@goldnred what are you stats
@welchie98 I will be applying as a sophomore actually… i was rejected last year as a senior with a 4.5/3.98 GPA and 34 ACT
I’m going to be applying for psychology!
Does anyone know how weak it’ll look on my viterbi application if I don’t take a science course than is transferrable? My current school is making me take a required physics class that is not lab based for my first year, so I will not be able to transfer those credits because USC doesn’t accept them.
Also does anyone know how/when we should contact our advisors for questions and concerns? Is now a good time to do so?
Anytime is fine as long as it is a valid question where the answer isn’t on the website. Email, they don’t answer phones.

@nicolehigriffin Yes you should start contacting your advisor for questions they are very helpful during this process. I have already contacted mine since last year 
haha.
I will be applying as a Junior Transfer for Dornsife- Psych!
I currently have a 3.625 GPA and will try to get a 4.0 :)>- this upcoming fall semester, I can’t wait to start this journey with you guys!

Current units: 35
CCC: Pasadena City College

I went to the transfer information session yesterday and I forgot to ask if we’re allowed to have a second choice major? I’m planning to apply at Marshall’s as well.
Anyone know how likely it is to be accepted as a transfer from a UC school?
@madelineasa525 USC is a private school, so coming from a UC shouldn’t really have an impact on your transcript.
