<p>Hi - With regard to completing the Academic History section of the USC Supplement, the example given in the supplement instructions shows letter grades with no "+" or "-" next to them. Are we to report our grades that way or are we to include plusses and minuses? Thanks.</p>

<p>In past years, applicants who called admissions to ask this question were told that it was not necessary to include pluses and minuses. Applicants who commented on the threads said that some did include pluses and minuses, and some did not. You will not be penalized either way - if you include them and USC doesn’t need/want them, they can simply ignore them.</p>

<p>The supplement instructions say,

<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1112/CommonApplication_SupplementalInstructionsV2.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1112/CommonApplication_SupplementalInstructionsV2.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So if the pluses and minuses are on your transcript, include them.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
