[@arnavbedi123]

[@JuanGomez-ri9ok]

Any advice?

[@whatthesigma0211]

Yoo same LOL

[@sonimbetterthanyou]

I went here for a year hurt my knee and my scholarship was pulled so back to Ohio. Graduated Ohio State but I really enjoyed my year at USC. The campus is really nice and its always had a chill vibe. Its not University of Spoiled Kids anymore, people from all walks of life go there.

[@karimrupshi1154]

dogeatdog12345 what was your highschool GPA when you got into USC?

[@jakart4615]

When you wanna do a campus your, but quarantine says no... :):

USC is one of the best universities in the North America with world reputation located in Los Angeles.

[@pacifist1360]

Thanks for your comment! I think USC is one of the best places to get an education anywhere on the planet. I believe that their music program and that of Indiana University are the top two in the country, perhaps better than Juilliard.

USC is one of the most corrupt universities in the North America

[@pacifist1360]

OMG this campus looks stunning on camera, I can imagine how beautiful it is to be there in person. The sad part is, I have the grades to get accepted to USC but my piano playing is not close to the level to get admitted to their program. I worked my butt off to become a great pianist but had very bad musical training. If only I studied with the right piano professor 10 years ago, I would have been admitted 8 years ago, only ifs, I hate the word if.

[@aiemiiyo4244]

Could you convince them? :(

[@sandrauhlein4317]

It is. My Alum 1991.

[@pacifist1360]

@@aiemiiyo4244 I can convince them of course if I study with the right piano professor. But I won't apply unless I am really good because I don't plan on taking out student loans. If I get into USC Thornton with a very good audition, I can also get a scholarship. I need to practice like a dog to get there though. I haven't been practicing piano much at all due to COVID sadly and I know that I should. That's because concert spaces have been closed so I lost a lot of motivation to practice since it's almost impossible for anybody to perform in front of people nowadays. I also work a lot, so that's that. Hopefully I'll get back into it at some point.

[@paytonsample]

@@pacifist1360 It's not about where you go but what you make of the place! It's a boring platitude to hear but it's true. Focusing on one singular school shouldn't be the goal. I do wish you the best with whatever you end up doing :)

[@sharpayevans4356]

my dream school 😍

[@SoLA489]

Each year, USC is lowering the acceptance rate for admissions and it’s concerning me because it’s the only school I want to go to for journalism. In 2019 11% of applicants were only accepted. The lowest in USC history. However, a large chunk of the applicants accepted are from CA community colleges which is where I’m going in the meantime for my GE.

[@inaandamaraju8464]

we got lucky this year they increased acceptance rates !!

[@Kevin-it4fh]

I have a feeling that they're artificially lowering it to make it more "elite"

[@Smylesss]

Kevin They’re accepting the same amount of people every year, they’re just having more and more people apply. also it’s already a very elite school so i don’t think they need to do that

[@Kevin-it4fh]

@@Smylesss it's not as pronounced as with Stanford, but they can still probably take in more students if they wanted to, but won't because it doesn't make them look as elite.

[@Justin-ev8nn]

Kevin You can say that about any school. Stanford could accept more people as well, but they choose not to to make themselves more elite.

[@musicalbean894]

When you want to go here but live in england Im honestly working my absolute hardest in hope of going here... gotta get amazing grades, earn a lot of money somehow during covid cause international tuition is insane, convince my parents to let me move country (even though i really wish it wasnt so far away from them) ... wish me luck

[@urbestielily]

If you apply to USC before 1 December (any year you are gonna apply), you can get considered for scholarship. And from what I hear, they give amazing scholarships so that sh help you a bit. I hsve 2 more years to go until university and this is where I wanna go for sure!

congrats!

