<p>whats your major</p>

<p>I’m surprised how many got into NYU Stern but got rejected by USC. For me, it was the opposite.</p>

<p>But congrats to those who got in!</p>

<p>zkevin, I am pretty sure you care or else you would not have spent the time to type that long list of academcs purporting your rejection.</p>

<p>Rejected.</p>

<p>I’m just glad to know.</p>

<p>Haha polite, I really don’t care that much. I care a little bit, but not really. I didn’t type it out either, I copied + pasted it from my resume (and the rest of the stats I had in my previous post were copied + pasted from other college decision threads). The only reason why I even ended up applying to USC in the first place was cause I was deferred from UMich back in October. But then I got accepted a mere 3 weeks after being deferred (but I had already finished/sent my app for USC).</p>

<p>i didnt get into stern but did for marshall. aka im studying business :)</p>

<p>wow i would think getting into marshall is just as selective. im applying to both as a trasnfer btw.</p>

I got a guaranteed transfer to Cornell and I am pretty stoked about studying business at Cal Poly SLO for 3 semesters before heading out to Ithaca. still, I’ll root the Trojans on through the BCS for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>I’m telling you- the admissions board is so weird- this is a perfectly qualified candidate, much more so than many I’ve seen, and they reject him? How bogus is that? ***???</p>

<p>Hey, one of my daughters got 770 SAT I Math and 760 SAT II Math 2 but only 660 on CR. And she’s a blue-eyed blonde!</p>
