Junior Transfer - Chance me for University of Southern California and UCLA?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I am currently a sophomore, and my dream is to transfer to University of Sothern California for my junior and senior year of college. Since my sophomore year isnt over yet, I cant give any hard numbers on what my GPA will be, but I am going to just give you a GPA that I would ideally get.

Major: Computer Science

Freshman year:

1st Semester GPA - 1.89

2nd Semester GPA - 3.7

Sophomore year (again, ideally):

1st Semester - 3.7

2nd Semester - 3.7

Extracirriculars: The only club that I am apart of is Ski & Snowboard Club. There aren’t many clubs at my school that I am interested, and not many clubs in general. It’s a very small state school, and I haven’t been very interested in them. I do, however, play on a few intramural teams, and am the captain of one of them.
I completely tanked my first semester of college. I slacked off a lot, and thought I could scrape by easily like High School. Plus I was trying to balance working 30+ hours a week and school. Once I saw my horrendous GPA, I quickly changed my attitude and did quite well, and plan on continuing that trend.
How are my chances looking for USC? Anything you could recommend that would make me a stronger candidate for admission?

With that first semester gpa dragging your gpa down, id say your chances are pretty low. If you’re trying to transfer for next year, there’s really not too much you can do at this point.
