<p>In all honesty alamemon, the real reason I post here is because it’s amusing how worked up SC kids get over my 2-3 line joke responses and they type 3-4 paragraphs of rebuttal toward a purely jovial jab. Look at your above comment for a good example. </p>
<p>Also, I honestly do appreciate all your help about my questions about USC when I was indeed an applicant. I actually kind of feel bad seeing you need to defend your school because out of all the SC kids I would poke fun at, you are one member I actually respect because you always take the time to genuinely help out prospective students. I sincerely thank you for your help way back with my questions. Also, I feel like I should answer your personal attack on my application and appeal. I actually followed through with that and called and asked about what potentially could have gotten me rejected (just for the record SC was the only school in California that I applied to that rejected me so I was very curious) and I honestly have to say I was very surprised to find I was very politely forwarded to the admission office and a lady answered my question after only about 10-15 minutes of waiting. I don’t know if they generally answer those types of questions. Do they? I know UCSD does but I just thought I’d try USC and I was pleasantly surprised I got my answer. See, to my dismay I found out that either because of my own error (or application error? Not sure. I think I just forgot in the confusion of what was the old USC app was.) I only somehow submitted 3 classes for my senior year and Philosophy, Physics AP, and Government AP were not even listed under my senior year schedule. What was even more annoying (I later found out this was my bad) was that my CC transcript didn’t get there at all and they didn’t have a record of those courses. The woman on the line did not say that it was “the reason I got rejected” but said that the inconsistency in my senior year course load and college classes raised a red flag. So, putting two and two together, it’s pretty safe to assume that 99% those two very very large mistakes were what did it for me. </p>
<p>But realistically, I would never have attended USC over UCLA anyway (and I’m not just saying that because I don’t like USC), I honestly can’t afford to go there even if I got in. I was simply applying there because it’s a good school (yes, I admit it’s a good school, I’m not denying the obvious). My family is stuck right in the middle class cross hairs where we have enough money to not receive financial aid but we aren’t affluent enough to casually put down 200k for undergrad education so USC was never a top option for me anyway. </p>
<p>So in summary, I honestly do appreciate your help when I was an applicant. You are very dedicated to this board and that is a testament that shows how devoted SC affiliates can be. Also, based on my actual phone conversation and re-review of my application, I think it is pretty obvious why I didn’t get into USC. </p>
<p>PS: I was merely joking about my response in the deadline thread. I am not applying to USC as a transfer. Although, I admit that was good sleuthing to look at my previous posts and make a conjecture that I am secretly dying to be a trojan. </p>
<p>This one is for you alamemon:</p>
<p>FIGHT ON!!! :)</p>
