<p>need help please... I want to transfer to USC for Fall 08 (I will hopefully be entering USC as a Junior). I Just need some help with the process. How do you know what is transferable and not? </p>

<p>I am from NY and I have no legacy. My gpa was a 3.68 freshman year, and hopefully that will go up. What are my chances? And when do I have to start applying? Also, if accepted what type of financial aid package do you think I can expect as a transfer student with an EFC around 13,000?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>And this is my third time applying. I guess im a glutton for punishment lol</p>

<p>You all have good chances. Just do as much GE as possible.</p>

<p>do GEs really matter that much? from what i hear, USC is pretty lenient on applicants finishing up the reqs.</p>

<p>as far as applying for college of letters & arts goes, do you guys think its a good idea to include econ as my 2nd choice if i havent taken a semester of foreign language yet? (im planning on taking the 3rd semester of foreign lang during the summer)</p>
