kade wrote:All, congrats on your acceptance to sc.

I have the following 0L books that I would to give away to anyone who is matriculating in the fall at Gould. They are available to pick up during law day weekend, either on campus or dtla. They are offered only to people who are joining the trojan family in the fall. One supplement per person, please. And the account must have at least 100 posts (to distinguish alts). Please do not pm, as I would have to cross-check and it would be harder for me to keep track; instead, please post below which one you would like.

1. Getting to Maybe
2. Law School Confidential
3. LEEWS CD set
4. The Eight Secrets of Top Exam Performance in Law School
5. Strategies and Tactics for the First Year Law Student

You guys can pick them up either on Law Day or when school starts.

I will also be giving out a ton of 1L supplements. I will post them at a later date in this thread. I also have outlines that I can give out. But I will only share the outlines around two weeks before school starts.

Too bad I'm not at the post number. But then again, neither are you?

I guess I can strike that requirement. Yeah these supplements are no longer useful for me. They're up for grabs for people who are matriculating or very close to matriculating (more than 80% sure). (But not for people who are thinking of going to the "rival school.") And I guess people can pm me due to AOs who might be lurking..

Going to law day/diversity reception, too. Would love to meet up with any of you. I'm not staying at the recommended hotels - the rooms were already taken, so I'm staying downtown. Kind of nervous to navigate the area by myself.

Currently live/work in LA. It's actually pretty easy to get to USC from downtown. Get to the 7th street metro station, take the expo line (NOT the blue line, which leaves on the same tracks), and Expo Park/USC is the fourth stop. It takes 5-7 minutes to get to the law school once you get off the metro. I visited USC for the first time earlier this week, and the commute there was much easier than I had expected. The expo line leaves every 12-15 minutes, so as long as you plan your trip right, it should take you about 20 minutes to get there.

I was going to uber over, but I might actually try the train. Thanks so much!

+1. I'm staying at the Radisson, but wanted to check out downtown after the reception.

I'll be at the Radisson as well, planning on exploring the train system as I am trying to avoid living on campus and want to get a feel for the transit.

You think I've been kidding this whole time but I've been looking a little. I seriously want to consider finding a roommate at an off campus apartment. My flight back is on Saturday so I have time Thursday and Saturday to kind of look around if you're down

not allowed to double deposit - they'll revoke your scholarship. The rest of that info can be found in the scholarship letter.

Yeah, I just saw that right now. I wonder if they are open to granting extensions....

They told me there were no funds with my response yesterday. I brought 2 80k+ offers from ND and BU and didn't get another dime

Hmmm, that must just be their way of politely saying no. Someone on Reddit received the same response from USC a couple of weeks ago and I almost didn't try to negotiate as a result. Sorry they didn't send any love your way.
