USC Fall 08 transfers

<p>not to try and steal the spotlight from redtape but I got the same email w/ the same wording as red tape! =)
crazykumar, not to worry, it's still way to early ... what exactly did your email say?</p>

<p>Just checked w/son. Not the same, his variation:</p>

<p>In order to complete our review of your admission application, we
would like to see your academic performance in the spring term. We
realize that you are taking engineering-related courses in the spring,
and we look forward to seeing your continued success in these courses!
Once you have completed your spring coursework, you will need to take
the following action: etc, etc....</p>

<p>So RedTape and ReliantK would you mind posting your stats; your gpa and completed engineering coursework and total units? Thanks!</p>

<p>RelientK, it is just like mmck55 except it is a little different haha. i believe there are 3 different emails going out. i got the worst but life goes on. cheers to you guys ! i think you are in for sure so not to worry no more :) </p>

<p>"Greetings from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering! Once again, we’d like to thank you for completing the Viterbi Supplemental Transfer Application. This online form allows the Viterbi School to expedite the admission review process, and as a result we are able to inform you of your admission status before June 1st.
In order to complete our review of your admission application, we need to see your academic performance in the spring term. You are taking engineering-related courses in the spring, and these grades will be important in making a final admission decision. Once you have completed your spring coursework, you will need to take the following action"</p>

<p>my stats:</p>

<p>3.5 Computer Science
missing calc 1c, 2a,2b
everything else complete</p>

<p>crazykumar- don't sell yourself short. Can you pull off some great grades this semester? Won't hurt you to live at the library! right?</p>

<p>No prob mmck55</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7, Major GPA: 3.9
Not sure about transferable GPA, because there are a few courses that I'm still not sure about (I come from an out-of-state private school in ny ... not prestigious at all and you've probably never heard of it ... articulation histories are limited and I'm still not exactly sure what will and will not transfer).</p>

<p>Junior Transfer
Applying to Viterbi EE
Completed 56 credits, taking 16 this semester (that's 72 total)
Finished most if not all pre-reqs (once again not sure here).
I have taken up to Calc III and am taking Diff Eq now, I've completed Physics I and II and a basic computer programming class. I've only completed one actual engineering class to date (Intro to EE which I actually did relatively poor in, I got a B+). I'm taking two more engineering classes now, but I guess I've done enough units where they don't need to see my spring grades.</p>

<p>mmck55- What do your S's stats look like?</p>

<p>crazykumar-your email looks pretty much the same as mmck's (save for a few wording differences). I wouldn't worry too much about that if I were you. Just pull through with good grades this semester.</p>

<p>RelientK - that is impressive. Your Viterbi response today is deserved. I am going off memory right now, so I try and recall the important stuff. Here goes:
37 CCC units completed with a 3.811
4.0 major GPA, but only one course so far... calc
He's completed the diversity class and got an A in the 3rd level English composition. Because of the limited Major coursework he has taken, the spring grades are pretty important. He's taking CalcII, Physic- the first one and because he couldn't get in Chem he's taking a PHIL course. He says the classes are way difficult, and that he'll be lucky to get solid B's in the Math and Physics. So we shall see.</p>

<p>yeah ur right mmck55 :)</p>

<p>Grrrr.... i got nothing from viterbi yet</p>

<p>Popiece- did you complete the Supplemental Application? If you didn't you wouldn't have gotten the email today. Or maybe you'll get it tomorrow-- April 1st? just kidding...</p>

<p>Congrats to you Redtape.</p>

<p>=)</p>

<p>i did, that's y they told me to check email on april 2nd... but some of you already got them... I'm jealous now >_<</p>

<p>Oh, I misunderstood an earlier post then. Let us know when you get it. Don't worry, you're stats look to be right in where they should be, don't you think?</p>

<p>do you think they ask everyone for their spring grades ?</p>

<p>i mean i think my gpa should be confident (as they said before) but i am worreid about w's i got (which is four) . of course i explained through the supplemental stuff, but still worreid about that particular factor...
i want the admission badly right now right here~!</p>

<p>no they don't. Christian (admission coordinator of USC viterbi) said it could be just decison or the spring grade request.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the kind words, I really appreciate them. Especially you Woman.Of.Troy as I know from reading numerous posts of yours just how much you've been through and how important this is to you. I hope I can say that I understand how you feel and I hope you'll receive your acceptance as soon as possible.</p>

<p>I'd like to keep the release of my information to a bare minimum before I hear back from all the schools I've applied to, for personal reasons. I will say, however, that my stats are quite close to those of RelientK's, with GPA in the margin of +/- 0.5. I have a few less units than he does but since I'm coming from a CCC I'm sure all of my units will transfer. Overall, my stats are not much different at all from his, except that I'm applying for CS instead of EE and I'll most likely minor in something media related.</p>

<p>I'm keeping my fingers crossed as even though this was obviously good news, it's no guarantee for anything and it's certainly no acceptance letter. Until the time comes for which that thick packet arrives in my mailbox, I'm in the same position as everyone else here, still waiting, still hoping and still anxious as well.</p>

<p>Best wishes and best of luck to all of us here and everyone else out there who's in the same boat! Hang on in there, for there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel!</p>

<p>nice post redtapepatrol ... best of luck to you and me as well as everyone else on CC. The email that some of us got today doesn't guarantee anything and as redtape said, we're all still in this. BTW redtape, I'm assuming you meant your GPA is within the range of +/- .05 =P</p>

<p>Yes, within the range of +/- 0.5 of yours. :p</p>

<p>best of luck to all you guys im getting off this usc thread ! ill let you know my final admission status when it comes. remember god does good things for good people so try n relax</p>

<p>wow, i wish i was smart enough for viterbi! congrats to everyone so far, and best of luck-hopefully we'll all be trojans soon enough :)</p>
