Great post. Exactly what I wanted to say in response to all the posts about transcripts not posting, but you said it perfectly!

Does anyone know if we have to complete both Global Perspective GEās prior to transferring? Because I only satisfied one of them.
If weāre transferring as a sophomore from UCI, is sending the transcript through Parchment the correct method? Thatās what it said on the UCI website but there still isnāt a checkmark on my USC portal.
iām also transferring from uci (freshman rn) and i also sent my transcript from parchment over a week before feb 1, and itās still not in my portal. like others have already said above, it takes a long time and we just have to wait, it will be in.
You do not have to complete all your GEās prior to transferring, although it is beneficial and time saving to complete most of your GEās before entering USC.
Hopefully, USC releases their decisions around mid-April just as they did previous years because waiting for decisions is the worst feeling ever.
Yup, looking at the last two years, Iām hoping for April 1-20 ish for the first round acceptances. Waiting till May sounds like agony.

Or worse, June July. I think itās wild that a lot of safety schools require your deposit by May 1. However, we wonāt get notified of reach/dreams/priority schools till after the date. So, do I gamble? or do I lose the money? itās a weird cycle of financial abuse.
Yes, it is just brutal. Last year, I got my denial on July 11th!
USC does guarantee that you decision is posted by June 1st and I believe they give you more than enough time to guarantee your spot if accepted.

July 11th? Brutal Noodle!!! George Washington has a great policy program for what I want to do. Unfortunately , last year some decisions didnāt come out until July 18. Finding a place in DC in that time frame for fall is wild.

They may promise such, but look at past years posts. Many, including myself, did not hear back until mid-July. Since they donāt have a waitlist, they wait to see how many commit and then fill the spaces accordingly. It is brutal, but itās USC, so itās worth the pain.

Notre Dame has a late transfer notification as well, I guess I like the Pain. USC, Notre Dame and GW all in June & July. I guess the way I see it, Brown and Princeton are before that so if I get absolutely crushed in May then June and July will offer some hope.

Canāt you extend your deposist before commiting to a school? Like if I donāt hear from SC till July, canāt I ask UCSB (My safety school) for an extension for the deposit? Idk

Oh wow. I never knew USC didnāt have a waitlist. Also, they should be upfront about their decision dates, rather than promising false hopes to applicants.

did u guys hear about USC giving out airpods for Marshall students in their acceptance letters. I heard it was for those that got the scholarship, I was just wondering if transfer students would be considered for the same scholarship. And if so would people receive later compared to the freshman applicants.

Transfers are only eligible for transfer scholarships. There are 40 of them for quarter tuition ($14,815). Marshall always gives cool gifts to the pres and trustee scholars they are trying to attract.
Post edit - remember that scholarships are merit based, there is still financial aid.
