<p>If I had to do it all over again (I mean from my return to school) I would have gone to a J.C. in Los Angeles. The counselors down here don’t have sufficient knowledge about USC, and I don’t blame them, they have hundreds of students who are interested in hundreds of colleges, it’s impossible to know everything. At the same time, the fact that no counselor ever told me that USC doesn’t replace old F’s with new A’s and that USC won’t even look at me if I go over 64 units would have helped. </p>
<p>The thing about USC is that it’s my only love, I really don’t know if I have the energy to go anywhere else, I’m scared that i’ll always compare whatever school I might happen to enroll in to USC in a negative way. Since the age of 14 when my unlce would take me to hang out around campus and invite me the football games was how back my love for the school goes. How this never inspired me is easy, I simply didn’t believe I could get in, at my age SC seemed about as tough of joining as an IVY, so I never even bothered to simply ask the question, I was afraid of ridicule.</p>
<p>I envy all of you attending at this moment, I really do. </p>
<p>One question, is it possible to sit down with a USC counslor one on one? Not over the phone, but in person? It seems that the only appointments I can make are only in groups.</p>
<p>I’ll keep bumping this thread with any updates. Thanks a lot for everyone’s help, even you MrGorilla :)</p>
