Transfer Students

<p>i'm a sophomore at a community college in florida and i'm wondering whether or not i have a good chance of getting admitted to usc. for my 3 years in high school, i attended 4 different schools in the philippines. then i spent my senior year in florida. three of the schools didn't have clubs; this is why i don't have a lot of ec's.</p>

<p>hs gpa (3.8 something/4.00; about 4.3/5.0)
college gpa (3.87- a b in physics, the rest of my grades are a's so far)
total # of credits: 48 - 31 (fall/spring last school year). for this sem, i have 5 classes = 17 credits.
ec's: (junior year) lifesaver's club, won an art contest (i was working with a group then), a reporter for the school paper, won a science/math contest (i worked with a team, once again; it was only held within the school)
(college) i just joined ptk. but i don't have the time for ec's since i take 5 classes per semester. i don't work bc i can't. i only help out my mom with the chores, sometimes.
major: engineering
sat: 1080 (510v/570m: that was 2 years ago... i just took the sat again today.)</p>

<p>my ec's aren't fabulous. i know. but do you guys think i still have a chance when it comes to getting into uni. of southern california? what other schools could you guys suggest that i should try applying to?</p>

<p>Your SAT score is low, so if you're entering your Junior year you might get away with not reporting it. USC doesn't require SAT scores for Junior Transfers.</p>

<p>Over all, I think you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Thanks.
Anyway, I just took the sat yesterday just in case they'd only accept <30 of all the credits that I earned.</p>
