Transfer Questions!

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>I'm considering transferring to USC because I feel like college is the time to experience something new (which I'm not, I'm going to a state school >.>). So, right now I'm a freshman and have a 3.8 GPA at UT Austin. I went to the USC site and I'm extremely confused about the prereqs! First off, the English Writing. I made 3's on both Language and Lit AP tests, but will those scores satisfy the writing requirements? For the diversity requirement - I took cultural anthropology, would that satisfy the diversity requirement? Lastly, I'm planning on applying to the business school, Marshall, and it says I need to take Macro, Micro, and Business Calculus. I made a 3 on my Macroeconomics AP test, and planning on taking Microeconomics and Regular Calculus next semester (spring 09). Will that work out? Haha, sorry guys, this is really a lot of questions...</p>

<p>One easier question, how is financial aid for transfer kids. Part of the reason I chose USC is because I heard the aid is extremely generous! But does that apply for transfer kids? I read on the transfer student board that transfer decisions are sent as early as May, and as late as July! Wouldn't the aid be gone by then?</p>

<p>Okay, that's enough questions. Thanks guys for your time!</p>

<p>For the APs, I'm not sure. 4 or 5 would've been a "Yeah, I think so" but 3 might be too low. Cultural Anthropology doesn't fit diversity, but the global cultural/traditions one (Cat II). </p>

<p>Again with the 3, I'm not sure. Micro and Regular Calc should work.</p>

<p>And I'm wondering about aid, too.</p>

<p>ahh transferring is such a hassle! I read on the website that my ap test scores don't satisfy the general education requirement. Since I won't be able to take a college writing class until next year, does this mean I won't be able to apply transfer this year? =/</p>

<p>I agree kevin, it's been such a pain finding what courses will transfer (coming from oos 4yr), how my AP's will transfer and whatnot...</p>

<p>Taking the other econ course will work, so will calc. I'm taking a calc now and macro and micro. The english requirement is the worst. I called and asked if my 4's on both english AP exams will work and the counselor said I still had to take it in college. The best thing to do is call them, they are really helpful.</p>
