Transfer Students

<p>Hello everyone! I'm currently about to start my 2nd year at CSULB as a pre-Biology major (about to switch to Mechanical Engineering) and GPA is at 3.72 with a couple of EC's (probably going to join a few more as soon as the semester starts in about a week and not sure if being a member of one of the university's music ensembles would count). From those who have transferred in the past, any insights as to what we can do to better my chances of getting into a school such as USC? Feel as though being at USC would provide plenty more opportunities into research, and the fact that it is closer to home is definitely a plus.</p>
