HELP! UCSB/SBCC to USC

<p>Hi. I've been a lurker on this board for forever and I finally decided to register because I have what I think is a huge problem. :-/ </p>

<p>I'm currently enrolled as a freshman for UCSB Fall 2007. However, I am planning to transfer to USC for next fall. My dad went to USC and I had a meeting with an academic advisor at SC in June to enroll in certain classes in order to help me transfer in a year. Well, I thought that everything would work out buuuut I couldn't get into a Writing class for fall quarter and I guess you HAVE to complete two semesters of an english/writing class in order to transfer? </p>

<p>Well, what I am asking is what should I do?? I'm trying to enroll in an english class at SBCC for fall semester so if I get into an evening class there and get into an English class for winter and spring quarter would that fulfill the english requirement? </p>

<p>All I am asking for is some experience with anyone that transferred from either UCSB or SBCC to USC in a year??? Please help? :-////</p>

<p>Yes, just take a writing class at your community college.</p>

<p>It depends on your major, but its relitively easy to tranfer from a Cali Comm College to USC. </p>

<p>There was a guy on this board notwithstanding had a 2. something in high school, did 1 year at a CC and got in to USC.</p>

<p>Since you got into a UC directly out of high school, why dont you go to comm college for 2 years and try to transfer into a better uc like UCSD and UCLA. You obviously have proved you can get good grades, why not capitalize on that.</p>

<p>The only relitively hard majors to get into at USC, as far as I knonw, are film,and the Marshall business school.</p>

<p>Yea, the two people I know of who go into USC with 2.XX gpa is me and SCorBust. I had a 2.67 unweighted HS GPA. Did a year of OCC (38 units) and got a 3.76 GPA. I'm a Bio major too and have NON of my prereqs done.</p>

<p>well my dad went to USC and he has offered to pay for my full tuition if i go there anyway. and i originally planned on transferring to annenberg as a communication major but now im thinking of maybe an art history major in the general school to better my chances? </p>

<p>and i know this might sound stupid but i really wanted the whole "college" dorm experience i guess haha so i just decided to go to ucsb for a year. and i did get into ucsd i just chose not to go there, i really am drawn to the whole LA area anyway since i am interested in public relations/marketing/advertising buisness. </p>

<p>wow, doryx..please tell me your secret? lol what classes DID you take then?</p>
