Transfer Students

<p>well, all DECISIONS will be mailed, but they don't mention that a decision option is the request for spring grades. THEN you won't hear until july.</p>

<p>i think i am going to wait to try the orientation commitment site method sometime next month. it's still march, so i'm not expecting anything now...but i want to know!</p>

1202

<p>sunshadow and ksbr- when i applied to usc i had about 35 units completed with 16 in progress. my gpa was around a 3.8.</p>

<p>j3nnyyx- acceptances, rejections (for a lack of better words), and requests for spring grades are sent out by June 1st. if you are given a request for spring grades, which anybody transferring in as a sophmore will get and many junior transfers as well, then you will get your decsion a couple of weeks (sometimes more) after you send in your spring transcripts. the good thing is that they don't have to be official until you actually enroll.</p>

1203

<p>SCorBust, I have around 70 units and around a 3.8. You think they'll ask for my spring grades?</p>

1204

<p>with my luck i'll be one of the lucky juniors who gets a spring grades request even with my 78 units.</p>

1205

<p>Yeah im def getting asked my spring grades</p>

1206

<p>j3nnyyx3 and ksbr27- it's really hard to say whether or not you are going to get a request for spring grades. a lot of depends on your major, the number people that applied, and other factors. </p>

<p>i just remember going through this whole ordeal last year and it seemed like the majority of transfers from the original usc transfer thread and the people i talked to at orientation received a request for spring grades. </p>

<p>here's the original thread. lots of good info on here</p>

<p>thanks SCorBust! i know of a CCer who is transferring from a CCC (honestly, all of these Cs are making my head hurt!) who is a fellow french major who has a either a 3.8 or a 4.0, and basing on that i'm sure i will get ye olde request for spring grades. although now i'm curious as to seeing if my professional school that i applied to for second-choice if they want me...hm. i guess i'll be emailing bruce grier this week!</p>

<p>I thought it was interesting that my D got a letter stating that the only thing outstanding in her transfer file was her high school transcript. They never asked for her SAT scores even though she is only a second semester freshman. (She wasn't thrilled with them, so decided to wait to see if they asked her for them...they did NOT). Perhaps it's because she had a 4.0 her first semester?
I also called her regional adcom to confirm her file was complete and he did not ask for them either. Hmm...</p>

1209

<p>SCorBust- Really juniors getting asked for spring grades? Is that for borderline people? Drat. I just want a straightforward answer...I think I'm a yes or no person. :P</p>

<p>Admissions are so weird & random. I don't even know what anybody wants anymore. Just doing things by the book and hoping they work out. =)
It'd be cool to know early before my backup came out.. but that's... unlikely... because they just started transfers.</p>

1210

<p>Anyone know what the acceptance rate is for each school for transfers?</p>

1211

<p>I wish! If so, Annenberg please.</p>

1212

<p>Woman of Troy- Private's dont have to do things by the book though. IF you want a university that ONLY does things according to the book, UC's are for you. </p>

<p>I have a story about the chancellor at UCLA.... They def do things only by the book</p>

1213

<p>That's what I was alluding to.
I meant more of in terms of what they "say" they want in a student.
All this criteria...

<p>Im in Biology right now on CC, I am crazy!!!!!!</p>

1215

<p>ehhh I know this is the USC thread. I wont shun UCLA if I get in. But if I get into both UCLA and USC, USC is getting my money.</p>

1216

<p>I like both. But I have a preference. :P Lucky... our school doesn't HAVE wireless. I just happen to have the day off.</p>

<p>P.s. Did you all hear that freshmen admissions offers were cut back to 21%?</p>

1217

<p>Yes I did. Pretty crazy. Good for USC, if we get in just boost up our reputation.</p>

1218

<p>and housing! lol
^_^</p>

1219

<p>I go away for one weekend and this thread blows up with like 8 new pages, wow. I read through all of them. whew.</p>

<p>Now is our time, people... transfers!!! Go us. I'm nervous!</p>

1220

<p>Just called Office of Admissions to double check and they finally have all my application materials, yay.</p>

<p>I asked if they were starting to look at transfer applications, and she said "We'll probably start transfers next week. All decisions will be made by June 1st."</p>

<p>I must say, I don't mind calling USC at all because they don't put you on hold for very long, if at all, and they always sound so warm and welcoming.</p>

<p>My friend just got accepted to USC Medical School (!!!) and that makes me want to go to USC even more, because then 3 of my circle of friends can call ourselves Trojans. Crossing my fingers!</p>
