<p>If it does, i would totally go to community for 2 semesters and transfer. the problem is that i think it'll end up costing me a year of college cause the local college here is now not offering summer courses! it's a bummer..i know : l</p>
<p>No. Each applicant is considered individually.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking about applying as a transfer, you may wish to confer with USC about which of the classes you’re considering taking will transfer. My D did after her 1st semester of CC so that most of the classes she took thereafter did transfer (if she had asked them before the 1st semester, she could have had even more that transferred).</p>
<p>She saved a considerable sum by transferring from CC to USC. A friend said that when her S visited USC, they told one of his friends that they preferred a transfer from CC over from a UC. The friend took their advice & attended CC, hoping to transfer to USC. I’d strongly suggest you check with the USC admissions counselor assigned to your region to see what current policy is, particularly as it applies to your case.</p>
<p>I do know that USC DOES accept a significant number of transfer students, both from CC & many 4-year universities.</p>
<p>i’m applying as a junior transfer, and yes, they do give priority to CA community college students as long as ur school has an articulation agreement with USC. basically all the courses that transfer into UCs also transfers to USC with only a few exceptions.</p>
<p>omg ahh…for a while, i convinced myself that going to community college wud be fine for 2 semesters because one would be over the summer and thaat wouldnt really count (since i do that anyways). the only part of the “freshman experience” that i would miss out on is the first semester. now there are some things:</p>
<ol>
<li>u cant apply to usc, till a full year later</li>
<li>my community college doesn’t offer summer courses anymore, and i recently read that it may lose its accreditation meaning usc probably wont accept me from there anyways. so i’d probably have to move somewhere to go to COMMUNITY. which seems kind of wierd.</li>
</ol>
<p>now, i am thinking of just going to a private school and i know i’ve been accepted to two. and one with a scholarship to pay a majority of my tuition. i know that shouldn’t decide for me to go there but it kind of sounds good lol. (btw, my parents dont care if i go there or not. they really would not want me to go there me because its not “popular” or a brand name school) yeah i know it sounds dumb. but that wont influence my decision. : ] </p>
<p>how do u find out what schools usc accepts from…or what are they? man…any more advice would help! thanx guys!!</p>
<p>Actually, there are no hard & fast rules. My D applied as a transfer to USC after her 1st semester of CC & was accepted as a spring admit, entering in the middle of her sophomore year. It worked great for her. She was the FIRST person from her CC ever accepted & transferring to USC.</p>
<p>You can ask USC if they can provide you with info about which schools they accept transfers from, but I’m not sure there’s any hard & fast rules, other than you have do do well wherever you start attending if you want to be able to transfer.</p>
<p>I know this is old but if you come from a California community college they give priority</p>
<p>The poster above is incorrect. USC considers each applicant individually and does not offer a preference to community college applicants from any state. Applicants rejected as freshmen and offered the Trojan Transfer Plan enjoy a preference if they meet all requirements of the TTP, but they may attend a community college (any state) or another 4-year college while completing the TTP.</p>
<p>Note: This is a three year old thread.</p>
<p>No I am not incorrect. Stop telling me that I am.</p>
<p>All ccs are notoriously bad… so it really gets down to your high school’s reputation, how well you did in high school and your SATs. Money helps immensely. If you have a pulse you should get a 3.5 at any cc.</p>
<p>Jazzelle, are you an admissions officer at USC specializing in Transfers? If not, you can hardly be an authority. USC has articulation agreements with various universities and colleges, as well as the CCCs. Where did you get the idea that a private university like USC prefers public community college transferees?</p>
<p>SeattleTW, your remarks are inflamatory and extremely insulting to the many people who work hard for their grades at CCs! It also paints ALL CCs with the same poor brush and is grossly unfair to the many who teach and learn there.</p>
<p>We know instructors who teach at BOTH the CC and flagship U – SAME courses & material but much smaller number of students in the CC. This allows them to get to know each student much better and provide individualized attention. I know many students who CHOOSE to take courses at CC and a few at flagship U. When they graduate, all that shows is that they graduated at flagship U.</p>
<p>Another bonus is that there tend to be a lot more CCs, which are conveniently located and allow students to commute easily, some of whom are working part or full time as well. The various ages of students add breath and depth to the classes. Another added bonus is that CCs often offer courses leading to specific certifications and programs, including the culinary arts (at the nearby CC, it leads to FABULOUS food).</p>
<p>I do know kids who transferred into USC. I do not have personal knowledge of whom gets preference into their transfer list but am sure you could call and ask them if you’re curious.</p>
<p>From their website. I posted the link on the other thread. Just because you didn’t know that doesn’t mean it is not true. I was sharing what I knew about transfering to USC because what I want to to do. I researched it well.</p>
<p>
You are incorrect.
You are incorrect.
Your very useful link is to the articulation page, which shows how credits may transfer. It says nothing whatsoever about admissions.
Thank you for sharing what you know and it does appear that you have done some good research - few transfers at your stage of the process have yet discovered the articulation agreements and histories. Unfortunately you assumed that those agreements and histories suggest an admissions advantage - they do not. I hope you continue to share your discoveries as the admissions season progresses, but try to avoid dredging up threads more than a few months old (the two you have dredged up are three years old and NINE years old).</p>
<p>Closing old thread.</p>
