<p>i want to transfer to USC, i currently attend community college and my GPA is 3.3 i messed up my first year, but i am willing to do anything to get in. i am an architect major. i got a AIA award and i swim for my college, what are my chances....? PLEASE HELP, I'LL TAKE ANY ADVICE? THANKS.</p>
<p>Have really solid recommendations and demonstrate why you want to go to USC above anything else. Your GPA is low, but I know someone who transferred with a 3.3 successfully, so it can be done.</p>
<p>thanks you so much, i do have solid recommendations, a couple of harvard grads, yale, and some architects with their own practice that went to USC.</p>
<p>by demonstrating why i want to go to USC, do you mean on paper or interview?</p>
<p>Both. They're really into school spirit and silly sports stuff, so play it up and you're golden. </p>
<p>How many recommendations do you have? I would caution having more than three, and that's assuming the extra one is very different.</p>
