USC 2010! Forum

[Hopefullawstudent]

I was complete 11/10 and IR today. Any speculation on this batch?

If I recall your stats correctly, it's an acceptance batch. Definitely not a rejection batch, that's for sure. Good luck Veritas!

I'm pretty sure my stats are "borderline." USC would be a HUGE win for me

Well at the very worst, you're a WL.

What are peoples' opinions about USC's law facilities? Have you guys taken the virtual tour? Yikes. When will one of USC's alums donate a proper building??

[sunnygirl]

I visited there around a year ago and took some law classes. The facilities were fine, beautiful law library and one thing, students were very nice. They were willing to answer your questions. I went there as prospective student. I don't know whether I am still one or not. USC is a reach for me, not huge, but definitely enough to expect a ding, though I love it.

I can't find the virtual tour but I worked in the library for two years so I've been everywhere in the law school. The library is nice, it was renovated about 5 years ago, so the common study areas are nice. The desks throughout the library are a little old, although the chairs are comfy! In comparison, some of the classrooms are a little old, but it gets the job done. The faculty offices are nice, and the basement has a nice little cafe. Overall, a pretty small building, without too many common gathering areas, but you can study outside in the sun for probably 3/4s of the school year near the fountain out front. The outside is pretty dang ugly though, almost as ugly as the undergrad business school building right in front of it.

thanks Wire! Don't think I'll get it but thought maybe applying helps with subsequent scholly offer- anyone know if that's the case?

[TheWire]

From what I've seen/heard, rothman invites do get substantial scholarship offers...a lot of the LSNs that said they got the rothman invite reportedly received between 75000-105000. However, I'm not sure if this is because individuals that received the invite generally have high numbers or because you took the time out to show interest in the program. I would think it a safe bet, however, that if you are a finalist you can expect at least a decent offer tho...

This is what I've heard too. I'm really struggling with writing the thing though -- I don't want to repeat the things I talked about in my PS, but I'm just not that exciting. And I certainly haven't invented anything.

Today is my 1 month anniversary from going "In Review." I'm still optimistic that I will go to "decision rendered" soon (I'd be happy for even WL at this point so I can stop checking).

Hey, anyone here email them for a waiver and get one? I am waiting to hear back. I emailed 4 schools this weekend asking for waivers, BU said yes, Michigan said no. Haven't heard from the other two.

[jgulia45]

visited last week...wasn't super impressed w/ the facilities but I'm still considering it.

So far people who have been "in review" have gotten good results....good luck

[finalaspects]

164/4.0

that's a close call. i would say accepted if you are URM.

But if not, i would still say most likely accepted. Everyone who went into review so far has been acceptances, and no rejection batches have gone out. Good luck!

Thanks! I'm thinking this is going to be another WL to add to my ever-growing pile. *fingers crossed for a surprise*
