<p>Hey everybody.</p>
<p>CLARIFICATION: this is to transfer from OCC. A USC feeder school.</p>
<p>So I currently have a 3.0 as of right now. Im applying now for next fall and will be sending in my grades shortly for this fall semester. I should have a 4.0 this semester, maybe a 3.8 at the lowest. So ill have a 3.45ish overall. I have tons of extra curriculars (sports, volunteer work, prom king & school spirit involvement, etc). I'm diverse (parents never went to college and are immigrants), fluent in reading and writing of 2 languages and can speak 3. Paying for school in full. I know what I want (USC MARSHALL BUSINESS) and I have made that clear as my father is an entrepreneur as am I. I have been involved with business from a young age and have many accomplishments in the field which I have disclosed in my application. I have many LOR's from powerful people (former Herbalife owner, etc.). Essentially, my GPA is on the lower side but I think everything else should compensate. I want to know what you guys think about my chances at USC? Any tips for the common app? I will apply again if necessary as it's my dream school. I've been told I have no chance, that I have a great chance, and everything in between. ALSO: HOW MUCH HARDER IS IT TO GET INTO MARSHALL? Can they accept me to the school but not to Marshall? Should I apply undecided? Can I go for a semester then transfer in?</p>
<p>PS i'm Hispanic (south American) if that helps to clarify.
ALSO: I have a strong upward trend in grades. (2.8-3.4-4.0) 3 last semesters</p>
<p>WILL CHANCE BACK.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!!!!</p>
