<p>My top 2 choices were UMiami and USC. I got into UMiami today and was so excited. However, Miami transfer aren't guaranteed on campus housing, and since I'm coming from IL, I'd really like to live in a dorm so I can meet people. I'm thinking of just putting my enrollment payment and housing application in (totaling about $500) in order to reserve my housing. </p>
<p>I'm still waiting on USC-Marshall though. It's my reach school, and I'm worried I didn't get in but tell me what you think</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8
Credits earned: 30 (44 by the end of this semester)
Essay: was excellent, it was the thomas edison one.<br>
Extra cirrucluars in college etc: Student government rep for the business department, model UN, Phi theta kappa.
ECs in HS: Latin Club, School student ambassadors, Student news paper, church volunteer, Member of a honors society for young journalists, Member of the national society of high school scholars.<br>
Extras: I traveled to 3 different continents with people to people student ambassadors, one summer as a jr. Leader (I'm applying as an international business major)
Pre Reqs: I think I covered all of them, except maybe the foreign language requirement? </p>
<p>Also note: I started taking college classes prior to graduating high school & graduated early. </p>
<p>Also note, I graduated HS with a 2.7 because of having to go on medical leaves. All of this is throughly explained though and is the main focus of my essay. </p>
<p>Do you think I should just put down the enrollment for Miami? or should I wait for USC??? When do USC decisions typically come in?????</p>
<p>It depends if you’re a freshman/sophomore. are you finishing up your freshman year?
If thats the case you might not hear back until late may/June and probably expect a spring grade request. your’re looking at around june/july if you’re accepted. can’t tell ya which one to pick, but i’m in a similar situation and the only reason i’m waiting is because a) that reach school is the one i’ve been working so hard to get into and b) i dont have to wait till june/july like you hopefully.</p>
<p>well, I graduated early and did summer school, so I guess I’m a freshman by year but a sophomore by credit. I applied as a sophmore transfer, so I guess I have a long time to wait. I paid the enrollment fee and applied for housing at Miami, which I guess I could withdraw if I got into USC…?</p>
<p>yeah, I got accepted to Rutgers already, so i might pay my enrollment fee and housing fee and whatnot, and if it goes well and get into USC, i’ll just go there. case settled. only thing we lose is like 300 dollars. :(</p>
<p>yea i would do that too, if usc is what your hopes are, then you should go for it, secure a spot at miami, but wait for usc cant lose more than a few hundred dollars and thats worth it def :D</p>
<p>rollz4 I’d be too scared to do that too! applying for housing/putting down the enrollment fee at miami cost me $500…but I guess it will be worth it in the long run.</p>
<p>Actually, my mom called and asked. she told me the admissions guy said, “oh no! I don’t want her to lose her place!” then he reminded my mom that USC is very selective and has a 25% acceptance rate. So that confirmed I should put money down on another school. I just put a deposit down for University of Hawaii.</p>
<p>Your Ecsn look similar to mine. I was a people to people student ambassador(Australia) and I am a phi theta kappa. I just thought that was cool.</p>
<p>I’m not going to lie, transferring into UMiami is not the most difficult. Only reason I am telling you this is because getting into USC-Marshall is very, very, very HARD. However, you have a chance. Best of luck.</p>
case settled. only thing we lose is like 300 dollars. :(</p>
