<p>What are you going to do?!</p>
<p>I'll have to go to UCLA then :(</p>
<p>go to community college or cal state</p>
<p>jump off a building... ill die before i ever set foot on a cal state campus</p>
<p>well said moss... i would go to ucla and make the lives of the admission councelors at usc hell... haha</p>
<p>or put blue paint on tommy trojan</p>
<p>UW or Miami probably</p>
<p>I got denied to USC and all I can say is that life goes on. People who still want to go to USC can always transfer. Just make sure you have enough options</p>
<p>bummer...sorry you got denied; you're right that life goes on, though. but was that for this coming year? i didn't know they started sending out rejections yet. eeek. now i'm really nervous.</p>
<p>Hey Moss, did you think how your comment about CSU might look following the comment from someone who might go to one? Comes across a little unkind. Besides, some CSU campuses have extremely strong programs for specific majors even if the college overall isn't the strongest.</p>
<p>NAgony: SK1 is a past applicant. don't worry, they haven't started sending out rejections yet.</p>
<p>What do you guys think is harder to get into? UCLA or USC? really bad question to ask on the USC thread, i know... but... i'm just being honest :)</p>
<p>chances are I would implode</p>
<p>i would care at all if i got into my 1st choice school</p>
<p>judging by stats i would say USC and UCLA are about the same...but USC might be slightly harder to get into</p>
<p>of course, it might be harder for someone out of state to get into UCLA...but i'm just guessing on that one</p>
<p>Yes; it is easier for an out-of-state student to get into USC, as they are looking for geographical diversity, than it is to get into UCLA, as it is a state-supported school whose primary mission is to educate Californians.</p>
<p>UCLA Biz/econ > USC Marshall</p>
<p>You are wrong moss. Marshall is stronger.</p>
<p>UCLA is waaay harder their regular admissions were due on Nov. 30!! That's how hard it is and if I don't I hope to go to Pepperdine and reinterview and transfer. No worries though I will be class of 2010 at USC!!! I'm soo determined to go to that school!</p>
<p>I'm not talking about how hard it is to get in, I'm talking about the strength of the business program.</p>
<p>UCLA is much more competitive than USC in terms of business. It is also MUCH harder to get into UCLA Biz/econ than Marshall PERIOD.</p>
<p>Then if UCLA is much harder to get into, much harder to do well in, and better...why is it below USC in rankings? Why do recruiters seek USC graduates before UCLA ones? </p>
<p>Read this, Moss:

USC tops UCLA in national ranking this time in business, not in football
Los Angeles Business Journal, Sept 26, 2005 by Rachel Brown</p>
<p>The Trojans have scored another victory over the Bruins.
This time, the victory is not on the gridiron, but in the Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive rankings of business schools. USC's Marshall School of Business placed 10th, while UCLA's Anderson School of Management--traditionally considered more elite--came in at 19th.</p>
<p>USC shot up from a placement of 23rd on the regional list of business schools, while Anderson was also ranked 19th last year on the national list.</p>
<p>USC moved to the national list this year after the Journal identified the school as having more than a regional appeal to corporate recruiters.</p>
<p>The rankings are culled from surveys of 3,267 recruiters who are asked about 20 student and school attributes, such as interpersonal and problem-solving skills and leadership potential.</p>
<p>"If a recruiter only has the capacity to visit 10 schools on the West Coast, they may look at the rankings and say, 'I really believe that USC has to be on my short list,'" said Peter Giulioni, executive director of the Marshall's Career Resource Center.</p>
<p>Officials at the Anderson School did not return calls.</p>
<p>Giulioni, who took over as executive director last October after working at Deloitte & Touche LLP, said he has tried to boost USC's ranking by restructuring the career center along industry lines.</p>
<p>Mindy Tamburro, a staffing consultant at Thousand Oaks-based biotechnology company Amgen Inc., said USC has effectively reached out to recruiters, even inviting her to lunch to solicit her advice. "You obviously are drawn to schools that are easy to work with," she said.</p>
<p>Raime Quick, director of human resources at the El Segundo-based toymaker Mattel Inc., which already recruits from USC, said: "We want to make sure we are going to the right schools. Each year, they are becoming stronger and stronger."</p>
