Letter Received: Spring Grades Needed to Make Decision

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>I applied as a transfer student from Santa Monica College. I received a letter from the admissions department yesterday. I thought it was a rejection letter because it was in a thin envelope. Much to my surprise, it was not a rejection letter and it wasn't an acceptance letter either. Rather, it was letter stating that the admissions committee needed additional information (spring grades) in order to make a decision on my application. </p>

<p>The question is do you think that carrying only 9 units currently (due to military obligation) will affect my admission decision. Does anybody know anybody else that has gotten this letter in a previous year? If so, did they get in?</p>

<p>BTW my stats include:</p>

<p>HS: Nothing to brag about
4 years active duty Air Force
Santa Monica College: 3.76 GPA
Roughly 45 units completed<br>
Dean's List 3 Semesters
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society
College Republicans</p>

<p>Completed USC writing, language, math, and each general education category that does not have to be taken at USC.</p>

<p>*applying as a history major</p>

<p>I think if you head over to the "USC transfers" thread (here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=177285%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=177285&lt;/a&gt;) you might find some info on who's received these letters (apparently, a lot of people get spring grade requests). It's a really, really, long thread, so you might want to search for "grade request"</p>
