<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I've looked all over the UC sites, and individual school sites as well as my local CC's and can't find any good information relevant to my situation.</p>
<p>I'm a current USC student, going into my second semester (Fall 2010, I was a spring admit) and am trying to explore my options due to the fact that my parents may not be able to continue to afford USC's cost of attendance.</p>
<p>I got into UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCD as a high school student but was rejected from UCLA and Cal.
I also took 8 AP tests and scored a 4 or higher on 7 of them, and a 3 on Calc BC.
I've taken a look at IGETC lists and these AP tests satisfy a solid amount of these requirements.</p>
<p>Long story short, does my high school admission affect my ability to transfer in anyway? Also, will my AP credits help me in this situation? I also have 25 semester units on top of this from summer school and USC.</p>
<p>Hope that made sense, thanks for anyone's help!</p>
<p>Since you’d be applying as a Junior transfer, they would not put much, if any, emphasize on your high school career.
I would talk to your USC counselor about what USC courses will transfer over. Your AP credits will help you fulfill IGETC and, if necessary, get those 60 semester units.</p>
<p>Yes, the 25 units will count towards your 60 unit quota. High school admission will not matter at all; you start with a clean slate when you are at CC.</p>
<p>Yeah they don’t look at high school grades at all when you apply as a transfer.</p>
<p>In fact, they don’t even see your high school transcript until you fill out a SIR for the school you want to attend.</p>
<p>Well, they didn’t ever ask to see my HS transcipt at all. (for UCLA, but don’t know why the other UC’s would be any different)</p>
<p>You should call them to make sure they don’t need it.</p>
<p>Unless UCLA specifically asks you for your high school transcript, you don’t need to send it to them. Check the “Admissions” section on your MyUCLA page. It’ll let you know there if you need to submit a high school transcript. For me, it says that I don’t need to submit a high school transcript.</p>
<p>yeah, i agree with everyone else, i dont think highschool will matter when you transfer, but just wondering how much does it cost to go to USC? i think i read somewhere that tuition was around 40k a year do you get some intense payment plans for that or how did your parents pay for it at the start?</p>
<p>As others have said, the UC’s won’t even ask about your high school record unless you’re using three years of foreign language to fulfill that requirement. Even in that case though it’s only a question of whether you took the courses, not what grade you received in them.</p>
<p>You do have an opportunity to list your AP Scores though.</p>
<p>your ap scores will definitely count towards units AND IGETC, but as mentioned before i would go to your usc councilor and see what all would transfer to a UC as far as your USC units. with those 25 units, and a possible 21 units from your AP tests, you are only 14 units shy of the 60 needed to transfer with IGETC and TAG. </p>
<p>i would see how close you are to fulfilling IGETC with all said courses and if you really CANT stay at USC, you should go home and go to a CC for a semester or year and transfer back out to a UC </p>
<p>ps, to my knowledge, private schools such as USC are the easiest universities to get scholarships and school based fin aid… maybe go to a councilor and address your need to him and try to stay at USC? i mean… thats a pretty strong degree if you stay there.</p>
