USC Resident Honors Program

<p>That's great Cipher3D!!!!! What is your major?</p>

<p>I was planning to do either math/physics, math/comp sci, or physics/comp sci.</p>

<p>I'm graduating from high school a year early. I didn't know about the RHP and other early admission programs until I had already started school this year (and was going for a complete diploma being finished at the end of my junior year) sooo I didn't apply for them or anything. BUT I have to say, this entire year I have not regretted the fact that I don't have next year once. I may have caused this year to be more stressful by adding an extra course and applying to colleges, but its far better than having another boring year of high school drama and routine which I absolutely detest. Graduating early is awesome, and I really don't think I'll ever regret it (and no one who I've talked to who has graduated early has regretted it either). Good luck!</p>

<p>Cipher3D,
How did they let you know? Phone call, email, snail mail, or overnight mail? Just curious, we're sitting out in the midwest waiting for an answer for my son.</p>

<p>"Priority mail" from the Undergraduate Admissions Office. I'm not done yet - I have to receive something from the Resident Honors Program office as well to make the admissions "official". However the packet that the Undergraduate Admissions Office sends you is exceptionally nice.</p>

<p>Is there any one else applying to RHP? Last year there was a sizeable thread...</p>

<p>I know Anuj, but I don't see him too often because he's in a different major and lives in a different dorm.</p>

<p>A note about Computer Science majors. The CS major at USC is what you would think is an EE/CS major -- you have to take quite a few EE courses, too (but not much Physics). The CECS (Computer Engineering & Computer Science) major is almost a double major, and requires two semesters of physics. There's also the Physics/Computer Science major, but I can't think of anyone who's doing it.</p>

<p>I guess it's Math/Physics for me, thanks.</p>

<p>Hm - are there fewer RHPer's applying to USC (or are none of them CC lurkers :-P)</p>

<p>Whoa, I didn't know this thread got more posts until you posted in the USC thread, Cipher.</p>

<p>I don't see Anuj much, but yes I do know him.</p>

<p>Hey all, I recently received my acceptance letter for RHP. Who else is in so far? My name's David. Shoot me an email: <a href="mailto:davidbergstedt@gmail.com">davidbergstedt@gmail.com</a>.</p>

<p>My son got his acceptance letter today into RHP!!!!!</p>

<p>Congrats to you and Chris! </p>

<p>and you too David. Did you get a scholarship?</p>
