USC 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>@LagunaSC - My application says the same thing, even though I applied last year and I used the same application ID - very strange!</p>

<p>Quick question, once we submit the app and we send in hs transcript and college transcript and assuming we have over 30 units and won’t need to submit test scores, are we done? no recs or anything?</p>

<p>@rcwhite - Yeah you’ve got that right (at least to my knowledge), though they do read Recs if you send them in, they are not required for the CLAS.</p>

<p>Okay great! Thanks ashton0417.</p>

<p>just a question:
I took ENG101 1st semester freshman year and this 2nd semester am taking ENG102. Does the ENG102 satisfy my WRI130 requirement or should I take another class???</p>

<p>@xptboy check your school’s articulation agreement with USC, just google USC Articulation Agreement/the name of your school and find your school, if you are in a public school/ community college school in California then you will most likely find it and then check under the English requirement in the GE section.</p>

<p>OK, I did that but I think it only works for california schools, I’m actually currently attending the University of Tampa if that information helps at all… ENG101 is the general entry level ENG course and ENG102 is the follow up course that everybody takes. (there’s also an easier English course called ENG100, but that is more of a remedial course)</p>

<p>That unofficial articulation history database you used to be able to access outside of the USC network appears to have been pushed to the intranet only so I can’t be sure but I checked the google cache of it and there was no transfer credit history for University of Tampa. Generally speaking, having taken eng101/102 at any accredited university/college, you should be good as far as having the lower level writing requirement covered at USC.</p>

<p>@amorrison Thanks for the reply about this. In my particular case, the last time I applied was a couple years ago and it was in a different college. Are you applying for the same college or a different college within USC?</p>

<p>@xptboy The USC 2010-2011 transfer brochure says, “Successful candidates generally complete a course equivalent to USC’s WRIT-130, which is usually the second course in an English-language college composition sequence.” So its most likely that your second course meets this requirement, and the adcom will think it does.</p>

<p>Did you guys paste your essay any certain way? And is it supposed to me single spaced?</p>

<p>@LagunaSC -The same college. I’ll probably e-mail them today.</p>

<p>@Xptboy, yea I would go with Kulakai on this one, if you have a total of 3 English levels and you were placed into the second one first semester and taking the third one second semester and if that is all your university has to offer as far as lower division English GE goes, then you should be more than likely good to go. For my school it’s different since we have 4 different English courses, English 4, English 1A, 1B, and 1C, USC needs only the 1B and 1C to fulfill the requirement, but in order to do that I had to take 4, and 1A to get to 1B and 1C, so to sum it up, yea if you’re done with the undergrad GE for English I am 99.99% sure you’re fine.</p>

<p>Note: If you are taking your last English course 2nd semester, and it is a PREREQUISITE that must be completed in order to apply, you MUST send in the grade as soon as you’re done, because the admissions will NOT review your application until you have completed and sent in and they received your grades for ALL prerequisite courses, this means if you’re done in May and you get your grades in mid or late May, and you send it in to USC, they will receive it/review your app around June and you will know your admittance standing either in June or Mid July.</p>

<p>How many units are you guys currently taking?</p>

<p>Question about form 6 which is college academic summary. If I completed the online application, do I still need to download form 6 and fill it out, since I didn’t see this form on online application? Thank you</p>

<p>Right now I am praying I get in. USC has been my dream school since I was about 4 or 5 years old. Could someone possibly weigh in on my chances??</p>

<p>Oh and my father went to USC and another family member taught there.</p>

<p>@rhandler33: Do you want us to chance you, or what…? Sorry, just wondering.</p>

<p>that would be great Skyline; sorry I am very new to this website.</p>

<p>@rhandler33 - You sound well rounded although your GPA might be on the slightly low end for transfers to Marshall. I’ve read the average tends to be in the 3.7-3.8 range.</p>

<p>@Kulakai - I kind of figured I would be at the low end for Marshalls, so I put down as a secondary program CLAS-Economics.</p>
