Re: Calling All 2010 USC Marshall Applicants [#permalink]
hypermeganet, may i ask when and how did you get notified of the 50% scholarship?

i'm heading down to LA in June to look for housing. focusing on Culver City and maybe Brentwood.

Anyone looking for housing yet? I ended up being awarded a 50% scholarship, so USC is my likely destination. I still have a Darden interview this Friday, so that might pan out - but if it doesn't, USC is almost for sure where I'm going.

Like a few days after my packet. I didn't think I received anything and then I got a follow up letter. It was very, very surprising!

Just PMed you but for the benefit of others:

My stats are: 710 GMAT, 5.5 years work experience as a software engineer in high tech (intel and start up), and significant extracurricular. Also, not sure if it helped or hurt me but I did my undergrad at USC as well

Good luck and I hope you get in!

Have any other R3 applicants heard anything yet? I had an on campus interview in the last week of April as well, but haven't heard anything since.

I got dinged.

From what I can tell, not well. That goes for most of LA. They are building a light rail line that runs from Culver City past campus, but that won't start until 2011. You'll need a car, or a friend with a car.

I'll likely be living in Culver City.

It's about ~20 miles to campus. That's 40 miles round trip per day @ 22 days = 880 miles per month. Say your car gets 20 miles per gallon, that's 44 gallons per month. Let's average $3.10/gallon. That's $136.40/month in gas.
