Other supplement, I spoke about the alumni network, different programs Marshall has to offer, and how overall I am just the embodiment of the whole “Fight on!” school message due to my health diagnosis.
[] Letters of Recommendation: None (in additional info section talked about how I was applying rather close to the deadline due to uncertainty regarding my health, but I talked about some of the things my professor who offered me the internship said about me and stuff)

[list]
[] Other schools applied to: Tulane (Accepted with highest transfer merit scholarship, but declined admission - too expensive).
Rejected form USC last year with a 3.8 GPA. Applied for Communications, and applied again this year for the same major. I have a 3.52 GPA as of now, (including honors classes) and I’m currently studying abroad at the University of Oxford. I’m extremely nervous, have been getting rejected from pretty much all UCs (got into Chapman). My Chapman and USC application were a lot better though… Wish me luck!
ACCEPTED TO MARSHALL!!!
CCC GPA 3.95
some ECs including internships and volunteer works
1 recommendation from my statistic professor
international student
I don’t know is it matter but my brother just graduated from USC last year
btw I got waitlisted by UCSD and UCI lol
hi guys, i just got SGR’ed and portal updated with a SGR letter on april 27th. does anyone know how i should send them my spring grades? Also does SGR typically mean i’m going to get in as long as i mantain (or higher) my gpa from fall semester? I’m a sophomore transfer from Pepperdine university btw! thanks!
@fluffybunny14 Are you saying that the portal just updated with your letter today? interesting that they do it on a weekend.
There should be specific instructions on how to send spring grades; imagine you will have to send an official transcript from Pepperdine.
And no, SGR doesn’t really mean anything. There was a guy on here who got a SGR, got a 4.0, and got rejected. There’s also another guy on here that got an SGR solely because they wanted to see their spring math class grade. They got rejected cause they got a B
Don’t want to discourage you or anything; but yeah it could go either way at this point. Good luck!
@thedailyjav there’s a really good booklet that comes with your acceptance package that breaks down all the housing options including amenities, floor plan, meals plans, and the rates depending on the number of roommates. Or visit http://housing.usc.edu/
