and it's even tougher to be a single mom, so add that all together and you really need some help to get through it. it helps if you have slightly older children, as opposed to infants, but it's still hard. One of my friends/classmates is a single mom of one toddler and she is struggling to...

One last thing - for those of you who want to be able to walk around and not have to get in your car to get everywhere, Monterey Hills may not be for you. It sits on a pretty steep hill -hence, Monterey HILLS- and is pretty much like an island. Picture Los Angeles with a hill full of nice...

Okay, I haven't written anything on this site for quite some time now, but I just felt I should contribute to this post, since there seems to be a lot of misinformation. USC Health Science Campus is not really near the Main Campus. There is a shuttle between the two. I currently work at...

are all of you guys who are going on the 26th planning on attending usc? it'd be fun to meet some sdners (i haven't met any) and future classmates. see you there? are we gonna meet, or somehow label our nametags so that we know who we all are? the function is an outdoor reception and table...

tastes like burning - i like your screen name. did you consider "he tells me to burn things?" :D well, i really feel the randomness of the whole process every time i log on here. usc stats are scattered across the board. last year, i read an article in the l.a. times which featured a...

I think the total monthly card payments is what you are currently paying each month. (if you are carrying a balance). Are you talking about the FAFSA? It is kind of general, but you just do the best you can, I don't think that you can do wrong unless you overlook something major. For future...

Other than bashing for sports, can we please get over the bashing for which school is better? I truly think that all colleges in the "highly competitive" category (of which Ivies are only a small part of) are very similar. Many use the same textbooks. All have both spectacular and...

For anyone who would consider having someone write the test for you... wouldn't that be more stressful than just studying for it? If that person didn't do well at all, would you be mad at them? Even if I wasn't fully prepared (no one ever feels like they can't study just a little bit more), I...

scooby - sorry I didn't notice, but I don't think she was the girl you are talking about <img border="0" alt="[Lovey]" title="" src="graemlins/lovey.gif" /> I think there used to be a girl who worked there who was hot - did you interview there? She was the one who hosted the video about the...

It's funny you asked, becuase I just dropped off an update letter on Monday. The office is in the KAM building, across the street from County, next to the residence hall/cafeteria. But... and this is not such good news, when I went to drop off the letter, I went into the office and handed the...

For all of you out there who have been checking mail every day, email several times a day... you know it has been pretty slow the last several weeks (I know it has for me - I was on a nice roll, and then it all stopped!). But seriously, the adcoms are part of academic systems, most of which...

I went to NYMC about a week ago for Tuesday interview, but took a late flight Sunday night on America West and arrived early Monday morning. Why aren't you staying with a student? They are available and helpful, I strongly recommend it. Rent from Enterprise near JFK - they shuttle you form...

The interview notice mentions that you should be out pretty early. I went on a Thursday in late November... I think we got out at about 12:30, I grabbed lunch there, because I was starving (the cafeteria is pretty inexpensive, and not bad) and took my rental car back right after that...the...

I think you can do it, but it'll be tough - first of all, one things that could really help your case is a stunning MCAT score... it takes a lot of organization and dedication to study for and do well on that exam, so if you can do that (all the while be a mom and work at the hospice), it'll...

I sent the secondary in 10/2, got an email 10/9 saying it was complete. Got the rejection email 12/5.
