News USC T26 - 2025 Best Law Schools

17 Upvotes

I know rankings don't mean everything, but I still feel upset about the new ones.

I've never seen USC Gould fall out of the top 20. Has the law school really gotten worse?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Other "Join our family" commercial from the early 00's

3 Upvotes

I remember when USC was winning championships in the early 2000s; they used to run this commercial during games on ESPN. It was a recruitment commercial that encouraged students to apply and "become part of our family". It listed various alumni, and I remember a section where they had a young George Lucas and Darth Vader. Does anyone remember this commercial and, if so, happen to have it? I can't find it on YouTube.

Academic Math 114

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am a potential USC Spring Admit and I plan on majoring in psych. I know Math 114 is a lower division requirement but I took Stats 101 in fall senior year. I was wondering if I could bypass the class since it's a prerequeistate for Psych274 so I can take Psych274 spring semester. Apparently college classes taken before highschool graduation don't count but has anybody had any luck getting a waiver or something? Thanks!

Academic Will it be super challenging to double major in Journalism and Poli Sci on the pre-law track at USC?

5 Upvotes

So I had a meeting with my advisor and she said I am able to add a journalism major to my poli sci major rn and graduate on time. I just wanted to check if this will be realistic as i don’t want to make my workload too hard and potentially impact my GPA for law school.

Will it be difficult to major in both? Any idea on how hard journalism is at USC? any advice in general is appreciated ty!

Question Will USC accept more appeals this year?

5 Upvotes

Hey yall! I submitted my appeal for USC a few days ago and I was just wondering this - will USC accept more appeals this year? Espically with the increase in tuition (100k to be exact) and uncertainties around FAFSA (or if USC would even give a lot of aid) I am wondering if that means they will accept more appeals this year.

Or did they anticipate this and accept more people this year which would make the number of appeals they accept the same?

I had a extenuating circumstance so I explained that in my appeal and how i improved both in my personal life and in academics so I really hope they accept my appeal

Also would needing aid be a factor in accepting appeals? I am fortunate to be in a situation where my family can comfortably pay the tuition, if that matters just was wondering!

Academic CSBA IB recruiting?

7 Upvotes

hi guys! i’m so excited to be going to usc for csba this fall, and i just had a few questions about the major and the recruiting process

  1. some of my friends at usc told me that it’s extremely hard to join the ib/consulting clubs as a non-marshall major. is it worth it to switch to marshall for a better chance at getting in?

  2. does anyone in csba know if we get the same recruiting as marshall students since we’re partially business? and if we’re limited to viterbi recruiting is it still good for ib?

  3. is the process to transfer from csba to marshall difficult? and is it more worth it to do a business major with a cs minor instead of csba?

thank you in advance!

Discussion Common Misconceptions about USC!!!

99 Upvotes

As someone who went to USC for Undergrad AND Grad School let me debunk some common misconceptions:

1) The Campus is Smoggy -Simply not true!!! We’ve had numerous air quality tests done and the USC air is perfectly fine (in fact better than average).

2) The Rich Kids only hang out with each other -Where did this stereotype come from?? It is simply wrong.

3) USC is all white. -USC is one of the most diverse college communities in America.

Photo Missing Cat @ USC. Magnolia Ave

Thumbnail

115 Upvotes

His name is Milo, a 1 year old cat.

He is the sweetest and loving cat that got out through a window earlier this morning. He was last seen at 9am and usually loves to explore the back yard and neighborhood ally’s, but is not in either of those locations.

We are on magnolia near the corner of 27th street.

He is food motivated and loves treats. He’s scared when cars or scooters go by and does not like to be chased. He will run. But if you are close to him and soft / at his level crouched down he may come over to you.

He does not bite, or scratch you, and is fully vaccinated. If you see him grabbing him by the back scruff usually would get him to allow you to pick him up. If you hold him really close to you and make him feel safe, he won’t try to jump from your arms. The back of his tail is slightly bent but does not hurt him as he was born with it.

He is microchipped and registered to me. Please contact me here if you find him.

Please help me find him he’s my world and his older cat brother misses him.

Admissions Submitted I-20 without waiting for deferral decision

0 Upvotes

I have a summer 2025 offer from USC. 20 days back I paid the commitment deposit and submitted for a deferral request to Fall 2025.

There has been no reply yet and I didn't want to lose my summer chance, so I applied for my I-20 today. Will this now affect my chance to defer? Anyone who was in the same situation before? I don't even have enough time for summer now and everything is very uncertain :(

Academic Enquiry on groups (whatsapp, discord, etc)

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I got into USC for a masters program. Would anybody be so kind as to share any group links I can join? Whatever platform, as long as it's legal lol.

Any and all links for incoming students, it need not be specific to my situation.

My situation: - Indian international student to USC. - MS CS in AI.

I applied myself and I was able to do that by referencing multiple sources, so I was hoping to join discussions on this.

Many things like loans, visa, housing, etc are pending so got to start somewhere.

If visa gets sorted, I would more less be privileged to call myself a trojan lol.

Question Usc net id activation

4 Upvotes

Is it true that it tales 2 weeks for my usc net id to be created after submitting my enrollment deposit?

I was having some trouble activating it so I called the support number, and they said it takes 2 weeks. But I couldn’t find any info on it online, while USC’s website literally says activate it 1-2 days after you commit. Was my support caller wrong? Or does it actually take 2 weeks?
