<p>In support of madbeans assumption that you may be a ■■■■■…
“I was a USC student with the trustee scholarship (made me drive 4 hours down for a silly interview)” …"I went to torrey pines high school "- no one from TPHS area(Rancho, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Del Mar) drives FOUR hours DOWN to USC. They drive 2 to 2 1/2 hours UP to USC.In fact no one from San Diego County says that they drive DOWN (ie south) to LA…</p>
<p>“Oh how I WILL (Future tense) miss dorming in Birnkrant.”…The tense that you phase your comment makes it sound as if you were just at Birkrant this last semester which would infer that you have not yet completed any classes yet at UCLA.Yet you say…“I just recently transferred to UCLA” “I am having a much more satisfying time taking upper division computer science classes at UCLA.” Your comments don’t mesh…also it would seem obvious to most anyone that upper division classes within your major at ANY school would be more satisfying at either school …USC or UCLA…no comparison to GE’s.</p>
<p>If you were a trustee scholar you should have been in TO…not easy by any means. You also should have been an entering sophomore because of all of your AP credits…tested out of many of your GE’s , and with a little bit of research been able to take your choice of some great GE’s.</p>
<p>Are there great professors at USC …yes. Are there great professors at UCLA…yes. Poor profs at USC… yes…poor profs at UCLA… yes. Easy or difficult classes at both… yes…and your point is? You thought that your classes were easy at USC…my son was in a class first semester junior year with a UCLA transfer who thought that the classes for a business/acctg major at USC were much more difficult than at UCLA…yet this does not prove the superiority of USC over UCLA anymore than your assertions that UCLA is superior to USC has any merit.</p>
<p>I was a Regents scholar…and back in the day you received full tuition as well as payment for all of your books as well…but your assertion of mad perks…makes me laugh!!! My children were all offered Regents at multiple UC’s, UCLA included and I guess that we didn’t hear of the Royal Treatment other than priority registration that a Regent Scholarship afforded…I guess that you’re special??</p>
<p>Madbean…if it looks like a ■■■■■, and acts like a ■■■■■…most likely it is a ■■■■■ :)</p>
