just replaced their grade with the ap

I put too much mental energy into all subjects and burnt out too fast

[viscid marlin]

that's smart for heavy stem ppl

that was other way around for me tho (humanities grind)

[wild locust]

Now theres no more strategy and no more grade inflation 🥀

Ts too hard

Just study study study

I slacked off on that and am getting cooked

[viscid marlin]

thankfully we have a semester

unlike quarter systems

[wild locust]

Icl quarter system would prolly be better for instilling “locking in” mindset

[viscid marlin]

true but burnout fast

[wild locust]

The midterm schedules are essentially quarter system-esque anyway

Midterm so frequent

Actually pmo

[viscid marlin]

ikr

i have one in about 1 hr and 39 minutes

[wild locust]

💀

I just took one

[viscid marlin]

how was it

[wild locust]

Not him, Adam Killa up close. But everyone was acting so NPC-like

[haughty moth]

out of all the places he picked sunlife

which is why a lot of ppl didnt go

i happened to pass by on my bike which is the only reason i saw the guy

guys which school is better for finance, Leventhal School of Accounting or Marshall School of Business?

Leventhal School of Accounting has specific Accounting and Finance major (i like both), while Marshall School of Business is quite broad (Business Administration). but i was considering the overall reputation in Finance like which one has higher job opportunity if i want to work in Finance/ Accounting industry?

[haughty moth]

there should not be a significant difference between the 2 in terms of finance job ops

im econ and plenty of people here get finance internships as well, largely depends on your strategy for recruiting instead of your major (especially if its acct fin vs buad which is close to no difference reputation wise)

i will say though finance is very different industry than accounting

[viscid marlin]

probably leventhal

[viscid marlin]

Marshall has so many ppl, but probably can get more individualized resources at leventhal

[haughty moth]

leventhal is in marshall my guy

and they have nothing for finance anyways bc accounting is so different

[viscid marlin]

Yeah that’s true, but not in the same “business administration” so many are in.

[viscid marlin]

Got a good point there tho

[haughty moth]

what difference does it make if u have bs buad vs bs acct/fin on your resume when you will put marshall school of business anyways

there's no upside for just going accounting for finance when half the classes aren't relevant and there's less support

[viscid marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-21327280

Funny meme

[viscid marlin]

Damnn

[haughty moth]

i mean it is true

every finance grad is the same

[viscid marlin]

Facts

[haughty moth]

but that also applies for accounting or accounting/fin

if ur trying to go finance there is no difference outcomes wise i'm like 99% sure

[viscid marlin]

Yeah you right. Some people may just not include Marshall on their resume though

Rare but possible

[haughty moth]

then they are making some questionable choices

lmao

even the big4 people put marshall school of business on linkedin

[viscid marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-21327280

[haughty moth]

instead of accounting

[haughty moth]

im legit working a finance job this summer as well 😭 im not even in any of these majors

[viscid marlin]

that's valid as an econ major

most ivies have no buad so the econ peeps get the jp morgan goldman sachs spots

[lethal sierra]

does usc give good finaid

[viscid marlin]

yeah as long as your family is below a salary line

[haughty moth]

ymmv the only way to know for sure is to run the npc

[lethal sierra]

it's giving me around 50k cost of attendance😭

[haughty moth]

well uh that's a bit cooked

i'll just say though, the only reason im here is bc of roi. im doing master's in 4 years

so it's worth it for me to pay out a bit extra to get this vs 6 yrs of a state schooling

[lethal sierra]

are you in state

[haughty moth]

ya

i ran the plans and numbers after i got acceptance back and committed here, never looked back

[lethal sierra]

I haven't started the supps so im prob gonna switch to rd

[haughty moth]

i got in rd

[lethal sierra]

oh ok, the costs are still making me hesitant esp when im applying for a diff major

[haughty moth]

just see if the 4 year ms works for you if you can

if u can make it work it's super worth it

https://academicprograms.usc.edu/services/curriculum/progressive-degree-programs/

[lethal sierra]

ms nursing ended last year which is my main major for bs so yea

[haughty moth]

ah ur nursing

just save the money then

nothing wrong with that

[wild locust]

nursing?

just csuf maxx

[odd flicker]

ohhhh i see, thank youuu for ur reply!

