USC Fall 08 transfers

<p>ya know what..</p>

<p>i checked again and the tax forms i sent USC are in both the REQUIRED (not received) AND the PENDING (received, but not reviewed) lists. yep, i'm pretty positive that i'm not the dumb one, now.</p>

<p>so excuse me while i go make another trip to the fax machine.....</p>

<p>It's weird because every year this kind of "losing" transcripts and documents happens and it causes decisions to come out later for some students. Sucks.</p>

<p>we're just talking finaid, right? not main admissions? because i had to send a new transcript because i won a grade appeal and it brought my GPA up .24 (3.21 to 3.45) and now i'm worried they never got it. i sent them an email when it could've been in processing and now i'm going to have to email them again to make sure!</p>

<p>Last time I faxed stuff in, it took several weeks for it to move from "Pending" to "Received". I'm faxing in my last (thank goodness) financial aid form tomorrow, I hope nothing gets messed up. I'm glad my BF has a fax machine. :)</p>

<p>@ksbr27 yeah i'm talking about fin. aid, but don't be surprized if they screw up (and/or take forever to update) your transcripts. gL though!</p>

<p>I wonder how long it'll take for them to review the faxed taxes. It's the last thing I needed to turn in so I can kind of breathe easy after its processed, I guess.</p>

<p>can I mail my tax forms instead of faxing em? I don't have a machine, and I don't really feel like paying $10-15 just to fax some papers.</p>

<p>I've got a question. First semester, I had a 3.8 GPA. But this semester, it look like I'm gonna be pulling around a 3.0(at worst)-3.5(at best). How bad will this drop hurt my chances? What about considering I'm at a Top 20 school right now? BTW, I would be transferring as a sophomore, and I applied to college of letters and arts.</p>

<p>Things are getting a little tense in here. Spring break anybody? :D</p>

<p>Halfbreed, I think for CLAS you're in pretty good shape anywhere from a 3.3-3.5 this semester. You obviously have pretty good highschool stats if you're going to a top 20 school right now anyway. But I'm not sure how important your current school ranking is to USC. I think they have 3 catagories, and that is CC/ 4-year universities/ and then really prestegious ivy-type schools. Maybe you are in that top tier. This is just what I've come to after the transfer days program at SC in November so actually I don't really know much</p>

<p>took them about 2 weeks before they said it was done reviewing my fin aid stuff i faxed</p>

<p>haha, redtape!</p>

<p>thanks Laguna.</p>

<p>actually I have negative spring break. The next day off for me is cesar chavez (?) and then memorial day. =( the things I do to transfer, lol.</p>

<p>Same here, no spring break</p>

<p>I just got the email saying they received the forms I faxed. After OASIS says that they have them, I'll stop worrying about USC until May. </p>

<p>I'm also applying to UNC and NYU, and their notification dates are mid April and mid May, but their application deadlines were a month and two months after USC. I don't know why USC wanted us to get those applications in so early. Well I still have to work on my NYU app. Can't wait to get that over with.</p>

<p>Lol, TJmoss, I hope you're right about the 3.3-3.5 thing about CLAS. haha</p>

<p>Well, keep in mind I'm saying that a 3.3-3.5 this semester would be pretty good because it would make your cumulative somewhere in the 3.5-3.6 range. but that's nitpicky anyway, I think you're in.</p>

<p>I just received an email from USC Fin. Aid office and they now need my parents' and mom's W2 forms. I faxed my mom's W2 forms with her tax returns already, but I used the the tax return cover sheet and it's still pending. Should i fax the W2 forms separately with the correct cover sheet?</p>

<p>man, everyone has such competitive GPAs, i hope my 3.45 (which should go up to a 3.51-3.6 after this semester) will get me in! ahhhhh
(school of theatre, if you're reading this...wanna override my first choice major that's in CLAS?)</p>

<p>so... when i applied to marshall, i just listed business administration as my first choice of major and left my second choice blank. I really dont want to do anything other than business.. but now im starting to get worried.. will this have a negative impact on my admission??</p>

<p>Also, once the admission decision is made, does it tell you on oasis if you have been admitted or not before the letter is mailed out??</p>
