No, sorry. Didn't get into that. If I had to guess from the nature of the event as a whole, I'd say most people in attendance were still deciding or were strongly leaning USC but hadn't actually deposited yet.

This was the impression I got also.

Spencer, it was sooo nice meeting you!! You seemed like a really chill student. And good job in Prof. Armour's class today. Your comment was 180.

Mec, Blades, mieko, Bruingrad, and spencer--it was really so nice meeting you all today. You all seemed awesome, and I would love to have you all as classmates. Good luck on your deliberation on where to matriculate. I hope we get more money from SC to make our decision easier.

+1

I have to say, before now I was definitely interested in USC but I wouldn't say I was excited about them. But they did a stellar job of selling themselves today. They've also been really welcoming and responsive throughout the whole application process and have already given me a generous increase on my original offer... but man, that $30,000 in extra tuition compared to my other options is a tough hurdle. I'm interested to see how Irvine stacks up after tomorrow's ASW.

Yeah I know. Spencer we talked today about your concerns regarding debt. I know that you said you have to go to a school that will minimize your LS debt. I would love to go to the same school as you, I would actually want to hang out with you as a classmate. Well, pls tell me how UCI is, I'm also admitted to UCI and debating on going tomorrow.

I met someone who has taken advantage of the seat depo initiative but haven't withdrawn from all schools yet. They said that they deposited to get $2,000 for putting in $500, and has no intention of withdrawing. WTF.

Nine people per table at lunch, 22 tables at lunch iirc. Minus 1-2 faculty and admin. at each table. Minus some (0-2) missing people at each table. How many is that? I can't do math. As spencer said, ~200?

Also at lunch, what was that dessert that they fed us? That was the most delicious thing I've tasted.

They have about 110, shooting for 170ish.

I mentioned how that was their target last year but they wound up with over 200. Reid just said they really were trying to hit that lower number.

I feel like that means they are going to be stingy with $ for some people. .

Not at all if those 110 don't help their medians, which is why I think random bumps were issued. If they really want a small class size and better medians they will need to give a lot to the highest ranking admits to lure them in and hit both goals.
