USC 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>Hey, I have read many USC applicants’ essays and they all seem to start like a story. They seem to be in first POV and it is like the author is telling a story. Is that what USC is looking for?</p>

<p>All three of the essay question prompts this year ask you to essentially tell a story which is why most people will have written out an essay in that format. Notice each question contains “you” or “your” which means they want you to talk about yourself in relation to your experience/event, creative project, or challenge and how they helped form who you are today as a person.</p>

<p>Haha speaking about essays. I just let my english professor read my paper and boy do I have a lot of work ahead of me.</p>

<p>When sending out transcripts, are they mailed to: </p>

<p>USC Office of Admission
Undergraduate
University Park Campus
Los Angeles, CA 90089–0911 </p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>USC Office of Admission
700 Childs Way
University Park Campus
Los Angeles, California 90089-0911</p>

<p>@zach504 - mail stuff to the below address:</p>

<p>USC Office of Admission
700 Childs Way
University Park Campus
Los Angeles, California 90089-0911</p>

<p>^Its the same address. Form 7 had the first address on it, everyone here says second address.
On the bottom of Form 6 is:
University of Southern California
Office of Admission
University Park Campus
Los Angeles, CA 90089-0911</p>

<p>The 4 digits after the zip code show its the same address.</p>

<p>so we can send it to any of the two addresses, it doesn’t matter?</p>

<p>trust me, it’s 700 child’s way, there are two admissions buildings, I was looking on the USC map and my friend who goes to USC told me its the one on child’s way, they are very close to each other but it is the one on 700’s child’s way, if you really don’t trust me, just call the USC admissions office.</p>

<p>Alright that’s good to know cause I just sent them out an hour ago to the childs way address</p>

<p>EDIT:
btw, just called in because I had some questions and double checked that the address one sends their transcripts to is indeed:</p>

<p>USC Office of Admission
700 Childs Way
University Park Campus
Los Angeles, California 90089-0911</p>

<p>Ha, just called too. They said either address is fine.</p>

<p>striker15–Haha. Me too. Except I just started my essay. lolz</p>

<p>I think I’m totally done now. All transcripts ordered, application submitted - whew! Hopefully the wait won’t be as long as it was last year.</p>

<p>just submitted everything and dropped of all my documents at the admissions office today. HOORAH! gl everyone :D</p>

<p>Nice job guys now I just have to submit my app.</p>

<p>there is no palce to put courses and grades down on the online application. So They will see the grades and courses taken only from the college transcript right? Also what about financial aids or scholarship, are they due by feb 1 too? Thank you</p>

<p>I’m applying to the Marshall School of Business and was completing Form 6. On the bottem where is asks for Major-related course work, can I put down courses that I am currently taking ? It says to “list prerequisite, lower-division or elective courses related to your intended major” I’m taking Managerial Accounting this semester, can I list that under Major-related course work and put the Grade as TBD? </p>

<p>Also, the Marshall transfer website isn’t loading up for me. Can someone confirm that the following are the only prerequisites in order to transfer into Marshall:
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Managerial Accounting
Financial Accounting
Business Calculus</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>@zack yea if you have those courses on the sheet that you’ve ALREADY taken the you’re almost finished, you also need to include WRITING 140 which is the English requirement needed to transfer to Marshall. The other main prereqs are macro,micro, and business calc. Managerial accounting/financial accounting are required for a business degree at Marshall but does NOT need to be completed before transferring [but I believe you may include those on the Form 6 sheet if you’ve completed them], whereas Writing 140, micro,macro, and business calc need to be completed by the end of this year to be considered for transferring.</p>

<p>Here is the excerpt from the Marshall site:
Transfer candidates complete the following courses for Marshall School of Business admission consideration:</p>

<pre><code>* WRIT 130/140 (English Composition 2, also a University requirement)

  • ECON 203 (Microeconomics)
  • ECON 205 (Macroeconomics)
  • MATH 118 or MATH 125 (Business Calculus)
    </code></pre>

<p>Students who successfully complete these courses with ‘B’s’ or better will be competitive for admission.</p>

<p>Can the WRIT 130/140 requirement be fulfilled with English Composition 1 & English Composition 2? I already wrote both of the English courses under the English header on Form 6, should I write it again under Major-related course work? </p>

<p>Thanks for all your help!</p>

<p>Yes english 101/102 usually satisfies that requirement.</p>

<p>LagunaSC-wait…so my AP credits won’t fulfill the writing requirement?? I haven’t taken writing in college b/c my university accepts AP credits. If USC doesn’t accept AP credits in place of the initial writing requirement, than am I not eligible to apply? Uh oh…I’m a little freaking out if that is the case.</p>
