USC SCA Admitted Student's Day!

we should just all meet up at a location in the morning and walk in to this thing like we already own the joint.

someone should carry a boombox on their shoulder playing eye of the tiger.

or not.
 
Good: I'll be in tentacles. Youthquake will hit play on the boombox and we'll knock it out like Rocky III. We start at the School of Dentistry across the street and go spilling into the SCA courtyard. Break into group dance at the end. They won't know what hit em.

Seriously, I'd be into a quick studentfilms.com meetup shortly before, maybe walking distance to SCA. We can all wear I Heart Jayimess t-shirts.

Youthquake and I are also mulling post-event drinks and dinner. If you're into it, shout out.
 
Y'all crack me up.

They don't want you bringing mom/dad/significant others because they want you to get to know each other, not retreat into a corner.

I'm not going to be at this year's event, but I hope it helps you guys make any choices you may be struggling with.

Have questions. Expect answers. And remember that the USC catering snickerdoodles are very, very good. If you see any, stock up, and your tablemates will thank you. Or at least I would, if I was sitting at your table.
 
I'd like to see you guys too.
My last name is 'YonKondy'. Grab me if you spot me.
Or, where can we meet afterwards? Anybody know the geography?
Jon
 
I'll be outside the SCA gate that faces the School of Dentistry around 11:30.

I'd be down to hang out afterwards too.
 
I won't be able to attend the event - simply put: too far! That being said; please feel free to introduce yourself if you happen to see a Turkish screenwriter named Levin after the school starts.

Take care
 
Hey guys. I just joined the forums and got am accepted for the Spring 2011 semester so I'll be at grad day because I figured it would help me make my choice.

Anyone else have opinions on how to dress? I'm really kind of at a loss here. When I did a UNO event, I dressed up and felt over-dressed. When I interviewed at FSU, I was more casual but everyone else was wearing a shirt and tie. WHAT'S APPROPRIATE?

I was planning on grabbing a casual suit (need to buy a new one anyway) for the event and just where the suit but not a tie. Does this sound cool?
 
I wouldn't wear a suit. This is film school. You are already in, so no need to dress like an interview for a corporate job.

Dress like you would on any other day, be comfortable, just a bit nicer. Like a first date, or the first day of school.

But not like an interview. You'll just be uncomfortable.
 
Looking forward to meeting all of you soon! I'm planning to arrive on the 8th to check out campus since I've never been there. Anyone interested in meeting up and touring together?
 
hey Marisah,

I'll be on campus the morning before the event and wouldn't mind touring around 10:00 right before the luncheon...let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
 
10 the day of works for me, too. We could always just meet in the courtyard of the SCA building - there are some tables out there clustered in one corner, IIRC. Though I suppose they may have shifted things around...
 
haha early birds. I don't wanna get up that early to drive from west LA. I toured in the Fall, and saw Pete Carrol and the football team practicing in front of the library...It was pretty awesome. oh and i guess their brand new production facilities are sort of ok.

I swear, the new facilities are cloning themselves, they've almost finished three more buildings in a year! Sadly, I'm graduating before they open...

Have fun at the event, y'all.
