Hello all, don’t mind my username, I was 17 when I created this account and my goals have completely changed haha!
I am so excited to be at the point of transferring! It feels like my hard work is finally getting me places. I was obsessively checking the CC and discord for transfers last year and what I learned was that a wide variety of GPAs get accepted. Hopefully, that helps ease some of the anxiety.
I am hoping to get into Marshall Leventhal
Here are my stats: I had a 2.6GPA at the beginning of Fall 2020 (a very difficult time in my life, and was explained in my essay)
I now have a GPA of 3.6
Cumulative 3.3
President of Student Events (student gov’t)
Accounting Club
And a business club at my CC
-I work full-time and am a mom.
-I was able to get recommendations from the advisor of student services and my supervisor.
-All prereqs have been met
@CADREAMIN apologies for the tag, but I have a quick question. Do USC counselors take forever to reply? I contacted mine 5 times (obviously spread apart, not spamming them) and I still have not gotten a response within these 6 months. What should I do? Should I contact a different counselor?
Sadly, some can be awful, but that is really awful. Try calling admissions and mention you have reached out for several months with no reply and ask if they have another person they can give you. Sometimes advisors leave and you don’t know it. For some advisors being responsive is not their strong suit unfortunately, and frankly, unacceptable. We see it over and over again. It’s ok to have questions and they should be there to answer them for you.
Not really. Scholarships for transfers are very limited. You could apply to outside scholarships or check the USC scholarship list to see if any are avaible for transfers to apply to. But generally speaking, the bulk of scholarships are for incoming freshman.
Anyone received an email suggesting participating “Transfer credit self-reporting tool”? It says it was sent to ALL applicants and nothing to do with admission decision. This tool is meant to accelerate process for transfering credit. But why would they send this to applicants not certain to be admitted?
Getting transfer credit nailed down has always been a slow process with results showing in your portal long after you have to commit and close to classes starting. So this would be a step to help that process. They haven’t begun to evaluate tranfer acceptances yet, so it going to everyone makes sense.
I applied last year on a whim and I got my decision on June 11th along with many in the discord chat that was made. At that point, it was a mix of rejections and acceptances.
I’m really hoping that we all hear back before May 1st, to avoid paying an enrollment fee to another school.
Hello. I applied as a sophomore transfer for fall 2022 with a gpa of 3.93 and 61 credits in progress (24 from high school, 18 from fall 2021 and 19 in progress during spring 2022). I am applying as a theatre and poli sci double major. My question is with my majors do I still have to complete the math requirements? I am in progress of completing my writing requirements.
Another question is that can USC accept double majors like me? And when do they notify us of our results? I know that it has always been may 31st but I’m hoping this year they release it earlier?
There’s no such thing as “applying” as a double-major, whatever 1st choice you choose they consider as you’re main major, I’m just gonna assume Poli Sci, looking at the requirements rn I’m seeing they “recommend” POSC100 (Theory and Practice of American Democracy) and POSC120 (Comparative Politics), in addition the basic requirements are WRIT130 (which you mentioned youre doing), the minimum math for USC is atleast Algebra 2 with a C. Now that math req. can be in progress at time of submission (spring), but if you haven’t even started that that’d be a problem.
Now your second question, dw about being like ‘double-majored’ that’s fine, once you get into USC then you declare a second major and it’s super easy b/c its private. But everyone is always accepted in as a single major.
Third question, people say from late april up til June 1st. It’s possible to get an SGR and then it’ll be delayed till like June 11th.
Also, at USC everyone needs to do GE’s as you know and USC’s thing is that you need one GE-F class (Quantitative Reasoning), which for example would be microecon, pre-calc, algebra, math for lib arts, etc… You could’ve completed that at from your prev. college or at USC, but point is literally every single student at USC needs to have completed one “math”/“quant” type class.
Hi. Thanks for the helpful info. I’ve got a follow up question for math.
So I’m taking MATH102 at Loyola Marymount which is a transferrable credit for USC’s GE-F class. However I cannot find a course code at LMU that is equivalent to intermediate algebra at USC. I’ve also done IB Math AI SL and 3 years of math in High School. Does this satisfy requirements or will it jeopardize my chances of admission?
Okay so looking into it there isn’t a hard and fast “REQUIREMENT” for math, like there is for English WRIT 130 - which they will literally not admit you if you haven’t taken. It seems like the minimum math requirement is more like a strong suggestion of “lets see what they’re working with” rather than a binary “no alg 2 no admit”.
I saw in USC articulation history that your MATH102 does transfer for math credit and that means they recognize it as a ‘college’ level math course. Also considering you took Calc in high school everything should be fine.
