<p>i dont get it. im a non resident transfer student, i got in usc but rejected by uc irvine. how does this work? me not getting in uci makes me wonder if my acceptance to usc was a fluke.</p>
<p>You asked a question but revealed the answer in your post. </p>
<p>"im a non resident"</p>
<p>The UCs in general are difficult to gain acceptance to for IN-state residents. It is extremely difficult for non-residents to get acceptances to UCs (this is the same at all highly ranked public universities, like UNC-Chapel Hill). </p>
<p>USC is not public, but a private school not connected to the Cali government. It's not easy to get into USC, so congrats. If you got into USC, you were probably qualified for entrance into UC-I and acceptance might have been fairly easy-- IF you had been instate, and also perhaps IF you had been a regular admittant and not a transfer.</p>
<p>USC is higher ranked than UC-Irvine (though Irvine is very good and many people I know go there), anyway.</p>
<p>Just be happy! Many kids who go to UCI could never get into USC, and the tuition is about the same since your oos. UCs are very easy for in state CC transfers to transfer to, but quite hard oos. You're getting the bette deal.</p>
<p>elisamariah answered that beautifully. I concur. You should be a counselor elisa</p>
<p>AmyYa03, Congrats on USC. I just recently began looking into it and now I kind of have sick obsession with it. I am currently carrying a 3.87 cummulative GPA after 1 year at Hofstra University in NY, and I am involved in a ton of ECs. I am going to transfer to USC in Fall 2006. Just so I can get an idea of what they are looking for, what were ur stats? Thanks.</p>
<p>hey
im transferring as a entering junior, major soc, my gpa was 3.55 (not that great), decent essay, okay ec...but my main reason moving to cali was due to family responsibilities and i think they admission took that into account.
btw, im from u of washington, seattle.</p>
<p>good luck! seems like u have a good chance! :)</p>
