USC 2009 transfer thread

<p>oh yes, phs right down the wonderful street of Sierra Madre....and by the way it's go LANCERS!!
Grey-It's kinda like going from one ghetto, to another..i love usc and all, but you hit some spots,ya'know</p>

<p>does anyone know if other transfers (besides viterbi transfers) have heard in april???</p>

<p>I dont think anyone else hears in April</p>

<p>grr..the only thing that gave me hope was that last year someone posted that people applying for CLAS with near 4.0's heard in mid-april...</p>

<p>my stats were 36 units taken after this spring..(4.0 fall semester) and i think i'll be able to get a 4.0 again or if not FOR SURE 3.94 since A- are taken into account. 24 units of AP classes in high school. Working part-time while in school and also during summer..tutoring kids at a nearby elementary school 6 hours a week..(i think great letters of rec)..went to the philippines and worked with schools in underdeveloped areas and made a website for them..plus more volunteer work..</p>

<p>what do you guys think my chances are..</p>

<p>pretty good aaam, i'm sort of in the same boat. pulled a 3.94 last semester because of an A-, i work 2 part time jobs, go to the hospital to volunteer as well as some tutoring for kids in the neighborhood and have two internships. traveled to Turkey to help build hospitals in the remote regions where such an necessity is hard to come by. </p>

<p>i'm sure everybody here will get in. we all gotta be optimistic! :)</p>

<p>Wait, Viterbi begins notifying transfer applicants of their decision starting April? ;o</p>

<p>Typically, yes.</p>

<p>wow zircushio- you have a really busy schedule and a great GPA. and yeah i hope we all do get in. </p>

<p>and ^^ yeah viterbi does start notifying in april raawrr i wish CLAS did too.</p>

<p>Makebank - Is there a general GPA standard for students from 4 yr uni's? From what I've read, it seems like 3.7-3.8 is the general standard for CC's.
Also what do you mean by the recommended accounting 1 and 2 other course b/c I'm applying as junior standing?</p>

<p>I don't want to major in Economics at USC. I want to major in Business Administration - East Asian Studies since I eventually want to do something entrepreneurial in Asia. Marshall seems like a better choice for its networking and connections in the Pacific Rim and for the fact they have that program.
NYU Stern students have an unhealthy obsession with banking, and I'm not sure if that's something I want to get into.
Plus, the reason why I want to transfer to USC is because I want to leave NYC, going to Stern would just make it worse, lol.</p>

<p>zircushio and aaam are machines. I'm totally gonna get rejected. haha.</p>

<p>Don't worry about it grey. Rejection is not that bad, trust me, I've had practice. :D</p>

<p>Heck, I even came back for more...</p>

<p>^lol me too!!! gimme five yay hahaha</p>

<p>hippo, what was your status back then? i thought you had a good shot</p>

<p>hey arch...out of curiosity, what exactly is it that you want to do in Hollywood/Law?</p>

<p>Taiwaneseterror - Well the average transfer admission regardless of CC was a 3.8 GPA for Marshall. USC in the past years accept a large portion of California Community College transfers ranging 55-68% of their transfer admissions. So the GPA maybe a little skewed at cc's... As for the recommended two Accounting courses, that was just my opinion of finishing them up (it lets you have completion of their accounting portion).</p>

<p>NYU Stern and obsession with banking... that's why I want to do my emphasis in Finance.</p>

<p>Hey, my status updates have been RAPID. Like daily...</p>

<p>Anybody else experience that?</p>
