Do I pay mroe tuition if I go over 16 credits?

jbusc

only if you go over 18 units

I don't know anything about health majors, sorry

proudtrojan

You pay for 18 units. Most classes are 4 units, meaning you can take four 4 unit classes and one 2 unit class. If you take five 4 unit classes, you will have to pay for the extra 2 units.

For dorms, do we need additional devices other than an HD TV to watch national TV stations in HD?

You will need an HD antenna. For the foreseeable future, the cable service in all USC housing is going to remain standard analog service via coaxial jack.

However, I believe most "over-the-air" stations in Los Angeles (such as KABC, KCBS and KNBC) simulcast in HD, so you would just need to switch between the USC cable input and your external HD antenna to watch those.

Discover USC is this Sunday! It's a great way to see the campus and actually meet with admissions reps from the various schools at USC!!

we didn't need an antenna for hd tv. for abc and stuff, it says something like channel 7, channel 7-2 (hd), channel 7-3 (hd), channel 8, etc.

Proudtrojan, was USC your first choice school? Where else did you apply?

Ned5555

SJW- How was your television set up? I'm fairly certain there is no HD content on USC cable service. Were you just picking up over-the-air stations and the signals were strong enough you didn''t need an antenna?

sjw2011

I'm not really sure... we got a new suitemate mid semester, so she ended up putting her tv in the living room area, and we just get those channels, there's no antenna or anything. so maybe the signal was just strong? i really know nothing about this sort of thing

Nickel Xenon, I initially wanted to major in architecture. Of the schools I applied to USC, UC Berkeley, and Cal Poly SLO (which has a good arch program) were my only options that had arch programs.

My main decision was between UC Berkeley and USC. I was initially set on going to Berkeley; however, as I visited both campuses many times and spent the night at admitted students events, I came to realize that USC was a much better fit for me. I also knew that USC had more majors that appealed to me, in the event that I chose to change my major.

Having made such a change to Policy, Planning, and Development, I have found a program unique to USC that is exactly what I wanted.

dnduswo, most schools at USC actually have similar admit rates, but some have extra requirements when applying. I recently added Business as a second major in Marshall, and the process for adding a major does require a supplemental application.

Keep in mind that when you apply to USC, you are admitted to USC before you are admitted to a school within USC. For Marshall to look at your application, you first have to be admitted to USC.

IR and the International Business concentration are very popular on campus, and they are great interdisciplinary programs.

How long were your short answers in the application?
