USC 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>Is anyone else’s USC rep not responding to emails?</p>

<p>I emailed mine a few days ago and I still haven’t heard anything.</p>

<p>Can someone answer this for me? I asked this and no one answered:</p>

<p>If I’ve already taken Bio in high school, will the credits I take for college Bio lab transfer to USC? Or will they consider it as me retaking a class?</p>

<p>likeme: did you take the class at a college through a running start or head start type program which gave you college <em>and</em> high school credit?</p>

<p>likeme - same as what Kulakai said in regards to where you have taken it. Also depends on the level of the Bio course too.</p>

<p>i m applying for 2010 fall too with major sociology…
i kinda messed up my college transcript because i was too dumb in high school and got 2Cs while i taking CC courses…hopefully it success with a 3.4 GPA</p>

<p>Does anyone know if USC takes mortgage into account when calculating estimated contribution for financial aid?</p>

<p>likeme, </p>

<p>My admissions counselor is Ross Mankuta and he emailed me back right away. That’s weird that your rep hasn’t emailed you. Maybe just give it a few more days? I emailed USC Annenberg about a week ago and I didn’t get a response until a couple days later.</p>

<p>Kulakai, MakeBank24-</p>

<p>No, it was just a regular high school intro bio course. And the class I want to take next semester is a college intro bio lab.</p>

<p>If you took it in high school then it was not a college course where you would have received college credit. If you are taking a bio 101 & lab at a college, say a CC nearby then it will most likely transfer to usc and satisfy the GE requirement.</p>

<p>USC requires both the science class & lab to be taken to satisfy that requirement. I’m not sure about AP credit for science courses with USC though.</p>

<p>likeme - if it’s just a regular intro to bio course taken in high school, of course it won’t matriculate. Unless you have taken the AP exam for Bio.</p>

<p>@skyline - It is my understanding that they do (based on last year’s thread) and they also take into account the equity in your home.</p>

<p>for rec letter, will high school teacher works or its better to get a college professor? because my most respected and keep deep relationship teacher is my high school teacher</p>

<p>kielyy - college professor. It is because your college professor is more recent in your education rather than your high school. Having a college professor will help the admissions show how you have progressed and your capability of handling college coursework. Also the letter of recommendation is not required for admissions, it is optional.</p>

<p>Part I is due when exactly? is there a specific time tomorrow?</p>

<p>Who else is going to the transfer day on Friday?</p>

<p>hey guys, so i transferred to usc this year (i’m a sophomore) and i discovered this forum like…in march of last year. and i thought the people here were all really nice and they helped me get through this process. so i thought i’d come back this year, and help anyone out with their questions. if you want to know my stats, here they are–</p>

<p>transferred from a CCC, 4.0 GPA with 34 untis completed. didn’t do any extra curriculars in college, but had a lot of ECs in high shcool. entered in CLAS as a pscyh major. i completed all the GEs i could take at my cc, as well as the enlgih course (equivalent to writing 130 at USC). btw, my high shool stats weren’t that bad either. i had a 3.8, 2010 on SATs, and had really good ECs.</p>

<p>Hi all,
If you guys are local I would definately recommend Transfer Day just as an intro into the requirements for getting into USC CLAS (if that’s what you’re interested in). The representative will likely just repeat information you already know and give you the articulation agreement. You can also easily access this document at usc.edu/articulation. For some of us, it’s better to hear application process information directly from an official representative (as was my case). :slight_smile: Have fun & explore the campus!</p>

<p>@Woman.Of.Troy: So really, the transfer day is meant for those people who don’t obsessively read every inch of the USC website and ask questions here like most of us CC folk do?:)</p>

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I am currently living on campus on the USC campus. I will not be living in my apartment in the spring 2010 semester as i am senior and am looking for incoming freshman, sophomores, juniors or seniors to take my spot in housing who are going to attend USC in the spring 2010 semester and do not currently have a contract with USC housing (or are continuing USC students who do not have a USC housing contract). It is a great place to live and a great way to become involved in the vital community that is this campus! You will love it. All incoming and continuing students are welcome to inquire as I need to be released from my contract at the end of December. Your contact, should you choose to take up the offer will go for the spring 2010 semester (January-May) and then you will be free to choose where you want to live next. PLEASE, FEMALES ONLY INQUIRE as only females only can live in this apartment: GRAD students welcome to inquire, but UNDERGRAD students are given preference.</p>

<p>Details: Fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment (kitchen, living room, bathroom), parkside apartments. Washing machine located on same floor, Meal plan included with dining cash. Apartment on 2nd floor, easily accessible and very very sweet and curteous roommate.
You will be living with one other female occupant (she is very helpful, kind,smart, etc)
Happy hunting everyone!</p>

<p>When transferring to USC as a sophomore or with less than 30 units, what is a good SAT score to have?</p>
