<p>I don’t really like the quarter system, but what the heck, I survive every time. Competition is not that bad, really. You’d be surprised as to how many people buffer the bell curve, and probably how any midterm/final results fall naturally in a bell curve distribution at all. And it’s not like I often run smack dab into an inferiority complex or anything… but I suppose those are two different things. For ex, if I went to Harvard, my sentiments on those two things would probably flip (zero competition due to grade inflation, but massive inferiority complex anyway).</p>

<p>USC does have a very structured, full fledged accounting program, but you won’t miss out on much if you come here. We have a large recruiting presence in that department, and you will have all the necessary courses you need to be able to sit for the CPA exam.</p>

<p>I totally know what you mean about touring it, but not feeling it. I turned down a full scholarship there because I just couldn’t see myself there for four years.</p>

<p>It’s not difficult to get the classes you need. My department is highly impacted, but I never had problems with it. The only problem I see is that it’s difficult to “shop” for classes, which may be an issue if you’re a first year not knowing what to take, or if you are a fourth year who has finished up all your requirements and are looking for random fun classes. Meaning, if you shop around the first few weeks and decide you want to change your courseload, it can be really hard to switch over to a popular, fully enrolled class that late in the game. But if you already know what you want to take, it is usually not a problem.</p>

<p>The solution? Well I guess that’s where the benefits of the quarter system come in. Gives you lots of different ways to rearrange your four year plan.</p>
