USC 2009 transfer thread

<p>omg i love usc soo much, its ridiculuous... aaahh!!</p>

<p>ps.. lolroflcopter @ moss ;D hahaha well said man, well said</p>

<p>knucleball9 - what is your major, what were your stats for high school (possible option of transferring after 1 year) and ec's?</p>

<p>Then I can be able tell you how difficult it is going to be to transfer.</p>

<p>i dont know who is saying that they expect 3.8 from both CC and 4yr universities. The brochure says that they look at course work and grades & then place that in context of the university ur attending... and most ppl would think that getting a 4.0 at a CC is a lot easier than getting a 4.0 from a school like Duke or Georgetown or something</p>

<p>so yeah just wanted to put that out there</p>

<p>dont F up my hope people!!</p>

<p>shooshu,
do you go to a cc or a 4 year university?</p>

<p>ShooShuShoeShou - they don't expect everyone to fall right on the average to be admitted (it's an average!). I don't necessarily know what the average is for the other schools but the 3.8 GPA is the average accepted transfer applicant for Marshall School of Business (I'm a Business Admin major). As for differences between CC and 4-year universities to transferring, USC counselors have said that they do not discriminate which college you have attended in their decision making process for admission.</p>

<p>ShooShuShoeShou,</p>

<p>A bit of subjectivity can make its way into a 'holistic' review of any application, but don't bank on that saving anyone from an 'objective' (at least on paper) assessment.</p>

<p>I just got my grades for the winter quarter...and I got a 3.3 in Calc II this quarter. I'm pretty disappointed in the grade, but realistically is it really going to hurt my chances to transfer? </p>

<p>I got a 3.9 in Calc I last quarter and my lowest grade other than the 3.3 is a 3.8. (the class I got a 3.8 in doesn't transfer so I guess my lowest grade other than the 3.3 in transferable courses is a 3.9) My overall GPA is just over a 3.8. I was also taking more than a full course load and working the winter quarter, so hopefully they take that into consideration. I'm just SO nervous about everything.</p>

<p>Um...did anyone else get the 'being reviewed by committee' update? I'm a transfer btw.</p>

<p>Whoa, whoa, whoa. </p>

<p>KataraTrojan, can you please copy and paste your status here? </p>

<p>Typically the status "your application is being reviewed by the admissions committee" is only seen a few days before the actual decision is made and released. What major are you applying for?</p>

<p>I just checked again and it changed back to:</p>

<p>"We are reviewing your application. Sometimes we require additional information, so be sure to respond to any requests promptly. Transfer applicants are notified of their admission, or of a request for more information by June 1."</p>

<p>20 mins ago it said they'll let me know of my admissions decision by April 1st. I even called and the guy said it wasn't a mistake...I'm going to have a heart attack now!</p>

<p>AHH WTH! KATARATROJAN. can you please be more specific?! what ttheee heck i'm freaking outt!!</p>

<p>Whaat major are you!!!</p>

<p>I don't know but my status changed then switched back. Are they reviewing transfers now? I need to call them again tomorrow.</p>

<p>Anthropology</p>

<p>what the heckk. are you a sophomore transfer or junior?? and also...i talked to a lady like on friday..and she said they were going to START reviewing transfers in the end of march..how could they possibly make a decision for you already. this is madness. i hope you get in!</p>

<p>Ok. I think there is a glitch in the system. It now says:</p>

<p>We received the fall grades we requested, and require no additional information at this time. We will mail decisions to freshman applicants by April 1st.</p>

<p>I am not a freshman and I didn't send them anything. I am a junior transfer. I also almost died right now :(</p>

<p>that's weird..did you apply out of high school as well??</p>

<p>because if you did..and you are using the same application username maybe things are just getting messed up..but if you told the guy you were a transfer and he said it still wasn't a mistake..that's trippyy.</p>

<p>No but I did an application update because I withdrew my app last year. I thought that had something to do with it since they have already reviewed it before.</p>

<p>hmm that is weird KataraTrojan. So it changed twice in one day??</p>
