<p>I will have the 30 minimum units for USC to look at only my Community College grades. This fall of 2006 is my first semester in college as i just graduated from high school earlier in June. I'm a male, 18 years old in southern cali about 20 miles away from USC.</p>

<p>My current gpa which is not set in stone since it is my first semester is perhaps either a 4.0 or 3.8 .. .. . . . it could possibly grop down to as low as a 3.6 cause of a stickler teacher but i hope that is not the case. My first intended major is Political Science, 2nd choice Creative writing...</p>

<p>In high school I was in the philosophy club, acting club, choir club, skating club, performed the lead in all the schools drama productions, part of the EOPS Older Brother Foundation where I helped middle school kids attain confidence...and also tutored elementary kids every day for half a year.</p>

<p>Now here in my first semester in college I'm part of the Model UN Club, Film and Tv club, Philosophy Club and Photography club. Also, plan to do community service with Habitat for Humanity.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in USC for the Fall 2007?</p>

<p>I would obviously be entering as a college sophmore which I hear from my friend that goes to USC that they prefer students transferring their into USC their sophmore year.</p>

<p>You will notice that my majors are both in the letters of arts and sciences. Does it matter what major i jot down? Do the gpa's go higher or lower based on the major?</p>

<p>What should i do to maximize my chances of being accepted?</p>

<p>Also to note, i met with a conselour from usc and told me they look at my gpa from after te spring semester...so that 3.8 will obviously go higher in the spring semester.</p>

<p>What was your high school GPA and SAT score? Those count a lot if you are applying in as a sophmore. Your college GPA is awesome though so that shouldnt be a problem. I transferred with a 3.66 GPA after first semester (it went up to a 3.8 second semester but at the time of the application it was only 3.66). You're in for a LONG wait... all sophomores have to submit spring grades before they are admitted so even if you havent received a request for them yet at the end of the year, be sure to send them right away (it takes 2 weeks after receiving spring grades to get a decision so be sure to send them ASAP when they become available.) You wont find out until part way through summer break if you get in so 'm just telling u now so you're prepared. I had no idea it took them so long but if you look at last years threads you'll see some people didnt find out until july... ugh... it was lame... well, good luck!!!! Oh, it doenst matter what your major is if they are both in Letters, Arts, and Sciences. :-)</p>
