Transferring for BS/MS OT program

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>I searched the boards first, and didn't find any specific information in regards to transferring into USC for their BS/MS OT program.</p>

<p>I've requested information for their MS program for those who have completed their undergrad degrees. I honestly, really enjoyed all the literature they sent and found myself preferring their program to the other universities I've looked at.</p>

<p>Specifically, I am wondering what the GPA is like for those admitted, and how many students are admitted each year. From the website I can tell that a minimum of a 3.0 is required. In the packet I received I saw USC does look take into account an upward trend in grades. How much of an influence is that in admissions? I've been starting out this semester strong, after a bad semester. It took me down in terms of my current univ gpa, but when combined with the previous univ's gpa I'm still above a 3.0. Although, my uni which, in the world of rankings is below USC, right now is accepting students with a 3.5 or above because they have about 90 students applying for 30 seats.</p>

<p>I'm in the process of meeting with my current adviser to see what our courses are that reflect what USC is requiring, and I will need to retake one course (stats) because I didn't get the grade required, and honestly, I think I need to take a different stats then what I took. </p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Also if you don’t know the specific answer for the BS/MS OT program, could you at least help me with chancing? Just wondering if I should even bother applying. I know that no one can predict what will happen, but I’m curious. </p>

<p>Not including High School in here
Gpa cum 3.1 with an upward trend (last semester was a bad for me)</p>

<p>No leadership positions, but my job allows me to work unsupervised. I work at a senior center as an attendant for the fitness room. I’m in charge of the fitness room, health assessments, and get the seniors set up with the machines. Previous job had me training new workers even though I wasn’t trained for that position. They relied on me a lot since I was calm in most situations, and took charge when needed.</p>

<p>I guess some uniqueness about myself is I had 3 concussions, possibly four, and have dealt with them over 7 years. I didn’t play the two biggest sports that have athletes who end up concussions.</p>
