<p>If I get into USC, I'm almost definitely going to go there. I'm not sending in any more applications if I get in. (Hopefully I'll know in December!) The only other school that might sway me is App State, but I think USC is it.</p>
<p>Anyways, hopefully I'm not jumping the gun, but I'm curious to get to know the other students that I might be going to school with for the next four years.</p>
<p>So if you think you'll be a member of the class of 2015 post here and tell about yourself. lol</p>
<p>USC is not my first choice, but I applied. From PA</p>
<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>How’d you choose to apply to USC? What is your first choice?</p>
<p>well I didn’t want to stay too close to home and I was looking for big schools. I like the weather in the south, visited USC during the summer and liked it enough to apply. </p>
<p>My first choice is probably Penn State, but I liked Clemson too. I think I have the best chance to get accepted at USC though, because I don’t have great stats.</p>
<p>I applied and will go if I receive any of the scholarships with instate tutition and Honors College. Other option is UMCP</p>
<p>ron what are your stats?</p>
<p>3.4 Weighted gpa, 1840 sat (1200 m+cr). I did finish junior year with a 3.85 gpa though, hopefully that counts for something.</p>
<p>Your stats are roughly the same as mine.</p>
<p>3.43 weighted GPA, 1820 SAT (1230 m+cr). And I finished junior year with Honors.</p>
<p>Hope we both get in! =)</p>
<p>I applied last week.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I’m going to attend. I am applying to 12 schools and I’m also applying for a AROTC and NROTC scholarship, so crappy financial aid won’t hold me back from attending one of my “top” schools (assuming I do ROTC). But getting a ROTC scholarship is not guaranteed and I applied really late. </p>
<p>In-state, I could go to Ohio State, which is a pretty good school. It probably has a better rep than South Carolina, but I am looking for something different and USC may end up being cheaper because of a scholarship. Plus, OSU and USC are both kind of regional schools, i.e. if I go to OSU, I’m probably going to end up working in Ohio or maybe Indy (some OSU grads end up in Chicago, but not a lot. I don’t know if this is preference or if Chicago companies don’t recruit OSU that hard, with other great schools close by) and if I go to USC, I’ll probably end up working in the Carolinas. Charlotte is very appealing to me as a business major with the presence of a lot of banks in that area. I plan on majoring in International Business and maybe doubling it with poli sci or Finance if I go to USC and I know USC has one of the best Intl biz programs in the country.</p>
<p>I have not visited USC either. Not yet at least. I’m definitely going to visit if I’m seriously considering USC come April.</p>
<p>wildandyoung, you made some very good points, but I have a few more to consider. USC is considerably smaller than OSU, but still pretty large. I am not as familiar with OSU’s recruiting, but a ton of USC grads also end up in Atlanta and more and more are moving to Chicago and NYC each year. Finally, the International Business program is #1, which is a great accolade to play up when interviewing for jobs or grad school. I hope you choose USC!</p>
<p>I got the Questbridge College Match Scholarship for USC. So I’m going there for sure~</p>
<p>Hi! I applied too and it’s my first choice as well. I’m from Massachusetts and applied to six schools total and already received an acceptance letter from the other SC school I applied to. Interested to major in Criminal Justice/minor in Psych. Go gamecocks!</p>
<p>Umass is more highly rated than USCC, and is a top party school!!</p>
<p>When will EA admission decisions be coming out? Can one find out online or do you have to wait for the mail?</p>
<p>Not sure about that, but I’m pretty sure it’s mail-only.</p>
<p>And they’ll be released the week of December 13, provided that you sent everything in on time. Ideally, you’ll find out on December 15 (the Wednesday).</p>
<p>Their website says that the majority of applicants are deferred to regular decision, but you can receive acceptance or denial at that time.</p>
<p>I’m nervous.</p>
<p>My admissions counselor said you are only notified by mail, and don’t be worried if you receive the letter a day or two late.</p>
<p>I applied EA and find out early next week as well. I live in DC tho, but SC is my top choice basically. UVA choice isn’t looking good.</p>
<p>A girl from my school goes to UVA now. She was in the class of 10.</p>
<p>I’m so flipping nervous… I just want my decision letter already.</p>
<p>got my acceptance letter today around 10 am. :)</p>
<p>CONGRATS!!! How did you find out? Was it online, or did you get the letter in the mail?</p>
