<p>My father has been a part time professor at USC for nearly 17 years now. And now after my first year of college I have decided that I would try to transfer into USC. I was just wondering if the kids of professors given a good leg up on everyone else because of this or if they are treated like any other application and not given a better chance at acceptance. I am not counting GPA or extra curricular's or anything just the son of a professor factor. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help guys!</p>
<p>Depends on how valuable the prof is o the shool, star prof’s kids are treated like legacies.</p>
<p>I would bet that it would boost your chances of admission greatly. As long as you are of average stats, transfer wise, you should be golden.</p>
<p>You will never be able to take a class with your father though, for reasons I don’t think I need to elaborate on :)</p>
<p>I think that would give you a VERY good chance of getting in! You just need to have decent stats and reasons for transferring. The most important component, though, is the essay. You should try to explain why you have a compelling need to attend and somehow integrate that with your father’s work, etc. Why don’t you have him help you? I’m sure he knows very well what the schools looks for in a student. Also, he can talk to admissions for you ;)</p>
