<p>About 1/5 who apply get into the comm studies major. You can only apply spring quarter of your first year and/or your second year. The department doesn't recommend you re-applying anytime after that. They ONLY look at your GPA (and the classes that you take).</p>

<p>Yeah, like they've said, comm is very selective. </p>
<p>Because admissions is a one-shot deal, and requires a great deal of commitment and effort, I usually only recommend that people apply to comm if they're REALLY sure that they wouldn't be happy doing ANYTHING else <em>though that really goes for every major</em>. It's a really, really great program to be a part of once you're in (the relatively small nature has advantages), but getting there is tough.</p>

<p>Umm... are you sure about that? I have a friend who has, in the past, gone to wooden a couple times a day (which is crazy in my opinion) but didn't seem to have any problems getting in...</p>
<p>I only go once a day anyway :p</p>
<p>
Really? Must be awful for all those people who belong to more than one athletics club in the Wooden Center... :rolleyes:</p>

<p>not true - you can use your Bruincard as many times as you care to go to Wooden</p>

<p>Not quite true, you pay to use the gym w/ your tuition fees, regardless of whether you actually use it, so you might as well use it. And its unlimited number of times per day to go to Wooden</p>
<p>Yeah, forgot about that, i think it's about $13/quarter.</p>
<p>hrmm my friend lied then. :mad:
i wouldnt know. last time i went in there was end of last quarter to weigh myself. only gained 3 pounds! :D</p>
<p>I just want to add something regarding what socalpatty said. Not that I don't want to believe what she said, it is really different from what I know and heard. Graduate Students can not teach lectures at USC, but it is common they lead discussion and lab sessions. I think it is like this in most large research universities, such as UCLA.</p>
<p>USC has some quite large classes, the ones socalpatty mentioned are among them. I happen to some of the professors teaching those classes, and one of them very well. One of the TAs is my good friend. He told me no way that a TA teaches lectures. There could be a case TA fills for professor for one lecture, or for some certain subjuct TA knows better than professors. I noticed nobody paid attention to socalpatty's post, just want to make the facts straight.</p>
<p>Congrats on UCLA's BBall victory over bama. Do Pac10 proud!</p>
<p>Does the $23,291 cost of attendance cover all fees or is there a premium for extras such as a 19 premiere meal plan? </p>
<p>I've also noticed that there is different pricing for the different housing options. Will applying to the more expensive De Neve plaza require an extra payment?</p>
<p>It covers your meal plan and I think it is calculated on the 19 premiere and the highest cost housing offered.</p>
<p>I don't think so. I understand it to be the estimated average. For example, <a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm</a>, Room/Board is estimated to be 12,415, which is already exceeded by a couple of the most expensive plan available this year (and it's more likely for it to go up than down). However, that figure is still quite generous.</p>
<p>Besides, the cost is itemized depending on what you choose, given the option. So there isn't one price for everyone, as it seems to be implied. How can they accurately estimate personal or transportation fees, let alone charge for something they don't provide?</p>
<p>I'm a bit confused, but from what I've been reading in this thread, fulfilling honors requirements seems like kind of a pain in the butt cheeks. Is being in the honors program worth (knowledge-wise and perks-wise) the extra requirements? In fact, I might have been interpreting the thread incorrectly, so are there extra requirements for honors program students?</p>
<p>I thought the honors program was well worth it. Priority enrollment is great, and the honors collegium classes were fun.</p>
<p>It's actually pretty easy to fulfill the requirements. Just do UCDC or go abroad once and you have 90% of it done. :p</p>
<p>Wait since the Engineering college doesn't have honors are we left out of the perks that come with the Honors program or is there something equivalent for the Engineering school.</p>
<p>Dude, you're in engineering. That's auto-honors. Suck it up, son.</p>
<p>Eh? Sorry I'm not familiar with the ego/class scene there. If what you are implying is true.. <em>straightens out collar</em>. :p</p>
