<p>i emailed my local USC counselor and she said that the foregin language requirement can be finished at USC.</p>

<p>bumbumbum- you are all good!
question: what was your friend GPA who got in as soc major?</p>

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

<p>I was under the impression that prereq were more important than GE. However, when I applied as a Bio Major, I had all but one of my GEs finished and NONE of my prereqs completed. My second choice was Poli Sci and I did have all those PreReqs completed. I applied as a sophomore and I got in as a Spring Admit as bio.</p>

<p>I honestly dont know what is more important, but you should try your best to finish as many as you can imo. It's only 15 units or so.</p>

<p>The only thing that worrys me is 7'Ws that I have.</p>

<p>CCC: Pasadena City COllege
GPA: 4.0
Pre-reqs: all done/in progress except Acctg2
GEs: Will be done by spring
Major: Accounting (Leventhal)
EC: nothing...
Work Experience: English tutor, Statistics tutor, and more tutoring</p>

<p>torrance: there was a guy i knew in one of my classes last spring who said he got in w/ a 3.5. my cousin said she got in w/ a 3.0, but that was like 4 or 5 years ago lol.</p>

<p>adamantine: hahaha sweet u go to pcc too. you've got a great shot at leventhal. the only drawback might be the lack of ecs. u should join this club called SIFE, its a business-related club called students in free enterprise, u can get application forms in the T building. it'll be something that u can include on ur ec resume.</p>

<p>Is there a foreign language requirement for an economics major? Because I know there isn't one for business administration, which is my first choice. I'm negating what to put for my second major because the only foreign language I took was Spanish for 2 1/2 years in high school.</p>

<p>Torrance- 7 W's?!? god damn thats alot! Do you have a good excuse as to why you have so many because 7 doesn't look good at all unless you've completed a few full semesters without one.</p>

<p>USC24- everyone in CLAS has the 3 semester language requirement.</p>

<p>Hey all. Sophomore transfer here (hopefully) for film studies. </p>

<p>My local counselor has not answered any of my emails or phone calls. Why does USC hate me? :( Thank god for CC...</p>

<p>goldenjet- I mean i dont have W's every semester and I work full time so.... that's a big reason!
bumbum- okay! USC in in! lol!</p>

<p>How do you get the Transferable GPA?
Also, I want to apply to transfer too, but I will be a freshman THIS year, and will transfer and begin there as a sophomore Fall 2008. So...am I supposed to have all the GE and Pre-reqs finished too, even after just 2 semesters?</p>

<p>^ Don't quote me on this, but I don't think you need to have ALL GE done. I think it would be wise to finish your pre-reqs though.</p>

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

<p>I don't know. I have most of my GE completed except one. NONE/zero of my pre-req for my Bio Major done. I still gone in.</p>

<p>doryx- you applied as bio major and no pre-req done?</p>

</p>

<p>Yes. My second major was poli sci and my prereqs for that major was finished. I was unexpectedly accepted as bio. Sophomore app too.</p>

<p>Thats why I don't know how much more important pre-reqs are. Just to be safe, you guys should have both fully completed. But I really don't think one is more important than the other.... unless you are applying to marshall school of business.</p>

<p>My stats: 3.78 GPA at OCC, 38 units completed, 2.57 HS GPA, 1710 SAT, and I applied as a sophomore since I've only been at OCC for a year.... I got in as a spring admit because I submitted my application past the deadline.</p>

<p>^ That's encouraging.</p>

<p>I have...3.5 HS GPA, 1850 SAT, and 29 ACT. I am hoping to get a 4.0 at a community college, out of state. And...I'm also applying as a biology major.</p>

<p>And tresfleur, I'll be taking 17 credits this semester (not sure what units mean?). Is 17 this semester and 17 next semester enough? Or should I go up to 20 for next semester?</p>

<p>Also..at my community college, they canceled the Statistics class for this semester. Would it be ok just to have one math class second semester when trying to transfer?</p>

<p>Do USC accept people as second major?</p>

<p>Transferable GPA: 3.95
Non-Transferable GPA: Same, I think.
Units: 42 transferable
GE: Most of them. Will be finished by Spring
Pre-Req: Will be finished by this semester
EC: Volunteering (in another country and here), work, travelling
Work: At a movie theatre. (Previous jobs: receptionist, food service, and retail. All part-time)
Applying to: Annenberg for communications
2nd major: Sociology (Ideally I'd like to double major in comm and sociology. Or maybe major in one and minor in the other)
Current school: A CSU in Northern California</p>

<p>i just noticed some of the extracurriculars you all posted and all i have really is a job. i work 40 hours a week, and i was wondering if that will hurt me because i'm not out volunteering etc. how do i tell them i work 40 hrs a week too? i will be joining alpha gamma sigma, the honor society, at my school. i do have high school extracurriculars, but i'm not sure if i even bother to put that on my application. does anyone have any insight?</p>

<p>fight_on1: u should definitely include ur high school extracurriculars on the application.</p>

<p>btw, does anyone know how heavily USC weighs a transfer applicants high school transcript? i have over 30 transferable city college units w/ a 3.65 college gpa, but my high school gpa was 1.44 and i never took the ACT or SAT</p>
