Hey no groupme was created (I don't think) but here's a link! Feel free to join -- GroupMe
Don't forget there's also this option:


But I suggest starting a thread for it for accepted applicants where people can request to be added to the conversation or private message thread. :)

We've recently added a feature similar to GroupMe where members (any members - not just Supporting Members) can create Group Threads that only members the thread starter invites can see. :)


More features are coming soon.
 
USC HOUSING!!

Hey All! As I finish up my time at USC (I was a spring 22 admit, it's been an absolute DREAM!), I wanted to see if anyone is looking for a a studio apartment near campus. Quite a few film students live in my building because it's a really short walk to the film school building.

Some deets:
  • In the safest area near campus - 10 minute walk to the Film School Building
  • Hoover and West 29th Street
  • 5 minute walk from Trader Joe’s grocery store, Target, and all the restaurants at USC Village. (in general, if you’re trying to live walking distance, thenorth side of campus is safest).
  • $1700/month, utilities usually ~65/month.
  • Has Heat and A/C
  • Laundry in building
  • Super secure gated entry with bike rack and picnic table
  • Thick walls (quiet)
  • Sweet responsive live-in super. 2nd floor unit up oneflight of stairs
  • Cute Juliet Balcony
  • Can come partially furnished with a full bed and bedframe + desk/table, and fridge, microwave,
    stove/oven.
  • No pets

  • Video tour/pics here: Apt 201 - Google Drive

Email me at MORRALL@USC.EDU if interested. Go Trojans!

I’m currently working on some stuff for the Fall 2025 application and felt this would be the best thread to ask this question, so I hope it’s okay to do so!

For anyone who got in or was waitlisted for Fall 2024, there’s a section for the general USC Graduate Application that I just wanted some input on. For the Supporting Information section, did anyone submit anything other than their CV/Resume for the Documents section? The other 4 options allow you to select something like “I won’t be adding _____” and marks the section as completed.

I just want to make sure only submitting my resume won’t negatively impact anything. Thanks for any info you can give!
