Congrats man!! My one biggest regret in this process is not applying to USC. I was so decided I wanted to leave Los Angeles, now I am kinda uncertain about it.

I'm happy for you! You can def. relax now. It's a good time to go through Craigslist and see apartments around the Socal area.

has anyone heard anything from the consortium after being accepted at one of the schools? I know they release decisions on the 15th, but I was expecting a "Congrats for getting into one of our partner schools" email sooner than 3/15

After the first admit, IN MY OPINION, is when you start waiting for the $$$ to come.

When I applied, I didn't even bother to think of funding. Now after the first admit, I am waiting for $$$ offers.

If you do end up going to USC check out apartments by LA Live, yes it's expensive as hell, but worth EVERY penny of it and only 2 miles from Marshall. That's where you'll find me if I end up at SC. I happen to currently live in So Cal btw.

I also currently live in Socal. But I don't know about living in DTLA. Outside the 4 miles radius by the Staples center, it gets really shady.

There are some nice apartments nearby USC. You can even get a place by Santa Monica (near UCLA), that area is sweet. West LA is the best part of town, and is like a 20-25 minute drive.

Also, you'll need a car too

I used to live at Metro 417 in downtown. Would definitely recommend it to everyone and anyone. Great spot, and only a few miles from campus.

Culver City is the best combination of affordable, safe and convenient. If you take surface streets, you're about 7 miles from campus, but will also live close to everywhere (Venice, South Bay, West LA, downtown, OC, etc).

I'd recommend Culver City if you can find a place around 800 bucks. But if you can find a good deal around the West LA area (my girlfriend pays $950/mo for a studio)---it is absolutely awesome.

So I may have gotten my first admit...

I logged into my Emory page to see if they released decisions early and there were 7 things in my to do list starting with "Acceptance Agreement"... Anyone in the same boat? Any clue if this means I'm in?

I think you may have, my friend, the same thing happened to me, I happened to log on to OPUS one day and saw that To Do List as well, but when I clicked on decision it said it wasn't available yet. The next day when I got into work I got an email from Emory prompting to check my decision, which said I was accepted, and the next day I got the call from my interviewer. This may mean you got it, though I haven't heard of it happening to anyone else, so I'm not 100%, but keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Oh and I had my interview yesterday at Darden. The campus was amazing. Students were very friendly. I had a real good time and I could totally see myself there.

I am just a little upset at myself for ranking them 6 out of 6. I know most consortium applicants here were waitlisted, so I am trying not to get my hopes up.

In any case, does anybody here know any admitted applicant from Darden who ranked them 6/6?
