2017 - 2018 USC Transfer

@Transfer510 If nobody really hears by the end of this week, next week (the 24th) should surely be the first batch of decisions. A fair number of applicants hear back in late April.

what day of the week do they release decisions? does anyone know?

Who here is on the Viterbi bandwagon?

@stahboy me!

@zettasyntax are you serious???

Me too

I’m so worried LOL

Is anybody else applying to Dornslife? I’ve seen a bunch of Marshall or Viterbi applicants on this thread, but not a lot of Dornslife!

@Shuisazn i am!

@bettycrocker03 dornslife applicants unite!! LMAO I actually have no idea what they prefer and whatnot ;;

What major are you? ^^

Does anyone know if it is hard to get into International Relations major? Thanks!

For those of you asking how hard it is to get into a certain major, for the most part, it’s about the same, especially within schools like Dornsife, it really depends on how impacted your major is - that is how many people are currently in that major and how many people are applying for that major.
The more impacted (the more full) a major is, the harder and more competitive it will be. The numbers change every year because people graduate or switch majors and each applicant pool is different so it is hard to say how hard it is to get into a major.
But it’s definitely super competitive to get into the School of Dramatic Arts, Cinematic Arts, some Marshall and Viterbi majors, more so than Dornsife because in the art schools there are less majors offered and they are more broad. While as in Dornsife, the majors are more split/specific - like there’s a major for psychological and sociology etc.

@Shuisazn global studies, what about you?

@Shuisazn I also applied for Dornsife, English/Creative Writing major!

Does that mean that this week is realistic? I applied to Annenberg, and for the longest time I’ve been absent-mindedly anticipating a decision in late-May. I hope you’re right!!!

@Shuisazn I’m applying to Dornsife too. Psychology.

Dornsife-Economics for me.

Physics :^)

Dornsife- Sociology!

what I hope is that I’ll get an answer (and if accepted, aid offer) at least before other schools’ deposits are due, but I have a feeling I’m not gonna hear back till June/July. I guess that doesn’t matter if I don’t get in anywhere else lol :((

How important are the essays for transferring into Viterbi?
