<p>would it be for me to transfer into USC from out of state. I'm still a HS senior and next year I'll probably go to Syracuse or Albany because my parents want me to stay closer to home for a year. What grade would I need to pull to transfer to USC after one year or is it pretty much impossible? Thanks.</p>
<p>Lots of people transfer in after one year. The biggest thing they look at with transfers is cumulative college GPA - your HS grades and SAT scores will not really factor in. It's hard to say what kind of GPA will guarantee you in, though if you have A-(about 3.7 of 4.0) average or above that will be a big bonus in your favor.</p>
<p>Also they like it when you've taken lots of courses that satisfy the general education requirements for USC.</p>
<p>USC is a private school and so it doesn't matter at all where you're applying from - in state, out of state, international, they're all considered the same.</p>
