<p>I currently go to University of Houston and thinking about transfering. At the end of my first year I will have around 32-35 hours and am predicting I should have a 4.0-3.9 GPA for sure. Plenty, plenty of extra-curricualars such as manager of a store, head counselor for a camp for 2 years, etc. Only problem is high school record. Rank is top 34% (213/623) 3.2/4.0 GPA, and 1020/1600 SAT scores (1560/2400) Have not taken any SAT 2's or AP classes. Although high school record is bad, college record is excellent. </p>

<p>The classes I took/will take for my first year are art history, history 2, history 1, political science 1, introduction to ethics, english 1, english 2, microeconomics, philosophy: introduction to the mind, introduction to sociology, and physical geology. I have not taken any math classes, but I plan to take them in the summer of '07, but those won't transfer before the deadline. Are those decent classes to take to guarantee admission?</p>

<p>However, will I have any chance at transfering? If so, how much of a chance? Long shot, likely, most likely or guaranteed? Thanks yall, I NEEEED to know soon so I can start to apply.</p>

<p>Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but I'd say it's nowhere near a long shot. With a 3.9 or 4.0, and if those courses transfer to USC's writing and GE requirements, I'd say it's well worth applying.</p>

<p>I would contact an admissions counselor at USC and ask for help trying to make sure that the courses you're taking transfer and fulfill the requirements they expect, though.</p>

<p>Yes, my cousin goes to USC and I am pretty sure that these courses will transfer. However, do you need to take atleast 6 hours of math and science before applying as a transfer student? And as for an admissions counselor, the best bet to reach them is by email which they take ages to respond to. (No blame to them as im sure they get 1000's a day)</p>

<p>In the transfer application when it says to choose a major, is it better to choose undeclared rather than select a major? Also, if I do get accepted, will I be able to change my major once I get into the school?</p>
