<li>I’m applying online, do I need to send a transcript with that “transcript request form”? </li>
<li>If I’m set to have my scores sent to them after the December SAT, is that fine?</li>
<li>When should I send AP scores? Do I need to rush them? </li>
Thanks!
<p>i'm applying to USC, but i am very dissapointed with their application. It's very confusing and there are typo's on the section where you report your grades and classes. What i did is gave the transcript request form to the registrar of my school and she sent it for me, sealed and everything. I didnt send my AP scores, and i dont think it would help you unless you are borderline.</p>
<p>I agree andrew-the USC app. is terrible. I was wondering the same thing about the transcript. I think I wiill also have my GC send it in with request form.</p>
<p>I e-mailed them about a UCLA sumemr course I did for credit-it was for acting. I got 8 units and was graded in 3 classes. I asked if I should include it in college level courses-but they e-mailed back and said just to include it under summer experiences in my EC info.</p>
<p>What should I do. If I got in and they thought I was withholding info. it could be a problem...</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks. and Good Luck......</p>
<p>the USC application is the worst ever lol</p>
<p>Primab, if that's what they told you to do, then there shouldn't be a problem.</p>
<p>Also, this is probably a really dumb question, but for the Activity Summary do I need to write an essay, or can I list things, even in bullet form? It's very vague...</p>
<p>do you send the transcript now or at the end of the semester?</p>
<p>The transcript is part of your app, so you hand that in with your app whenever you wish to apply. Is it just me, or does the online application lag?</p>
<p>yeah the online app does
hey if I sent my SAT scores today, do you think they will make it before december 10?</p>
<p>GLM-I think you should just list the EC's-I don't think they would want an essay. Maybe I am wrong-but I am going to list with a brief explanation.</p>
<p>This whole thing is the biggest pain in........</p>
<p>oh-and again, good luck all...</p>
<p>andrew1218 or anyone who can answer this: for the transcript request form, what exactly do you put after "Major?" I don't think it is for intended major so do I leave it blank? </p>
<p>Also, is anyone have a lot of problems filling out the course section of the online part?</p>
<p>Or if you are doing the paper app, how exactly do we fill out our Academic History when the 2nd semester column has a huge typo (where the grade column is full of the grade #s for 3rd semester / summer classes) ? Are we supposed to get a new/revised app?</p>
<p>my advice to all: download the paper app and mail it. i gave up on the online version today, and the downloadable app doesn't have drop down menus.</p>
<p>My D spoke with admissions about the academic history "typo". They said just to squeeze in 2nd semester grades after the course name. I can't believe that a school wouldn't catch something like that before having a million copies made. I'll bet someone got yelled at...!</p>

<p>Can anyone answer this?</p>
<p>Is it too late to get started on my USC application this week? I didn't think test scores were due until Jan. 10. (Of course, I didn't even know the scholarship-consideration application was due Dec. 10 until a couple days ago.)</p>
<p>Of the five colleges I applied to, my experience with USC's process has been the worst. I emailed four of the five schools (including USC) early in September asking them what to do if I was planning on enrolling in a language program during my gap year which :might: issue credits. UNC-CH, NU and UWM gave me clear, prompt answers. USC's email was short, bordering on rude, and didn't answer my question at all. </p>
<p>I know this has nothing to do with your post but I really needed to say that. Whew. :D</p>
<p>I've decided that USC has such a difficult application because it is a test. If you do not follow the many instructions perfectly you are eliminated right away and it saves them the trouble of reading your essay--which is one page but double spaced, yet up to 700 words????</p>
<p>I haven't had that many problems with the online application yet. The only thing that I can't solve is that I accidently wanted to type in SAT II scores but found out that USC doesn't want them from me now. Now I can't cancel them on the online application. Anyone have the same problem? And I don't understand why the essay has to be double spaced?!</p>
<p>Yeah, how can we possibly double-space an essay and have it be 500-700 words on one page at a reasonable font-size? I called USC and asked, and the guy who answered said "yeah, it's okay if it goes a little over a page" but all of his answers to my questions were vague like that, and in the FAQ, it stresses that being one page is important.</p>
<p>wait a second...a 500-700 word essay could be one page in length singe spaced not double spaced!! This is soo messed up!</p>
<p>500-700 very short words will fit on one page double-spaced. They want us to be concise in our word choice? I know less is more... but I think that's going too far.</p>
