I thought USC didn't award conditional scholarships and, therefore, no incentive would exist to "section stack."Shema wrote:EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION ALERTdietcoke1 wrote:is the admissions instagram page really going to release exclusive information? sounds like they're just trying to get insta followers
Section Stacking
While no formal proof of this exist, over the years several students have reported that there seems to be one 1L section that has the toughest professors and consist of more students from top undergrads, higher LSATs and scholarships. If this were true, the reason it matters is because the curve in such a section would be more difficult given the students one would compete against. At first glance this may seem like urban legend. In fact, the allegations are made at other schools in and around LA. Among the rationals for section stacking is to pit conditional scholarship holders against one another as a means of increasing tuition dollars later after a substantial amount of conditional scholarship holders fail to satisfy the GPA condition. (as is inevitable given a fixed curve). Again I do not know whether this is true and even if it is there is little we can do about it. But its our job to assure that we have the best GPA to put us in the best position to land jobs. Thus, its always a good idea to assess your competition once school begins so that you can make decisions (and sometimes alliances) that put you in the best position to be successful.
Yeah actually that is false. Spoke to a few 3Ls. They said the only way to loose your scholarship is to flunk out. They all assured me that no one would flunk out.Shema wrote:

Well that's no good. I will wear business casual or even business professional if that's the look but I feel like it would be a bit silly to preview the school in such an obvious charade. I want to feel the real vibe of campus and classmates, and I do not want first impressions of everything to be so stuffy. We aint gonna be wearing business dress to class (at least not the majority of the time).Mr_Chukes wrote:They didn't send out anything about how to dress.

I'm going to be wearing causal wear. Yeah I got the same email. I think they just sent it out to everyone lol. When I went to the basketball game, no one was really dressed up. Not even the Dean of Admissions.BoyJord wrote:Well that's no good.

Also has anyone reserved their scholly and then received an email reminding them to reserve their scholarship? Just got that email and it has me concerned that they have not processed or received my reservation.
Rad. I am all about casual wear. I feel like it is way easier to get to know people when you are dressed casually. I am sure there is some academic paper that would give merit to my belief that there is some psychic phenomenon related to casual wear and capacity for intimate conversation. I'll let you all look that up though.Mr_Chukes wrote:I'm going to be wearing causal wear. Yeah I got the same email. I think they just sent it out to everyone lol.
