<p>^I haven’t received an email…</p>
<p>It’s pretty self-explanatory, you need to upload a copy of your federal income tax returns (and/or your parents). You can do that via Internet upload or fax. If you haven’t filed yet, I don’t think they’ll hold it against you (I’d hope not).</p>
<p>The fact that the mass e-mail went out asking other folks for the same material makes me feel better, though. Instead of worrying about what it means, we can focus on the real task at hand: nervously refreshing the admissions status update.</p>
<p>I haven’t received one, either…yet.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>What would you all say my chances of getting into Dornsife (Philosophy, politics, & Law) would be?</p>
<p>I’m transferring from a community college:</p>
<p>Units: 25 (41 after spring)
College GPA: 3.88
High school GPA: 3.1-3.2
ACT: I’m taking it this saturday and expect to get around a 30.</p>
<pre><code> Thanks!
P.S: I’m super nervous to see what happens.

<p>I know this is probably a weird/late question but I am currently at a quarter school and need to sign up for next quarter classes pretty soon. I applied to Marshall and am a freshman right now so I would be entering as a sophomore, what exactly is this whole GE requirement? Am I required to fulfill any particular GEs to be admitted or since I would be entering as a sophomore it doesn’t matter?</p>
<p>also my school is not on the list for the USC transfer planning guide thing (even though it is a California school oddly enough…)</p>
<p>@Randomnewguy</p>
<p>I’m a non-trad also(25)…did you provide all your parents stuff? Seemed pretty weird to me doing the CSS profile that they wanted all of my parents tax details (CSS that is) and that some schools want both mine & my parents tax info even though I’ve been independent for 6 years now.</p>
<p>@Toofast If you are applying to marshall, you should have calculus taken by by spring. Also 2 semester of english (if your school does not offer two semester like mine you will be exempt from it when applying). Link to Marshall requirements below:

Go here to find out about the GE requirements: <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1213/TransferPlanning_worksheet2012.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1213/TransferPlanning_worksheet2012.pdf</a>
You don’t have do all of them, but the more you do will make you look better. Some GEs must be taken at USC, so make sure you read carefully. Hope this helps. Good luck! Oh, and if you don’t mind me asking, which CA school are you transferring from?</p>
<p>I did not provide my parents’ stuff. I don’t even know how I’d be able to do that (like I ask my parents about their tax returns at this age?). I can’t recall if the CSS actually asked it or not. I don’t think it did and I definitely did not supply it. Went through without a hitch.</p>
<p>On the Common App, I only gave my father’s information. I really don’t feel my family is all that relevant to the decision-making process.</p>
<p>I’m going to guess that it might be different for you because you can still be somewhat dependent - for instance, the Affordable Healthcare Act allows parents to insure their children until they are 26-years-old.</p>

<p>I don’t think you are exempt from the WRIT requirement. My 4 yr doesn’t offer an english 101 sequence, but I am taking courses like Analytical Writing and a Writing intensive/critical thinking course instead.</p>
<p>Also, is there any way to get around a SGR? Send a midterm report or have professors mail letters saying you are most likely receiving an A? Or right at the end of the semester before grades are released?</p>
<p>@ ronaldot: I had answered the same question for you on page 46 of this thread:</p>
<p>"I don’t know how frequently junior transfers receive SGRs. To my knowledge, sending in a midterm report doesn’t speed up the process.</p>
<p>As for having to wait, you don’t need to worry; you can always accept admission for one of the colleges you are accepted to before you hear back from USC. I was in the same situation with Cal State Long Beach; I accepted their admission offer because the deadline to respond fell before June 1st. You can always revoke it; accepting admission isn’t necessarily accepting financial aid, signing up for classes, etc.</p>
<p>However, once you DO revoke your admission after hearing from USC, call their office to make sure that you are completely disconnected from that school. I did a couple safety checks with CSULB to let them know I got accepted and decided to attend USC instead."</p>
<p>I was wondering about that. I already got my acceptance letter from CSU Fullerton. I also imagine that I will hear from University of La Verne and Chapman University before USC.</p>
<p>Can someone reply to my post on the last page lol…</p>
<p>Odd question! Has anyone heard about anyone transferring to USC as a senior? Or do they only accept junior transfer students?</p>
<p>I’m trying to upload my parents’ tax returns on USCConnect, but I see that on the instruction form it says “please include your USC ID and name on all documents”. Do you think this applies to the tax returns as well? I have a pdf file of them so I’m not quite sure how I’d add that information!</p>

<p>@ronaldot My admissions counselor said that if I at least take one semester of English (ENG 114), I should be fine in terms of qualification for admission. My school doesn’t offer a second semester of English for freshmen. I did take a critical thinking course and a communications course, not sure if one of those will qualify as my second semester.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I was just curious about my chances again… So I’m hoping on being admitted for spring, cause I feel like I should stay at my CC for one more semester to get some courses out of the way (I’m applying as a sophomore). I won’t be done with calculus until summer and I won’t have my WRIT requirement done. By the end of spring, I’ll probably have a 3.87 and I feel like my essays for my app were pretty bomb. I have 3 GEs done too, if that helps. </p>
<p>I’ve heard of and know people who got in without any requirements for Marshall, so is it likely that I will have a shot for spring?</p>
<p><em>deep breath</em></p>
<p>@basketballer123: I think your chances are at the very least decent (can’t tell much more about you without your EC’s). As for the Marshall guys, it seems equally, if not slightly more likely for you as it was for them.</p>
<p>@sierrag95: I work in Admissions Processing, and although we can look at the tax returns and deduce whose application it belongs to, it REALLY speeds up the process when your USC I.D. is on the top of every page. To add it on your tax return, print out the PDF, write your USC I.D. on the top of every page, then re-scan and send those files.</p>
<p>@Ricky21: I have heard of junior transfers, but I’ve personally never encountered someone who transferred in as a senior. You could try calling admissions and asking them.</p>
<p>@RandomNewGuy: I got my acceptance packet from Chapman about a week and a half before USC got back to me.</p>
<p>@sam1994: Your GPA from high school to college demonstrates an upward trend, so that is a very good sign. Your ACT may or may not matter as much since you have below 30 units, and once you pass that threshold, USC doesn’t care about your high school grades and test scores (good for me, since I had a 3.33 in high school and a 1710 on the SAT). I don’t know what your EC’s are, so as far as I know, your grades are right where they should be.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind me asking, did you receive you acceptance from USC after June 1st?</p>
