<p>I’m definitely saving alamemom’s response a few pages back. Good summary of the whole situation.
For HS you should put diploma demonstrating you graduated with a diploma. Under College they might not allow you to leave it blank so I would just write none, unless you’re receiving an Associates.</p>
<p>@Budlightyear:</p>
<p>Thank You! I didn’t know it was that important. I’ll try to find it asap.</p>
<p>@RamboRambo</p>
<p>If you couldn’t find it under the “Documents” tab you can also call. That is what I did last year. I just called and gave them my name, and they supplied me with my ID number. I needed it because I had to fax my transcripts/LORs. You should use the number on anything you send to USC. It’ll expedite the process and give you more assurance that nothing gets lost.</p>
<p>Sydneyral- so uci ends in june, should I put 6/2011? Also if I switched high schools I do need to provide an explanation on why I left my first high school?</p>
<p>@CallofDuty84: Yeah. That’s what I did for my community college. </p>
<p>And I would explain why you switched, even if it’s just a generic thing like “family moved” or “looking for a more challenging education” or something.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have suspensions/expulsions on their record too?</p>
<p>Alright well I will do that then Sydneyral.</p>
<p>What’s everyones topic for their essay? Also, for the undergraduate GPA part… its on a 4.0 scale… meaning 3.3 B+ 3.0 B 3.7 a-, correct? so if a sophomore transfer got all B’s he or she would put 3.0 for that part?</p>
<p>Haha no sydneyral I don’t, do you?</p>
<p>I did the “challenge overcome” prompt. </p>
<p>That grading scale looks right to me.</p>
<p>…and yes I do. P:</p>
<p>@MitchAPalooza:</p>
<p>Thanks! Yeah I’ll call them on Monday to find out. I’m just worried about my essay at this point. I’m having major writers block :/</p>
<p>QUESTION:</p>
<p>you know how they ask for your high school courses/grades? do we fill that portion in if we’re transferring?</p>
<p>and why doesn’t it ask for college courses instead?</p>
<p>@belief</p>
<p>They don’t. The course and grades section is not accessible. Your transcripts will cover both the courses and the grades for HS & College courses. There is a section where you list your current college courses that you are taking in the Winter/Spring.</p>
<p>@ MitchAPalooza </p>
<p>it does. i am filling out the application and it asks for my academic history for 9th-12th grade. </p>
<p>transfers fill out the same application as the entering freshman, right?</p>
<p>and second question:</p>
<p>does anyone know if the USC Global Scholars program will be cut soon? it says only students graduating in 2010 and up to august 2011 are eligible.</p>
<p>and transfers are allowed to apply to the discovery scholars program, right? (just making sure)</p>
<p>@belief</p>
<p>Are you sure you inputted the correct information when you started the application? I attached a link demonstrating you cannot access the “Course and Grades” section. </p>
<p><a href=“ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs”>ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs;
<p>Also RamboRambo checked and confirmed,
Your transcripts for both HS and College will cover that section.</p>
<p>As for scholarships, I am not familiar with that one. You can view the various scholarships USC offers through the link below.</p>

<p>@belief…</p>
<p>Transfers do not have to fill out the Courses section, you probably registered yourself as a freshman.</p>
<p>ahaaaaaaaaaa oh wow, glad had the chance to change that now. thank you mitch + COD</p>
<p>new/old question:
are EC’s considered for transfers?
or just college EC’s?</p>
<p>No they do not. To an extent maybe, but no one knows how much.
This was also verified by another member who attended the same meeting.</p>
<p>Hey guys. A friendly word of advise, and of course, just my opinion; You may choose to agree or disagree. But. Do not leave any fields blank, or any questions unanswered, unless there is absolutely no answer -which is pretty rare. We hear different things from different counselors/administrators; bottom line is, they are not the ones who are going to be reading these applications or granting you offers/rejections. Take the safe route and fill-out as much as you can. After all, less we forget, this is THE University of Southern California that you’re applying to. I like being confident in our abilities, but lets not be too confident and skip steps; it looks lazy.</p>
<p>With respect to the EC’s - it doesn’t even have to be anything related to school or work. All I see in a question like that is “how is this applicant going to contribute to the university and where does he/she fit in” They know what USC can do for you; the question is, what can you do for USC? That’s what I think is behind asking for EC’s, experience, etc… You’ve noticed that some of these questions get pretty personal.</p>
<p>The offer to become a Trojan is there, how much do you want it?</p>
<p>Make yourself stand out!!! =)</p>
<p>Im applying to USC for fall 2011 as a transfer student. By the end of the spring 2011 semester i should have 45 hours completed and a 3.6 gpa. I am applying as a Open (Still Deciding). What are my chances of getting in.</p>
<p>I filled out every single thing I could fill out except the “anything else?” space.</p>
<p>@sydneyral-</p>
<p>So I put 6/2011, for the “Attended to” and it says “you must provide a reason why you left your institution.”</p>
<p>So I don’t know what to do…</p>
