^^ That sounds pretty miserable.
My winters are 60-75 degrees. It was 80 on last Thursday, and I was sweating just walking around. Pretty awesome not knowing what a winter is. :mrgreen:

Santa Monica and Venice beaches are pretty awesome, and I'm totally down to go !! Really excited for ASW.

New poll, this one is a little silly

Business casual, which for me is what others call "the music industry suit." Are you make or female Laws? I didn't particularly notice anyone being out of place except for one guy in a flannel. It was coldish in NYC at the time. I wore black pants and one of those flowy type blouses both days (different ones for each though), with a blazer from forever 21, natural make up and some funky jewelry with black leather boots.. Men seemed to go the slacks and long sleeve button up shirt with nice shoes route. Alot of alums were in suits because they were coming straight from work, but I saw 0 admits in suits.

Bad/Good News, Only got offered a part time/freelance gig with that company. Good news, means I can move to LA and still work for them while in school.

Cool, thanks for the info !!

Apparently, some people on this board thought I was a dude--you def get treated differently if you are a male--more personal attack. Did that answer the question?

Wooooo~~!!

But isn't that going to be hard? Does USC let you work in your 1L year?

Beauty of freelancing is you get to pick the events you want to work on.

Hopefully more people will start chatting after ASW and scholly commitments. Speaking of, no reply at all to either of my letters. Wish these schools would send a "We've received your note and will get back to you once we have reviewed it."

There is at least one person on TLS who has reserved his scolly at USC but is not matriculating.

Yea no response thing is kinda frustrating. One person ended an email asking for a confirmation email, I thought it was weird at first, but now that I think of it, it was a solid move.

This website represents a very small fraction of applicants. I looked at last year's forum and it has less activity.

I used to do that for almost all emails. One line in the signature. "Please respond to confirm your receipt of this email"

Ask and you shall receive...

"We would be happy to take second look to determine whether any increase to your scholarship offer might be possible. I expect we will have an answer for you soon.

Thank you for your interest in USC!"

Huzzah! :D

Now for the waiting. :shock:

The Facebook has over 160 people and about 5-10 have already committed to USC according to their status if you look.

But NOT ONE ever says anything on it except David Kirschner, which reminds me I needed to email him.
