Ok i uploaded my high school transcriptt though and a couple hours later I got a green checkmark so i should be good then for that one right?
I was able to send my official transcript for High School as well because my High School used Parchment. So everything for me says awaiting. I sent them on 01/26. I will wait 1-2 more weeks and if it doesnāt come then iāll contact usc to ask what to do.
Did you send your official College transcript electronically from your own personal email address?
no I uploaded my college transcript to common app so they already had it with my application, I uploaded my hs transcript myself
Forsure . I think I uploaded my unofficial Colloege transcript onto common app when I submitted , but I just sent my official College transcript to usc through my own personal email today. I tried to upload my official one on my applicant portal but it doesnāt give the option for official, only unofficial. Do you have any advice on that?
How much do high school grades matter when transferring?
My high school GPA is a 3.3 My school didnt offer AP courses
I had a very unique situation during high school which I explained in my essay
And I worked full time jobs throughout all 4 years. Iāve done lots of volunteer work.
Im currently a Freshman at SMC, honor student with a 4.0 and Iām part of 2 clubs, board member of one.
Not a legacy student or anything. What do you think my chances are? Any advice?
No Iām not sure but I would def email your AO for more info if it doesnāt get approved within a few days or so, my AO has been pretty responsive and you find their email on USCās website
How many classes have you taken at college, or how many units? I believe for community college if you have anything below 30 units as a transfer applicant then they look at your high school grades.
Currently Iāve completed 18 by the time decisions come out itāll be 32
I believe it matters if you finish 30 by the end of spring, and then they donāt take HS into account as much, correct me if Iām wrong! I think if your HS grades arenāt great you should take all the major prereqs, take the max GEās and try for that 4.0. Cause then there isnāt much else you can do. Theyāll probably just send you a SGR. I had a 3.0 in HS and they told me High School wonāt matter because Iāll have 30+ units by the end of spring. Last years thread I saw some ppl with 2.9-3.2s in high school get in as a sophomore transfer having a 4.0 at a CC.
I also asked the counselor on the how to transfer to USC page if they look as much into your HS grades and they responded
āOur focus is always on college grades but we may still ask to see spring grades if your high school performances wasnāt as strong or if youāre taking a particular course we feel we need a grade forā.

Thank you! This makes me feel so much better because I went to a charter hs so I can work while attending school and took 0 APs. A lot of people kept saying if you didnāt take APs in hs you have no chance of getting in.
Will a late letter of rec be accepted? I recently got close with one of my professors.

Yes you can still send in letters of rec and any updates that are worth noting. They will add them to your file. They donāt process transfer apps for awhile.
does anyone know where I can send a new schedule of classes I am taking this semester. I tried emailing my counselor but they arnt responding.

Yeah same. But donāt worry, i emailed my counselor and she said it is just taking time, everything should be in by the end of the month, apparently the system is overflowed right now because of 1st year stuff and the incoming transfer. and they prioritize the 1st year documents because their decision comes out first. so i wouldnāt worry unless it still says awaiting by the start of next month.

My transcripts are also not processed yet. 
it is a little odd.
I was conditionally accepted to CSULB on 2/16 and CSULB asked for my transcripts I sent them on the 16th (2 days ago) and they are already processed. USC I sent transcripts to about a week prior to the deadline (back in January) and they still are not showing.
yāall think usc is gonna accept a lot of ppl this year like last year cuz of covid and all? i have the stats but Iām just so nervous still lol
I feel like this year more people will be applying so a part of me believes less spots will be available, but the other part believes that they might be a little more lenient bc of COVID. But yeah I am extremely nervous too.

USC takes their sweet time with the admission process, especially the transfer admission. Donāt worry about your transcripts not being processed, they wonāt be getting to your files until late April. Decisions wonāt come out until May and they drag on until mid July. It is so brutal. I wish yāall the best of luck!
