Transfer to USC from the East

Transfer Students

<p>Help me you guys.</p>

<p>I posted this in the USC thread but got no response.</p>

<p>I want to transfer from Carnegie Mellon to USC.
My compelling reason is the emergence of my love for journalism.
I originally came to Mellon for their creative writing program, but I am
not thrilled with that anymore and they don't have journalism here.</p>

<p>I will have around a 3.85 gpa from here and have actively been involved in the
university newspaper. I want to apply to Annenberg.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot?
Does coming from the east help me?</p>

<p>Additionally, my girlfriend wants to transfer. She would go undecided or arts and sciences but has a compelling reason for transfer. She is actively involved in greek life and multiple charity fundraisers.</p>

<p>She goes to University of Pittsburgh and will have around a 3.5 gpa.</p>

<p>Does she have a chance?</p>

<p>We both have less than 30 units (we will be applying as sophmores)</p>

<p>We both had decent gpas in high school (around 4.0 weighted).
My SAT score was a 1320 and hers was a 1200.</p>

<p>Do we have any chance of making it together??
Thanks for all of your help.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance</p>

<p>im not sure what are you chances.. it seems that most likely you would get in..
one of my friend who transferred from a community college in California has a GPA of 3.58 no EC, with around 45 units and got accepted to marshall for accounting...
that is around 2 semesters ago..</p>

<p>You definitely have the will and good, legitimate reasons for wanting to transfer. Follow through with it and express that effectively in your essays.</p>

<p>good chance for you, idont knwo about your girl. dont worry about SATs, they dont really matter for transfer students. nore does where you come from, i think.</p>

<p>annenberg likes its transfer students to have some kind of meaningfull experience in communications, make sure you mention all and any ec's.</p>
