do they consider your high school ecs n stuff to decide if you can switch

prime dew

#

if I decide I want to do business can I apply to marshall and have a shot

haughty moth

#

Just Gpa. Marshall might be different but might also be gpa as well

haughty moth
#

u have to take econ 351 and writ 150 and 3.8 gpa i think

ideally as in both of those classes

So youā€™re saying EA / ED commits

This makes sense ig

#

oops

haughty moth
#

was fun tho the class became much more discusssiony

#

vs lecturey

next loom
#

Can someone explain this

#

Like how do u have a 3.9 just with 2 Bs

#

I have a 3.9 but with 4B+, 1B, and 2A-

left quartz
left quartz
next loom
#

I truly get so confused when people say they have like half the Bs as me but the same gpa

#

Cuz thereā€™s like 40 other classes. Only thing to make sense is if u got a ton of A- or t lying

left quartz
next loom
#

Mine is truly UW

left quartz
#

Doesnā€™t mean theirs is

next loom
#

I see but that would be super strict if 2Bs are -0.5 off ur total hs gpa

left quartz
#

One of my high schools did all letter grade types but in practice we only did 1.0 intervals

#

So A+ A and A- were all 4.0, B+ B and B- were all 3.0, etc

#

That was for UW

#

Weighted was 0.5 honors boost 1.0 AP boost

next loom
#

Ye that makes sense my school is 3.7 A- 3.3 B+ 3.0 B 2.7 B-

next loom
#

Thx for info though

left quartz
#

Is this people within your school?

next loom
#

No itā€™s people from other schools. I just get so confused cuz it feels like my school gpa is inflated or something the way others say they have like 2Bs and the same gpa as me with like 5 of them when itā€™s completely unweighted

#

my college grades r so much better

Diff college prep in the area but holy inflation

Wait not this

#

That was 21-22 of the same school

This is it

This one does 1 extra point for all of AP DE and honors

#

Also does grade cutoffs on the .5%

#

So 89.5%-100% is an A

haughty moth
#

well ig it is inflated tho so not much diff

tribal drum
#

does anyone know if csba at usc is good

#

idk why i applied for it but can i switch majors whats it even godo for

haughty moth
#

that is a viterbi major so switching within engineering is prob not too hard

#

marshall possible too but u would have to still apply i think

haughty moth
olive girder
haughty moth
#

change my mind

olive girder
#

but i couldnt find a major

#

for that

haughty moth
#

yeah there is no data sci major

#

u have to do with econ

olive girder
#

either data sci or stats

haughty moth
#

but

olive girder
#

no statistics major

haughty moth
#

its so much better than the viterbi stuff

#

they dont teach u anything there

#

well ig if u dont want to do like business related maybe u could do more cs type stuff

#

but econ just makes sense

olive girder
#

fair enough

haughty moth
#

unironically all the ppl ik in econ data sci are killing it career wise

#

so

#

well tbh everyone here does well career wise

olive girder
#

i mean that's always going to be true its usc

#

yea

short gulch
#

Or are you only talking about econ + viterbi combined majors (idk what Iā€™m talking about) not viterbi in general

haughty moth
# short gulch Fr???

well my take is simply that in in order to learn the proper statistical analysis u have to do something more than just data sci

#

like a way to think w it not just applied analytics or a cs data science thing

#

if u want to do viterbi my opinion is to do a pure cs pure analytics degree etc bc then you get the depth

#

but if ur doing something eng adjacent then you do need some thing else with it

#

idk if that makes sense thats just my thought

short gulch
#

Yeah it makes sense

they mentioned (this was in an email too) over 80,000 applicants to the whole school, 12,500+ to viterbi, and theyā€™re expecting to have an engineering class of ~450

what are the best freshman dorms at USC? (top 3 and why)

#

need help lerning abt housing

haughty moth
#

it depends

light moth
# fleet wharf what are the best freshman dorms at USC? (top 3 and why)

i looked into this earlier. seems like its pretty major dependent and based on how social of an experience you want. They have dorms suites and apartments. Im gonna put the honors suites as my top choice if I get one of those scholarships, if not ill put parkside bc im a viterbi admit and dont want to go to LA without AC.

the dorms are better for being social though. id just be better off with AC and without communal bathrooms.

short gulch
#

Are suites less social??? Also as a fellow viterbi admit, whoā€™s kinda nerdy but actually wants a social life in college what would you recommend??

