I am interested in transferring to USC as an incoming junior from my 4 year institution I currently am at. By the time my fall semester is completed I will have over 70 credits already completed. I know USC only accepts around 60 credits or so from your previous school (correct me if I am wrong) so would they not take certain classes into consideration for my GPA? or would my GPA still consist of all the classes I have taken thus far? Thanks
Hi everyone! I have some questions regarding the transfer application process. I am currently a freshman at BU and am taking SM131 (Basically an Intro to Business Class), Microeconomics, Calculus 1, and WR120. I want to transfer to the Marshall School of Business and was kind of confused as to the GE requirements for USC. I know that the specific requirements for Marshall are WR150, which I’m taking during the spring semester, and Calculus, but how many other GE courses am I required to take to be eligible for transfer? What other courses do you guys recommend I take?
Hey everyone! I’m not sure yet but I’m thinking about transferring from my 4 year next year. I’m a first year
It’s too early to tell exactly what I’ll get this semester but at least a 3.9. I also have a 1510 SAT if that helps :/. I know these are good stats but I’m applying for engineering so I’m hoping for the best.
@JustynKim228 You aren’t required to finish the GE requirements for transfer. They will be required to graduate. The best advice I can give is do a good mix of major related courses and GE classes.
@DDHH2017 It’s important you do well in the Viterbi requirements like Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics. They’re a little more lenient with your Physics grade though. But you should get As in your calc classes.
Hello everyone. I have not been on this site for so long. Anyway, just a refresher, I am currently at GMU and am in the Honors College. I would like you to give me feedback on if these two courses would fulfill any transfer requirements. Note that these courses have varying topics between each section. I have contacted my counselor about these courses, and while she cannot verify if they count, she did say they look like they fit the deal.
HNRS 122: Reading the Arts
Section: Expression in Video Games
I did this course for Fall 2018. Would it fulfill the Arts requirement?
HNRS 230: Cross Cultural Perspectives
Section: Indigenous and Modern Society
I will do this course for Spring 2019. Would it fulfill the Social Analysis requirement?
@StipendAwarded You should really be contacting your transfer advisor at USC. There is no way anyone here can tell you if those count with any kind of certainty.
@CADREAMIN Hello again. I mentioned in the above post that I had contacted my USC counselor. Is that the same as the transfer advisor?
Note that from the matriculation agreement between USC and GMU, I did not see any honors courses, meaning not many people from the Honors College at GMU tried transferring (either successfully or not) into USC. Are the courses listed on he matriculation agreement from those who successfully transferred? What would I do about the matriculation?
Just to double check, I accidentally took GLOA 101: Introduction to Global Affairs which I thought meant the same as Intro to International Relations on the USC Transfer booklet. I later found out after the drop deadline that I took the wrong class. While it may not meet the Social Analysis requirement, does it still meet the Citizenship in a Diverse World requirement? Bear in mind I checked in with my USC Counselor about this.
@woshua You can use the additional are to fit something that there isn’t space or doesn’t fit subject wise in your essays or the activities areas. You don’t have to just fill the space, many don’t add anything there at all, but if you have something you think adds value (not something like "USC is my dream school) to your application, you can put it that.
Has anyone paid addressed the past few posts I made (outside of the first one) about whether or not certain classes fulfill transfer requirements? Especially that one about Global Awareness?
@CADREAMIN How would I put in an extracurricular such as Student Government? Or an extracurricular where I did not hold any position?
dumb question but i currently have a gpa of about 3.64. how would that affect my chances of being accepted?
my gpa should be higher after this semester but i am freaking out a little about one of my classes.
im currently a sophmore polisci major and soc minor at a state school.

@AndyWarski I listed some of my courses in the preceding posts. Can you analyze to see if I could use them for transfer requirements? Note that I have looked at the Matriculation Agreement and talked to my USC counselor.
