<p>But i wont be attending USC b/c even with the half tuition scholarship the cost is like $33,000 when UTexas’s journalism program is almost as good and closer to home and half the cost. So I enrolled at UT. Good luck to all future Trojans as well as everyone else on this board.</p>
<p>Uhh… Should i appeal my rejection?

<p>Why I think I was accepted/deferred: Essays, Recs, and Extracurriculars - my grades sure as hell didn’t help, frankly I’m somewhat surprised I got in, I think my grades are the reason I’m in for spring because I definitely didn’t get any age from diversity or sports… ;)</p>
<p>Other thoughts: Just a wee bit late :)</p>
