Computer Science/Business Administration & Spring Admit

<p>Unfortunately I got in only as a Spring Admit into the Computer Science/Business Administration program. I feel disappointed, but maybe I should not be feeling this way.</p>

<p>Several questions:
1. Was the Computer Science/Business Administration major difficult to get into? Did I get accepted at both Viterbi and Marshall--the document I received only specified Viterbi, but is not business administration a Marshall major?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is Computer Science/Business Administration a particularly difficult major in terms of coursework? Is this the equivalent of a double major?</p></li>
<li><p>Can I go to a normal university, e.g. my local state university's honors college or even a prestigious school like UChicago, instead of a community college before going to USC? My state university's honors college's term ends on December 9.</p></li>
<li><p>How will housing work? Will I get the "leftovers," i.e. worst dorms?</p></li>
<li><p>My main issue is that USC believes I am one of the lesser qualified students or not a perfect fit for USC. I realize USC states that it is need-blind, but is it possible that my decision was due to my letter, and then follow-up details, regarding my parent's lost job? Is it possible that USC wanted to wait until my parent got another job or decrease my time as a freshman, so they will not have to provide more aid? Or was this decision purely based on admissions?</p></li>
<li><p>I might receive biased answers, but please be honest. Are Spring admits alienated or treated with less respect at USC? It seems they generally have lower stats.</p></li>
<li><p>What is the likelihood of being bumped up to Fall term? When will I be notified in the event that I am bumped up to Fall term?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I am especially interested in Questions #3 and #7.</p>

<p>Regarding #7, is there any possibility I could be notified before May 1? According to my USC Spring packet, I have to confirm my intent by May 2 and my enrollment deposit must be in by 9/1/11, so it seems like a long shot; but I really need to know whether I can go during Fall and not just have a small chance.</p>

<p>Answering any other question would be great too.</p>

<p>Hi~, sorry I don’t have any answers for you, but just wanted to say as a fellow spring admit that I totally understand everything you wrote-- especially your statements #3, #4, #5, and #7. …Really #5.</p>

<p>As for question 3-- dude, if you got into UCHI, just go there…That’s awesome!!!</p>

<p>There’s a CSBA major at SC? Didn’t realize that. AWESOME. I’m a CS major and that sounds neat. I must have missed that. Anyway I’m a spring admit too. And from looking at the site it seems the degree just says Viterbi on it. </p>

<p>Hmm. Maybe if I go to SC I can do this. Can you minor with this degree? I really want to minor in photo or film.</p>

<p>JohnReveka…can you tell me the date of ur shown on ur enroll commit depos box? I havent got my DHL yet…but i am really scared that i might be spring admit.</p>