#

Which ones have AC?

prime dew
#

I prob misspelled it but ya

#

But most engineering majors get stuck in Parkside

#

So if u want a bit of like diversity def recommend birkcrant

fleet wharf
fleet wharf
#

have any of you'll admitted students been notified about any merit scholarship update? its coming out on jan 30- but im not sure whether they communicate anything earlier..

fleet wharf
#

which dorm would u suggest

short gulch
haughty moth
#

there r floors in birnk that won't talk and there are suites in parkside where all 8 people are super nice and will chat n stuff

#

in freshman yr there was an apartment in webb i went to all the time and that place is not rlly considered social either

#

IN GENERAL the typical student would probably like the 3 dorms that aren't new north and also parkside, but ultimately it is up to you and other students to "make it" social etc

muted glen
#

any thoughts on when financial aid / scholarship info will be avaiable? i already know late jan but it feels like its been a while, i completely understand a lot of people apply and get in and stuff to usc though so it could be a while more

short gulch
#

I think itā€™s the 30th??

vapid osprey
#

is the midyear report required for RD

toxic bone
#

yes

fleet whale
short gulch
#

Also would you recommend parkside IRC or A&H? Iā€™m leaning towards A&H

short gulch
#

Cuz I think itā€™s slightly more social. Like I donā€™t need to go to parties 24/7, I just want a small group of ppl I can bond with

haughty moth
#

okay idk where yall are getting this info

#

parkside is suite only for freshmen bc apartments is underclassmen housing

#

parkside has ac

#

and one of the freshmen im mentoring for a club has told me he is the only viterbi kid in his entire suite of 8

#

there is also no significant difference between irc and a&h, except the fact that irc is next door to the dining hall and a&h has music rooms

#

Personally even as Viterbi student I really do not think how close ur department is matters because trust me ur class will be everywhere ur first year

And also this is my personal opinion I think Web tower is the best dorm at usc

ya i get that

but i still think its close vs the gtechs of the world

or nyu

#

or even ivies peeposhrug

it does depend on ur financial situation ofc

fleet whale

wait Iā€™m interested

haughty moth
#

like lets say u get full ride usc

fleet whale
#

is Oxford one

haughty moth
#

and u also get caltech

#

sure oxford idk

#

but they have a lot lower tuition

#

and they are like top 2 uk so maybe its worth

#

but if ur a cs guy and your choice is full ride usc and caltech

#

its close

alpine belfry
fleet whale
#

depends on how nerdy they are

haughty moth
#

and then i think pres is 3/4 associates is 1/2

#

deans is 1/4

#

dont quote me on that

alpine belfry
#

i see

haughty moth
#

now how many of the 150 are in each bucket i couldn't tell you

alpine belfry

iā€™d imagine that trustee is <30

and then ā€œfew hundreds moreā€ for deans and leadership

so basically my usc aura is dead

they have a policy on this i forgot what its called

bruh šŸ™

#

I mean tbf 65k COA is so much better than 100k

fleet whale

the only question is if national merit counts for that (which it probably does)

I mean yeah, cuz itā€™s money the school gives you, not the $2500 one NMSQT gives you

but usually they say send it asap

and the deadlins usually by mid-feb

This is an insult to the effort it took to get in. Why even accept me if you're going to put the value of your education above any reasonable amount anyone can pay? Shit is a scam. Don't go unless you have a rich daddy or something.

#

yeah let me ask my dad to pay A THIRD OF HIS YEARLY INCOME for me to go to college. its not like he has to spend it on children and food and idk, LIVING.

#

we don't even have half of that in our savings and checkings combined

#

this is why i hated getting accepted

#

no merit no financial aid, just reject me if you're going to give me that. be realisitic here

# haughty moth anyways im econ

R u in Dornsife or Marshall?? And whatā€™s the difference? Im just curious cuz my friend is a freshman majoring in economics but sheā€™s in dornsife

haughty moth
#

i was in marshall for a bit

#

econ is way more theoretical, no curves more emphasis on tests etc, marshall u take more of the business stereotypical classes like comms organizational behavior entrepreneurship

#

imo econ is way more useful

everyone who's legacy got deferred from my school

wild locust
#

Usc says they still do legacy but really it doesnt do shit if ur not a huge donor or have a good app that fits

wary sedge
#

I'd say that if it was 1 or 2 but at least 5 legacy applications getting deferred and none in is a pattern

wild locust
#

I mean they still need fit

#

Theres 500000 people in the trojan family

#

They have relatives

#

They all legacy

#

Legacy dont do shit

wary sedge
#

I personally think it helped my brother but idk

paper trail
#

Like colleges werenā€™t allowed to consider legacy as a factor

wild locust
#

Stanford and usc were like ā€œnahhhā€

#

And theres no like actual power behind the law

#

So they just do it anyway

paper trail
#

oh šŸ’€

wild locust
#

Which sucks cuz those are the two schools in california where legacy means anything

#

It was also banning donor admits which is fucking cringe that they just decided to ignore

#

You dont need allat money if its hella corrupt

Isnā€™t USC in like a big financial crisis

no

At USC, something unspoken hangs in the air: Do not be the one who cares more. Do not want too much. And absolutely do not ask, ā€œWhat are we?ā€

Considering how much usc accepts from my school and California schools in general, I feel like it's gotta have some impact
