Trojan Wannabes (USC 2014 Hopefuls)

<p>I’ll hopefully be able to play tennis - varisty or otherwise, and I also want to get involved with something music business-ey (thats my major). I don’t know if there is a student run record label or anything, but that would be cool.</p>

<p>I’m also thinking about rushing…but I’m not 100% sure yet.</p>

<p>Eiffel!, I’m applied to</p>

<h1>1- USC!!!</h1>

<p>Tulane
Boston University
UT
A&M
UCLA
UCSD
UC Irvine
UC Santa Cruz
Vanderbilt
Duke
St.Edwards
St.John’s</p>

<p>haha last 2 are safety, and I guess A&M is my 2nd, but damn I just want to go to USC so freaking bad. I’m able to pay the tuition straight-up, and scholarships are not going to effect my decision at all. :frowning: WHERE ARE YOU ACCEPTANCE LETTER?! …does anyone else feel the same way I do.?</p>

<p>Whoa, I’ve missed a lot. Welcome to all new peeps…</p>

<p>@Eiffel, I’m not all too familiar with the characteristics of each dorm. I heard Parkside has a lot of space and is social, but reserved when it wants to be. I know Birnkrant and New/North are popular as well. Does anyone know why these three dorms are so popular specifically?</p>

<p>As for ECs at USC, I would love to join any Annenberg-related social group and work on the television station, radio station, newspaper… anything media-related that I can get my hands on. I’m going to focus a lot of my time on getting a great entertainment internship, though. </p>

<p>@jkaplan, here are my colleges (no order)</p>

<p>USC, my ultimate #1
UCLA
UC Davis (already accepted)
UC Santa Barbara
UC San Diego
Northwestern
Boston University
Cornell
Pepperdine University
San Diego State</p>

<p>I think I have a good mix of reaches, safeties, and matches. It’s just so painful waiting for the acceptance letters! Arrrrgh.</p>

<p>^You’re already in at UCSB too, right? </p>

<p>Also, I agree about the internship. It’s essential for us show-biz wannabees! :slight_smile: Do you know what kind of place you’d like to intern for specifically?</p>

<p>Hawkwings: Cool. :slight_smile: I have a small college t-shirt collection going, so I make it a point to pick up a shirt when we visited colleges. So they had a couple band shirts at the USC bookstore, so I got one because I just HAD to. Haha…
If anything, I’d want to know what general band life is like. It’s probably different from high school. But maybe not. Hmm…</p>

<p>USC/Stanford/Mit = my favorite choices but USC remains on top (:</p>

<p>^Where else did you apply besides those three?</p>

<p>Boston College, Dartmouth, Columbia, and few other…</p>

<p>^ I saw your other post and good luck with stanford!
I was going to try princeton and yale but…the deadline snuck up on me…=[</p>

<p>Thanks! You too! :slight_smile: And aw, that would have been cool if you had applied to Yale and Princeton. :(</p>

<p>So, what major did you apply to at USC?</p>

<p>I’m thinking of the biological sciences, something like evolutionary biology, and the nueroscience…however, when I was searching for evol. Bio, I couldn’t find it in the undergraduate department, so is it just the graduate?? </p>

<p>what about you? =]</p>

<p>Screenwriting all the way, baby! :smiley: If I don’t get in, I’d probably go for Communications or something like that. Are there any minors you’re interested in?</p>

<p>hey everyone, i’ll join the crowd =]
i applied to marshall.
ummm yeah, so hi everybody!</p>

<p>@neon hey i applied to marshall too</p>

<p>Welcome, guys! Are you interested in any minors at USC?</p>

<p>Applied Marshall, interested in doing some sort of music/design related minor ;)</p>

<p>I think there are SO many minors at USC that sound fascinating and that most schools don’t offer. A few that really appeal to me (and most of them are pretty unique to USC) are: film/TV, animation, education in a pluralistic society, songwriting, playwriting, popular music, acting, American popular culture, American studies, cultural anthropology, cultural studies, and more! There are almost TOO many! I don’t know how I could choose which to do. :|</p>

<p>i was actually thinking of double majoring in econ/finance in most of the other schools i applied to. i don’t know about marshall though, i thought they only had 3 or 4 choices?</p>

<p>Hello. I’m from Oahu, Hawaii, and I’m going for biomedical engineering. I’m really hoping to get in and maybe even get a scholarship. I’m applying for a bunch of schools, but USC is definitely my first choice.</p>

<p>^Where else are you applying? Everyone has to answer that question on here; it’s like hazing. :D</p>
