thank you and good luck to you and everybody else!!!
How do you do that?
hey guys! iām a CC student from Illinois applying to transfer in as a junior to USC. my highschool stats are very poor so iām afraid that may harm my chances of admission. Iām majoring in Political Science and have completed my courses with a 3.9 GPA. I wish you guys all the best of luck! weāve got this :))
hey guys! how do you check stats?
i did too! i actually had the same thoughts about my uc piqās compared to my usc essays but now that weāre finally getting responses rolling iām starting to think maybe i couldāve worded things differently n suchā¦ not fun 
but nothing we can do now besides stand by what we put out^^
hopefully we both come out with a W so this wait can be worth it!! 
If you have an iPhone:
First I would suggest creating a contact with any USC contact information in your contact list. After this,
Go to your Mail app
Upper Right Side should be blue āeditāā¦ click on it
Make sure to check mark āVIPā and then click done. This should return you to the main mailbox page.
You will see VIP on the list and to the right is an āIā icon click it.
Add VIP
Find your USC contact that you created.
Then go to VIP alerts and pick a sound that is not used on your phoneā¦ I picked āupliftā personally but it has to be a sound that you know if you hear it it could only be an update from your VIP list and customize the rest of the alert as you see fit.
Thatās it. If you want to test it add your personal email to the vip list and send an email to yourself on another device. If you receive the email notification with the new alert then you set it up correctly.

Donāt worry! If you completed over 30 units at a CC, they donāt factor high school grades into the final decision. However, they will still see them, so if you did better then it will only help you! I believe in you

Does anyone know how similar the UCLA and USC admissions process is? I got into all my other UCs I applied to except UCLA and that completely shot my confidence down for USC lol
lolll nah my essays were doodoo I wrote them the day before 
I believe USC is more holistic than UCLA. Because they usually receive less transfer applicants, they pay much closer attention to each application than UCLA- the most widely applied to public university in the US.
USC takes into consideration letters of recommendation, grade trends, # of units, and especially essays.
Even though I was rejected from UCLA as well, I have more faith in USC because more of my classes were transferrable- which means I have more units, a higher gpa, comprehensive recommendations, and I took a different approach to the essays. You should too. Good luck!

Ah damn! Iāve seen so many people with 4.0ās apply to USC, itās really daunting- you should have a fantastic chance though. My 3.79 pales in comparison (Iām not sure if itās going to be enough), but we will wait and seeā¦
I got into UCI but got two consecutive rejections from UC Berkeley and UCLA. USC has always been my #1, I really hope my application stands a chance. Committed to UCI early in case USC rejects me.
