Do you guys think bad high school grades matter for junior transfer students? like do they make a student seem less competitive?
I donât think itâs bad. Especially you have a competitive GPA at your current school. If you had bad grades in HS, and a great GPA at your current school, youâre obviously going to show an upward trend in your academics, which USC favors upward trends.

I donât think theyâd play much of a role if youâre going to be a junior. If youâre less than 30 units, yeah, they might factor into things a little. If it makes you feel any better, I didnât have any HS coursework to report. I was so embarrassed. I went to my HS to get my transcripts and picked up two sealed copies. I opened one and was surprised to see it was entirely blank. I guess I was only there for about 2 months, so I shouldnât have really expected any grades when I didnât make it to finals. Still, I thought my attempted coursework would be on there.

Cannot wait to find out this week. I am the most impatient person ever hahaha. Random question but do any of you guys have Wâs? I have one and I just feel like it would cost me admission

Same I retook it but apparently it makes you less competitive so Iâm wondering if anyone with a W has ever gotten in
I have four and I got them âexcusedâ due to me gaining progress renewal (not the same as academic renewal) and Iâm not too worried about it. I went from a 3.5 to a 3.87 with all Aâs and they heavily admire upward trends from applicants. Withdrawals are not dealbreakers (admissions knows this), as long as you have or had an opportunity to explain why they happened (I had family issues and was still trying to figure out my major at the time). One isnât going to kill you, but if you got a W from a preq class that is required for your major, then thatâs an issue that you NEED to explain.
Sorry for such a condensed paragraph but I didnât want to make multiple comments.

Thank you for sharing! it wasnât a prerequisite! Itâs was a intro to chem class (fall 2019). I retook another chem class that is higher level- gen chem, bio chem, ochem combination. So I hope that is over looked. I explained how I have huge responsibility in raising my siblings in my essays but I never got to explain a health issues that I have that was the reason for the W

Youâre welcome! Explaining yourself is the best way to go, and if they see that within your application, it doesnât automatically mean that youâll get rejected. The four Wâs I have donât currently pertain to my major now (I switched from business admin to BFA design) which is why Iâm not spending time thinking about it.

Thank you! I really can see myself going here and hard work, works! It wasnât easy but I donât settle for anything less, and no one else here should either. Weâre all in the same boat waiting here, but it the end it will pay off for everyone and I wish you and everyone in this forum (active or not) the best of luck to get into USC. We all deserve it.
