<p>At the stage of transferring I'm at, I need to direct my courses towards either UC's or USC/Cal states.
Basically, if I don't get accepted to USC, I would be screwed because of the UC's not accepting Math 11 (Bus Calc). Therefore leaving me to Cal-states where I don't necessarily want to attend.</p>
<p>In my opinion, my GPA is qualified for USC.</p>
<p>Please, give me your opinion on my chances on getting accepted into USC's Marshall School of Business. </p>
<p>you'll be admitted as undeclared until you finish business calculus at which point you can declare yourself a business administration major and join marshall</p>
<p>I transferred over and that's what happened to me</p>
<p>But with your stats, especially considering you're all done with GE's I would say you have a pretty decent shot. If you need any help on the application feel free to PM me. I love helping out people who are going through exactly what I went through.</p>
<p>I suggest also applying to UCs if the tuition makes a difference. Don't let taking another math class stand in your way from choosing a college. You might want to emphasize your growth in business (or whatever the essay question is) from your business internship. i.e. express your interest in business in the essay.</p>
<p>I don't understand your post. What difference does an extra math class mean to the UCs? There is a huge difference in tuition cost for in-state students between the UCs and USC.</p>
<p>Why don't you take the math class you need to transfer to the UCs next semester or next summer? You need to compare the cost of USC vs. UCs.
I don't know if the tuition price makes a difference to you. If you are accepted to USC and can pay the tuition, by all means go to USC. USC has a wonderful undergraduate business school. Also, I have no experience with transferring to USC. Why don't you call up USC admissions and inquire about your GPA so that you don't have to worry about it?</p>
<p>The math classes for UC's require 3 more semesters... I need to take Math 2 (pre-calc) and Math3A and Math 3B (both calculus courses). That's why I cannot apply there because right now, I only have one more semester which is spring term before my transfer. USC only wants Math 11 - business calculus, which I can fit into my spring term.</p>
<p>I understand the UC's are much less expensive, but I cannot apply to my business econ / econ major without those math courses completed, and the amount of time I have is not enough to complete all three of those courses.</p>
<p>As a fall back possibility, you might want to look into taking one math class in the spring, and the two other math classes in summer school at UCLA if they are offered.
USC is a great school but there is a huge difference in tuition. Of course, maybe the tuition difference doesn't matter to you as every family has a different financial situation.</p>
