Applying to College

<p>i have 4 uncles and aunts that graduated from USC. 1 CPA 1 MBA
well i heard alot of things about how relatives being alumni can help...
i was wondering... how much can it help?</p>

<p>my college took me to a USC tour... the admission personel that took us around explained the requirements... and... yea she said the average acceptence GPA from community colleges is about 3.8 - 3.9</p>

<p>i barely have a 3.8 now... hoping probably family ties could help </p>

<p>hope to get opinions and advices from u guys</p>

<p>you are a freshman or a transfer student? With a 3.8gpa as a transfer student you are looking good. Average gpa is more around a 3.5 if you want to be a competetive transfer.. you really arent going to have to worry too much lol just keep up the hard work</p>
