Hi everyone. Thanks, Paul, for starting this group! I'm currently an undergrad at USC and am pursuing MPP programs for next fall and will be attending USC's dean's merit event tomorrow (march 23). I'm pretty set on continuing my education at USC, but I still need to do more research on a couple other programs I'm considering. Hoping tomorrow's event will help me solidify my decision.
Helpplease123: I also need to meet the stats requirement, since I took stats freshman year of college and I guess they think it's too long ago to still be relevant. Kind of a hassle, but oh well. Basically, from what I know, you can take a kind of preliminary stats course either in the summer (according to the usc course catalog, it's offered online) before attending or just take it next year when you come, you'll just have to push back another class. Seems pretty doable, from what I've read.
USC is an AMAZING university and community. If you guys have any questions about student life, I'd be happy to help out.
Hope to meet some of you tomorrow!
