<p>Anyone have anything else better to do to to help the time pass until decisions are released? lol</p>
<p>Take up a hobby, or catch up on all the TV, movies, music, and books you had to put aside over the past few months while working on college apps.</p>
<p>…and I hate to say it, but homework may be a good idea if you’re a current hs student…</p>
<p>Haha you probably won’t get a decision til mid March or early April! The waiting sucks!!!</p>
<p>I’m actually doing some of my homework (surprising even to me :P) and watching ridiculous amounts of shows on my TV and online. Currently about to start Season 4 of Dexter online and I have a weekly TV schedule of about 7-8 shows :)</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a transfer. I’ve been waiting since the end of November. I’ll find out in MAY probably. You’ll find out next month or so. </p>
<p>You have it pretty good :D</p>
<p>Hahaha I caught up on the Office today.</p>
<p>I’ve been looking for dexter online! where did you find it?</p>
<p>thepiratebay?</p>
<p>I torrent it but seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix and otherwise you can use tvduck.</p>
<p>i’m having such a hard time trying to get my mind off of usc. i can’t wait anymore!</p>
<p>Do they still do admissions in waves?</p>
<p>Hey mclax8!
Scan the FRONT PAGE of this forum and you will find a thread with your EXACT QUESTION. :)</p>
<p>So are decisions usually given before April?</p>
<p>yeah in the past they have started sending out acceptances in early march and all throughout, but i heard somewhere that this year theyre sending all of them out around march 20th. that could be untrue though, and i hope it is because then theres the possibility of getting it earlier…!</p>
<p>I hate this whole not knowing thing!!! They need to go ahead and tell us. Lol</p>
<p>To pass some time you could look at the [Fall</a> 2011 | Schedule of Classes](<a href=“http://web-app.usc.edu/soc/term_20113.html]Fall”>302 Found) and figure out what courses you will take when you are accepted…</p>
<p>I spent a good while looking at the fall 2011 schedule…I know I’m going to get my final GE’s out of the way that had to be taken at USC done in the first semester I’m there.</p>
<p>Alamemom, do you know how registration times are selected? Is it based on number of units or is it a lottery of some kind?</p>
<p>It depends :)</p>
<p>For continuing students, a registration appointment time is assigned based on number of units and then random assignments. That is, all students with 97 units would register before all students with 96 units, for example, and among all students with 97 units there would be random assignment of a registration appointment. (The registration appointment is just a time when you can submit your classes online - you don’t have to go in for an “appointment.”) The appointments will be in April (they have already been assigned).</p>
<p>For freshmen, they register at their summer orientation. Spots are held for sections in the most popular GEs for each orientation, so those with the earliest orientation do not have a great advantage (though they do have a bit of an advantage, because they can get hints here on CC of how to sneak in and grab spots from later orientation sessions 
).</p>
<p>Transfers register dead last - sorry! (Just for their first semester - after that transfers are “continuing students.”) The good news is that they are not generally competing with freshmen for the GEs, and USC will often open new sections of classes if the existing sections fill up. The bad news is that the sections that will be available will tend to be early-morning ones (and “early-morning” at USC is defined as “before 11am” ) and the dreaded Friday sections.</p>
<p>USC tries to have sufficient sections for everyone who needs them - they are not experiencing the overcrowding and class cut-backs that some of our public universities are facing currently.</p>
