<p>For everyone who has been accepted/rejected/SGR please post your stats here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/904974-usc-transfer-decisions-2010-official-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/904974-usc-transfer-decisions-2010-official-thread.html</a> to help future cc people who are looking to transfer to USC. It will greatly assist them in applying, I know it helped me plenty. Take a little time out during this beautiful summer and fill one out!</p>
<p>The only thing specific that I know of for housing is Gateway, [University</a> of Southern California, Los Angeles - University Gateway - Off Campus Student Housing](<a href=“Campus Apartments, LLC.”>Campus Apartments, LLC.). I feel like such a shill!</p>
<p>@cradshaw i highly recommend living at University Gateway :)</p>
<p>So for all us late admits, does anyone want me to try to setup some sort of CC meetup on the 23rd orientation? Like maybe at the end of the day at 5pm when they have the social.</p>
<p>Also to those still looking for a place to live, me and it seems like everyone else on CC is living at University Gateway which means it’ll be real easy to make new friends and have people to cook with/grab dinner with whenever.</p>
<p>(haha, didn’t see what serapher/hellostranger57 said first!)</p>
<p>@ Budlightyear</p>
<p>Yo, so I looked at the decisions thread where you talked about your essay. Would you mind posting it here or sending it to me in a message? I want to read it! Seems like you’ve got one hell of a story</p>
<p>Kulakai - That sounds great!!</p>
<p>My essay? Umm, sure. I’ll search my drive for it real quick and post it under an edit.</p>
<p><strong><em>EDIT</em></strong></p>
<p>Here you go, Politricks. My application essay</p>
<p>There aren’t any excuses that could have justified my behavior. There wasn’t a soul on earth that could have prevented me from doing such horrendous deeds, to myself and to everyone around me. Promiscuity, drugs, alcohol, and thoughts of suicide ravaged my brain and traveled down to the deepest, coldest parts of my heart. I felt no pain. I had no remorse. The sublime life I once lived was nothing more than a torturous reminiscence of sweet dreams and fairytales. What could have compelled a kind-hearted, free-spirited, strong-willed young man to crumble down to his knees and succumb to a realm of such dark existence?
Summer of 2004 began like any other summer: beautiful ocean waves, starry night skies, and green grass growing lavishly upon the lawns of its caretakers. Little did I know that I would prematurely see the conclusion of this magnificent season only to face the mightiest challenge of my life. A drunk driver, who raced through a red light, struck Stacey, my fianc</p>
<p>Great minds think alike, of course. High five CC Gateway marketing team.</p>
<p>Actually, there were two Gateway residents advertising during orientation. They were handing out cards with some information.</p>
<p>EDIT: Man, what? I just read Budlightyear’s CC decision thread post. That’s terrible. That kind of thing could destroy someone.</p>
<p>If anyone is thinking about really signing with gateway, use Kulakai or Me as a referral on the application and I’m hoping there will be a small referral cash transfer, which we can split and help pay for rent! Just ask for our real names haha.</p>
<p>@Serapher yea I remember, but the cards looked like it was for some peep show strip club “If the key fits in the hole, you get 1 year free housing” which I have no idea what that was about. It was weird as hell and the orientation advisory students told us not to pay any heed to them.</p>
<p>Alright, I think I got a lot of you added already but if there is anyone else coming to the 23rd orientation who is interested in meeting everyone else from CC, friend me on fb so I can coordinate it on there: <a href=“http://www.facebook.com/davidwaterhouse[/url]”>http://www.facebook.com/davidwaterhouse</a></p>
<p>Or if you are gonna live at gateway or are a Marshall transfer :)</p>
<p>@Bud You sir, have left me speechless and wondering how the hell would anyone take this long to accept you. Not to say they should feel sympathy for you but to feel a sense of true growth and maturity that cannot simply be learned, but acquired through an almost existential understanding of the world. I salute you for your trek in overcoming your tremendous adversities, truly a compelling and eloquently written essay!</p>
<p>Budlightyear</p>
