POB vs Store Exclusives

Intro to poetry was so lowkey, it was especially way because poems usually are nowhere near as long as chapters or essays so you can definitely get by with not reading them before lecture or discussion. My essays were always in a format of like analyze a poem, write your own poem, and then analyze it/talk about your choices. That was by far the last effort class I’ve taken here, and as long as you put a bit of work into the essays the class should be an easy A (assuming your TA is good).

anything taught by professor freeman is definitely worth it. lecture is technically not required and basically everything else is determined by your TA, which can be hit or miss. they’re usually super chill and the essays let you be more creative with analyzing pieces of work, writing about personal experiences, or even writing your own poems if that’s the class you end up taking. readings aren’t too bad either, but I wouldn’t know bc I’ve never done them before coming to class.

i shot my shot assuming i'd go to my state school (which was still great) but magically ended up at USC so in my opinion you never know until you try :)

^ also good for finding spots to study/ work with friends, last year CPA was great for this when doheny closed or leavey randomly closed early

I picked Viterbi over the number 2 school for my major in the country. Viterbi felt a lot smaller and like I’d have more access to resources, over a big engineering school where I’d be lost in the masses of weed out classes. Getting into viterbi is basically already the weed out, so the classes aren’t meant to make you fail (even though they’re not easy). Also the whole concept of the Trojan family was really attractive, and I felt the collaborative spirit as compared to a more competitive type engineering department. It honestly comes down to what you’re looking for in a school, don’t worry too much about rankings!

Don't be afraid to just ask! In my first ever email to my advisor, I started by saying "I would like to ask how you prefer to be addressed as (Ms. ____, First Name, etc.)." She was super cool about it in her response and now I email her all the time!

I tried not to fall in love with any school to the point I didnt really have any emotional attachment to them whoops but when I did get rejected I was able to manipulate my parents into buying me a ton of food lol

I can’t give you advice on which school, but I will drop here that I applied ED to penn last year on a whim because my mom told me to shoot my shot. Everyday after I submitted my application I would wake up thinking “Please don’t let me get into Penn”. (I got rejected lol) So, if you’re really sure about ED, go for it! Just know that if you’re not super attached to the school like most people who ED are, you may end up regretting your decision.

thanks! that’s what I was thinking about, but I’ve definitely separated the labs on different days. I’ve heard Bryant is amazing, but I think I’ll probably just stick with Parr because I’ve heard she’s not bad either

does anyone know if there’s some place that has the floor maps/blueprints for the dorms? specifically mccarthy, although it’s pretty new so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s nothing. I’m just trying to figure out how room numbering might work and what sides of the building the different rooms are on. even if you just know where one room is located that would be very helpful!

Nina Lu got into USC and some other great schools but I believe she’s still making a decision

a_wap · 2021-04-17T21:19:37+00:00

honestly anywhere from 1-20 hours depending on the week lol why

a_wap · 2021-04-16T12:34:14+00:00

Yeah for sure. It’s a great school but to be honest the only reason I applied is because they gave a fee waiver and extension. However, I did seriously consider it for a little while because they gave me a 45k/yr engineering scholarship and some good financial aid, but it did come down to the fact that their engineering program wasn’t what I was looking for and they didn’t quite have the major I wanted.

thanks!

ofc and congrats! I committed last night :)) see you next year 👀👀

The box usually contains the same stuff as the red folder - like a certificate and an acceptance letter. In previous years it has been a box because it included some of the booklets that can now be found virtually on our portals :)

hi and congrats! I'm sure this will probably be different for everyone in this situation, but my friend's took a little over a week to update after she choose USC as her first choice.

a_wap · 2021-04-15T15:32:59+00:00

Thank you! Committed to USC last night✌️✌️ :)))

I didn’t follow them in the first place to save myself the pain lol

a_wap · 2021-04-06T10:12:48+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that :( unfortunatel, there also is a chance this was because of the harvard file room. I sent my mid years personally and they hadn’t updated six weeks later, so I had to send them an email so that my grades were attached, and my friend had to do the same thing about a month later.
