<p>Hey, I just had a couple questions about admission into USC.</p>

<p>I am currently attending a California Community College and I was wondering how much my high school grades affected my chances with getting into USC. I did poorly within high school and never took the SAT's, but am currently getting a 4.0 in college. Will it work to my advantage that I improved from a C average to an A average, or will it hurt my chances that I did poorly in high school?</p>

<p>As a business major what GPA do you think would be necessary to gain admission?</p>

<p>Lastly, does USC factor +/- into GPAs?</p>

<p>Here's some technical info for you-</p>

<p>Page 7 talks about GPA- USC DOES take plus and minus grades into account.</p>

<p>Page 16 talks about high school/college records- If you have completed 30 transferable college semester units in a strong academic program, decisions focuses primarily on that work.</p>

<p>Look on the Marshall page about transferring to get more info about that.</p>