[odd flicker]

thanksss for ur insight

[odd flicker]

so the major accounting and finance focuses more to accounting? while the major finance of marshall school of business focus more on finance?

[haughty moth]

i mean yes but also no, 90% of the classes you take will be the same

technically you will do more accounting in the acct/finance major but its only 1 or 2 class difference

thats why it doesn't really matter which one you do

[viscid marlin]

Morning dalone

[haughty moth]

gday m8

[haughty moth]

btw for buad you have to also declare finance emphasis but its very low hassle process

and once you do this then you get the like 90% overlap

[viscid marlin]

real

i am doing finance minor rn and i take a few similar classes

[viscid marlin]

BUAD 306 most notably

[odd flicker]

ohhhh i seee

[odd flicker]

okaayyy thank you soo muchh!

[odd flicker]

guys why cant i find the second supplemental essay about

Many of us have at least one issue or passion that we care deeply about – a topic on which we would love to share our opinions and insights in hopes of sparking intense interest and continued conversation. If you had ten minutes and the attention of a million people, what would your talk be about?*

i remember seeing this in commonapp but i just checked and it's gone

[wild locust]

Isnt this the dornsife essay

[odd flicker]

what is dornsife essay

is it the liberal arts and sciences college within the University of Southern California?

[wild locust]

Prolly

I vaguely remember essays will change if you select major in certain department

Prolly

I forget lwk

[odd flicker]

i want to major in Accounting and Finance. but theres no choice of that in the 'academics' section. so i clicked these majors

and yea the supplemental is gone

i think bcs i changed the major

[wild locust]

Ye ig marshall doesnt have that supp

[odd flicker]

ohhh omg okay

[odd flicker]

thank you lots!

[odd flicker]

btw what does MBUS stands for?

[wild locust]

No idea

[odd flicker]

alrightt thanks

[stray crag]

that's just how they be naming the majors

i think it stands for the school

marshall school of business

or smth idk

[odd flicker]

ohhhh i seee

thankyouuu!

[haughty moth]

marshall school of business

and the supplement you described is only for dornsife majors, marshall has different stuff

[odd flicker]

ohh i see, thank youu lots!

[plain surge]

very random but what is this

idk anything about frat or sorority or what but i thought delta phi meant something like that

[wild locust]

A pre professional society

Basically a frat they act like a frat

Maybe less hazing?

[plain surge]

😭

[wild locust]

Who knows

[plain surge]

thats so odd

ok thx

[wild locust]

They seem sketchy so i stayed away

[plain surge]

damn really ....

i like the message but why make it into like a frat type situation

[wild locust]

they wanna have fun

[plain surge]

thats fair i am just biased against them

[wild locust]

I think its not that sketchy

They probably just want to use the big little system for mentoring

Maybe the founders thought greek letters for greek life was “sigma”

[viscid marlin]

What the sigma

[viscid marlin]

should be able to

if not, do accounting leventhal 2nd option (still kinda counts as marshall)

[haughty moth]

or econ

prob not worth putting twice either way

[viscid marlin]

econ good too

real estate

do it

:)

yes

real estate dips into usc price

while also doing marshall stuff

all of the above

[haughty moth]

ik 3 diff people in econ here with ib offers

u can do it from econ here

as long as ur in the clubs n stuff

[viscid marlin]

it's hardest to get into ironically

[haughty moth]

ya

thats my major as well

[viscid marlin]

real estate's probably easier to get into since price isn't as competitive (im in it )

[haughty moth]

yeah but who wants to do re

to go ib

is that the goal here

[viscid marlin]

yeah but it can just be a second choice

[vernal mortar]

Lmaooo

[viscid marlin]

to get into usc, it's solid as well

[haughty moth]

you could also consider accounting and finance

the dual

no

https://catalogue.usc.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=21&poid=30709&returnto=8873

interesting

ig u could put accounting? or econ maybe

[viscid marlin]

i mean doesn't hurt to put it as an option

[haughty moth]

is ib the goal here btw

[viscid marlin]

i am in public pollicy school

[haughty moth]

so ur wharton or bust

ah

[viscid marlin]

i feel so disconnected from entire usc student body

but it's really good for specialized students

[short canopy]

how much of an advantage is usc ea vs rd

[plain surge]

after u get admitted by major can u change ur major at all

im still torn inbetween my first and second choice

[wild locust]

