[USC Price 2020]

USC Price was my top choice and I was offered a dean's merit scholarship that covers 100% of my tuition, so it looks like I'm probably going there. The only downside of going to USC is that I'd have to move across the country (I have lived in the midwestern US for my entire life) and I am really concerned about the cost of living in LA... Are the GradCafe forums a good place to look for potential roommates?

My feeling is that Facebook is probably more apt for the housing hunt, but I don't have any specific resources for you. (USC's university housing is laughably expensive, but I don't think anyone's surprised by that.) I'm an LA native, and I'm probably going to look for a place that's Expo Line-accessible. 

Anyone commit to going to their Admitted Student Day yet? Wondering if the COVID-19 madness will force them to change/cancel...

Do we know the likely date for when decisions are going to be announced?

Last year it looks like decisions came out on March 12th.

I got my acceptance on Friday (2/21) and a packet in the mail on Monday (2/24) with the Admitted Student Day information. The packet did not include anything about funding. Did I not get any funding?

From what I can tell, everyone who got funding info only heard about it via the mailed packet. Maybe call to verify?

Do we know when admitted students day is ? I went through my decision letters and didn't see anything there. 

I'm a domestic student, my mailed admissions packet included some info on Admitted Students Day. It's on Friday 3/27, the packet included the info needed to RSVP online.

Word on the street is that there's no longer a separate Dean's Merit event, so the general Admitted Students Day should have everyone (Friday, March 27th).
