Just E-mail me and I'll give you suggestions/help on figuring out where to live. There is about three great places to live around SC, and I'll discuss the pros and cons about them.

I would venture to say there are more than just 3 good places to live around USC. You really don't need to be within 2 miles of campus. I live about 15 miles out (westside) and have no problem commuting each day (less than 30 minutes). So I think you can settle pretty much anywhere in Los Angeles if you would like a little more extracurricular life than some of the small burgs around USC offer (not that South Pasadena or Monterey Hills are bad ).
I look at the UCLA basketball season this year as a blessing. Unless Lavin miraculously gets us in to the NCAA tournament and pulls a championship, there is no way he is keeping his job next year. He's screwed over the program for the last time - new blood is on the way.

Yeah what time you leave makes a difference. Class is almost always going to be at 8 so you wouldn't have to worry about the heavy 8am traffic. I try to get out by 7 when traffic is still light. That gets me to school around 7:30 and leaves me plenty of time to find parking and get to class. Occasionally accidents will happen on other freeways around downtown and things can get a little slow, but only ever up until the 110 freeway. I don't think I have ever taken more than an hour, at the worst.
I've actually never tried going the 12 miles on side streets, I always thought the 10 moved plenty fast.

Congrats to all of those who have been accepted so far.
I was born in LA County, though that has not seemed to make the Admissions Committee very appreciative of the rest of my application. (Been waiting to hear from them since mid-Nov.)
Hope I end up as classmates with you blokes.

El Jefe is totally right. My thing is that I am very lazy, and like waking up at 7:30 AM to make my 8 AM class. But if you don't mind a 30 minute commute, you can live almost anywhere in LA. I know of one guy who lives in Orange County (friggin crazy), but the majority of the students live in South Pas, Monterrey Hills, or Pasadena.

hey guys...
i apologize if i am interrupting your "conversation". usc is one of my top choice medical schools and i was wondering, for those of you who have been accepted or have been attending there, what kind of statistics do you have? i don't mean to get personal and sorry if it is offending.
i sincerely would like to get in and i am applying this june (august mcats though ). i just want to see if i stand a chance. i know that their avg. gpas were like 3.5-3.6. what about mcat scores? i understand that i can always take a look at their averages but it's just helpful to hear from actual individuals who have gone through the process... can anyone help me out?
thanks and take care,
annie

Annie,
It's impossible to say for sure. Behind the crapshoot aspect of medical school admissions lies the ugly truth that numbers get you in the door. Granted, my numbers are not exceptional, 3.5 SGPA and overall GPA, I received an interview out-of-state at USC. My USC secondary was unique because it was written leisurely, honestly, and no-holds-barred truthfully. I say make your secondary stand out and your chances should improve.
I am glad this phoenix thread was pulled out of the burnt embers.
How in god's name do I get off post-interview hold? I want to be a part of the Keck SOM sooo badly.
