USC 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>Politricks, according to the USC Housing website you have to be admitted first.</p>

<p>I’m full of questions today:</p>

<p>So I just submitted my deposit online. Do I have to wait for some sort of confirmation/email or can I go ahead and apply for housing now?</p>

<p>@quentin13 nope, i only waited two hours to submit my housing app</p>

<p>@tbibbs what did you e-mail to the counselor that made them update the status?</p>

<p>I got my housing assignment, 5PTRPL at Troy East… and I get the room to myself?? I dunno if I’m going to take it, I factored in a summer session and gateway is only 1000ish more for the whole year. and gateway owns a dorm by a million. Going to check out the place tomorrow, as well as take a tour of campus. shyeahhh.</p>

<p>Oh my god nevermind I just looked at it, it says I’m 3 next to my name, that means I have to share a room with two other people?? HELLLLL no. I’m picking gateway for sure.</p>

<p>Yeah, 5PTRPL means you’re in an apartment with two rooms. Yours has two other people in the room with you which is pretty uncool.</p>

<p>so who’s going to the July 9th orientation?</p>

<p>@ daisydaisy</p>

<p>Yeah, I got shafted on housing assignments too. I got Founders Apts 2B4P. I really don’t want to share a room with someone. How affordable is Gateway compared to $3155 a semester for sharing a room with someone? Does Gateway include internet, cable, or utilities with their rent?</p>

<p>Someone posted this on the Chapman transfer page, "I called today and they said they’re still going through transfer apps and a decision will be made soon. How soon? They wouldn’t say. I was told last week that all decisions would be made by tomorrow, but after calling today…it didn’t sound like that.</p>

<p>So…we’ll have to play the waiting game."</p>

<p>Looks like we’re not the only ones waiting. Meanwhile, I still haven’t received a decision from USC.</p>

<p>Gateway pricing is somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000+ dollars for a shared room. </p>

<p>I hope I’m not jinxing it, but I’m choosing Gateway. The area where Sunset is at is horrible. I lived in LA all my life and the area where it’s at (or near at) is apparently notorious.</p>

<p>The only downside is is that I’ll be living with three more people at Gateway and it costs about $400 more than Sunset. Sunset only involved one roommate.</p>

<p>@foodmunkee I am :)</p>

<p>If we apply for reassignment, do we give up our spot? or if we don’t get what we want, do we get to keep our original assignment?</p>

<p>sirownzalot, Gateway is shared, too. You’ll be in the same 2 bedroom, 4 person situation but in a nicer apartment. If you get the 1030 a month, first month free situation it comes out to 944 a month.</p>

<p>foodmunkee, I am, too.</p>

<p>ilovemtsac, it sounds like they auto-cancel the old assignment in favor of the new one, “If we are able to fulfill your request, you will be notified by e-mail that your reassignment has been completed. This will be your new housing assignment; your previous assignment will be cancelled and offered to another student”. With that said, though, it looks like they’ll only reassign you to a place you request so the auto-change isn’t a big deal. I’m not completely sure on this. The reassignment form is here: [Services</a> & Information - Housing Info/Forms](<a href=“http://housing.usc.edu/Services/HousingForms.aspx]Services”>http://housing.usc.edu/Services/HousingForms.aspx)</p>

<p>sweeeet!!! :smiley: are you guys going to the meet and greet afterwards?

<p>Kind of worried now. My spring grades just came out and I got a C in one of my classes. Although my acceptance letter doesn’t have a certain gpa that I would need to maintain, would USC rescind the acceptance? It was a spanish class if that matters.</p>

<p>Status just changed to “The Committee Has Acted…”</p>

<p>“Committee is Reviewing…” on 6/2 and “Committee Has Acted…” on 6/4.</p>

<p>fivefoottree, </p>

<p>some people have a conditional gpa of 3.3 , so I think as long as your GPA is higher than that you are fine.</p>

<p>@stargurl93 I presented my portfolio for the Stage Management BFA program.</p>

<p>Gateway is actually $899 a month now :)</p>