Ea guarantees you two considerations ig

Cuz no such thing as rejection out of ea

Guaranteed deferred

Icl this is rarer and rarer as years go by

get in ea and its more likely to not get a merit scholarship

I am poor

The school is in debt and budget deficit

Im wearing a ucla hat on campus rn

[viscid marlin]

It is harder for ea

Because you have less time to write your essay

[viscid marlin]

Easy target

[wild locust]

same amount of time (everyone writes the whole thing on the last day)

[viscid marlin]

I wrote my USC essay in the middle of December

So that’s valid

[wild locust]

i finished my app today last year

get on top of allat

i didn't start until 11 pm pst but like

ye

bro i put schindler's list its not that deep

the very few non one piece things on those supps

[haughty moth]

not much

fwiw i got in rd

[haughty moth]

yes just put your top major as whatever's harder to transfer in and out of

most of the dorsnife majors you can just ask to switch and you're fine

[plain surge]

is there anyway id know which one that is 😓 sorry idk anything... its sociology vs. global health studies.. id assume global health would be harder bcs its a B.S /keck?

[haughty moth]

ya

[plain surge]

ok tysm

[haughty moth]

sociology definitely easier to switch into

[plain surge]

tysm 😭😭

[stray crag]

yep

[viscid marlin]

No

Yes

[wild locust]

The short answers are not that much thinking vro

Theres like 5 of yall asking nonstop questions about these 🥀

The real strat is to think up something on the spot

And never change it

This isnt an inherently serious college

This is a silly university with money laundering and tax fraud

In trying to be niche you become depressingly performative

True nicheness cannot be achieved with effort

Its something innate to your soul

[haughty moth]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[stray crag]

guys

short answers are not evaluative

just wing them

i literally wrote about olaf and snowgies and a song about eggs and chickens

[versed narwhal]

It’sharder to transfer into the more competitive schools like viterbi Marshall sca but u still can do it

If you’re changing majors within a school it’s hella easy

[viscid marlin]

not stupid

[ivory inlet]

?

🤔

[haughty moth]

whoever wants to go to dodgers parade w me

i will be there no matter what

[wild locust]

when is allat

[agile hedge]

is 1450 fine for marshall?

[viscid marlin]

yeah

how's the rest of the app looking?

[agile hedge]

3.98 uw gpa school doesnt rank outside 10% but im just outside im p sure

applying for buai and have ecs related to both ai and business

[haughty moth]

better than mine already

LMAO

[viscid marlin]

near perfect uw that is good

take many advanced classes?

[viscid marlin]

same

[agile hedge]

yea i got like 12 aps

[viscid marlin]

ya that's solid, usually having a high sat helps for those with slightly lower gpa

[agile hedge]

is the ai business major more competitive than normal ba?

[viscid marlin]

i assume it is

but probably not by much

[agile hedge]

think its like capped at 60 people

[viscid marlin]

dang

[agile hedge]

but idk how many people apply

[viscid marlin]

there's also a business + cs major

joint major

[agile hedge]

yea but i did ed

[viscid marlin]

ooh

hope you get in ED :)

[haughty moth]

buai is more competitive than buad and csba

[agile hedge]

so it was only marshall

[haughty moth]

yes

[viscid marlin]

even csba wow

[agile hedge]

wow

[haughty moth]

yes

bc theres no slots

in buai

its too new

[viscid marlin]

real

but there is hope

[haughty moth]

same as that other one marshall has w iya

[viscid marlin]

i met some friends in IYA

they are cool

[agile hedge]

if u had to estimate how many people apply to buai?

[viscid marlin]

probably 1000

rough guess

and they'd accept more than 60 since some would commit elsewhere

[haughty moth]

but there's also ed

no one knows bc of that

[viscid marlin]

ed might help

actually

:)

[agile hedge]

hopefully

[haughty moth]

it's fine you'll probably get in

if i did anyone can

[kind tinsel]

Ding!

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.
