too low for usc?

[sclove09]

<p>I'm applying as a sophomore transfer. I know that many other things are taken into consideration when making admit decisions, but I'm not gunna lie..I don't have any "wow" factors in my app. lots of community service and ecs, but no prestigious awards or anything.</p>

<p>i will have completed 30 units by the end of the year, so they're only looking at college stats.</p>

<p>THAT being said....do you think a 3.594 gpa is ridiculously low? i just got my grades and I'm super nervous because I was projecting a 3.8 atleast!</p>

<p>sorry so long lol but thanks :D</p>

<p>A 3.594 is fine. However, it definitely would be good to have some type of “wow” factor in your application, whether someone has a 4.0 or a 3.5, since it could be hard to distinguish amongst many transfer applicants that have good GPA’s, decent community service and EC’s, but nothing spectacular.</p>

<p>u could take another year to get gpa up then xfer</p>

<p>USC’s going to want a hook, especially if your GPA isn’t spectacular. I think it’s fine if you’ve got something going for you on your resume.</p>