[@marksummers463]

Before you chose a university, check out a piece titled The Hatchet Man's Playbook. There's a REALLY interesting chapter on the pluses & minuses of attending an elite university - and there are some surprising minuses. For example, while attending an elite university can get you on the short lists of a few top-flight companies, it can also completely eliminate you from consideration from the vast majority of lesser employers whose managers are afraid you will take THEIR jobs if they hire you - an interesting bit of trivia nobody explained to me when I was university shopping. Also, there's a tremendous tendency towards localism in the business community, something else I didn't know. I thought the best candidate naturally got the job. (LOL!) Not a chance. Old-boy/alumni networks rule! For example, at one time, something like 40% of the judges in CA were graduates of USC Law School - not Harvard, not Yale, not Stanford. USC . ( I graduated from Irvine, BTW.) In Texas, the dominant schools are Baylor, A & M, & UT. They basically run the state. So before you choose a university, do your homework & see how strong the alumni associations are! At one time, Irvine's was run by a UCSB graduate, if that tells you anything.

Stunning university. I barely missed the app deadline for transfer, but got accepted to USD, which is beautiful in its own right.

[@jollybee515]

[@pacifist1360]

Me too. Don't know if I will ever make it, too many missed opportunities for me.

[@phantomkiller197]

Turned this place down for Berkeley, but I still think about the what ifs lol

[@thfpsalditnzk6336]

Oh boy, I hope you can handle the 200 student classes taught by teacher assistants instead of the actual professors at Cal. You go to Berkeley for their famed research...none of which is conducted by undergrads...

whats the song!!

[@JohnSmith-yf5bk]

Can someone please explain the hype around this place? It’s literally like a fancier, flat version of UCLA. Dirty brick floors, crowds, and since you’re in the heart of LA far from the ocean, terrible stale heat and pollution. Not to mention crime basically in all directions out of campus…I can’t imagine why someone would want to go here over somewhere else like UCSB unless it’s solely to be around hot students and party with wealthy kids during their college years. There’s public schools with campuses that look “private” compared to this!

city looks horrible, very sunny and not that great, like India the weather, But I like the hughes Electrical Engineering building. My goal however is the school of dramatic arts for 2017. I am from the Bay Area, Now this is the place to be! The music made it something else to watch and the 60HD was good. I was almost tired midway but I didn't give up watched the whole thing and I commend you to film the whole thing. Did you get the whole campus?

[@esjd812]

omid dorrani he’s from the Bay Area he’s prone to hate anywhere that isn’t gloomy and cold, especially SoCal

[@Justin-ev8nn]

So many people want to move to SoCal just for their great, sunny weather.

UCLA is much more beautiful. And I trully didn't find USC in first 100 universities in QR ranking 2020, but I saw UCLA on 14 or 17 place.

[@Justin-ev8nn]

Well, UCLA is located in West LA. USC is ranked 22 (I think) in the US News Ranking with UCLA being 20 or so.

It's like a flatter version of UCLA. 😛

I really hope and encourage Native American students to not apply to this university. They are terrible to Native American applicants and students. UCLA and Stanford does a better job for Native American applicants and students. Other than that its a waste of money to attend this school.

[@monicarose1021]

Good to know! Was looking around for grad school since I considered them for undergrad, but now I know :/

[@garrettgonzales7614]

Or you could just go to ASU!!

[@garrettgonzales7614]

Also I am Native American as well as a veteran and Cali has been my home so this has been my goal college for awhile now but ASU looks so good

[@drizzant23]

Garrett Gonzales That's Kool. What tribe? Yes I encourage you to try ASU. In fact ASU does well with Native American applicants. So does UCLA. Stanford is ify but somewhat better then USC as well. So my suggestion is to look into ASU and UCLA. They will definitely consider you for being a vet as well.

[@drizzant23]

Garrett Gonzales Plus USC doesn't have a Native American recruiter, so there is no one to advocate for us. They have a multi-cultural recruiter but they are both terrible.

[@fcukingsginvain1746]

It’s a degree mill. Useless “university”

[@sergiobeltran8258]

No need to comment unless you are an alumni.

[@Justin-ev8nn]

It’s only “useless” if you don’t do shit. A lot of my friends (business kids) ended up in Investment banking or consulting and are making six figures coming out of undergrad. You clearly don’t understand how to utilize resources.

[@JohnSmith-yf5bk]

Google the term “degree mill” before you use it…
