USC Fall 08 transfers

<p>Awesome! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't go to USC if I did not get into my 1st major choice (music industry). If I only got into my 2nd major (philosophy) and I got into either UCB or UCLA, I'd go to to them, but this way I have more options at USC if I later decide I'd rather major in something other than philosophy.</p>

<p>Very paranoid first time poster. Be honest you guys, these are my stats,,,
Transferable GPA: 3.97
Units: 66 by the end of spring/53 by application deadline
GE's: finished
Pre-Req: I'm a Communications major so I pretty much just need Stats
EC: Clubs & volunteer work, Dean's list, honor societies etc.,
Work: financial services w/my parents
Legacy: 1st in family to go to college
Applying to: Annenberg
2nd major: Public Relations, also under Annenberg
current school: Los Angeles City College</p>

<p>p.s. i'm a bit confused with the whole "USC looks at the school you come from", well, LACC is no Santa Monica College or Pasadena City let me tell you. Should I worry about it?</p>

<p>Juana, like you dont know that you are a perfect applicant</p>

<p>-im just worried bc the e.c.'s are all recent, as in this semester (!) and i have no leadership positions and annenberg wants it XP. i know the basics are covered but its the extra stuff that i worry about. like will admission feel 1. i didnt know what i was doing and am now trying to squeeze it all in?</p>

<ol>
<li>that what i did do [bc i was going to apply as a production major but found out it's ery difficult to get in] that my volunteer work has nothing to do with my current career plans? thx for ur response btw!</li>
</ol>

<p>they don't really investigate ur ECs do they,
just give tweaks here and there and alls good >_></p>

<p>thx. "tweaks", lol.</p>

<p>if u did it for the past 6 months say u did it for a year >_>
to be honest i m not sure how serious m i about saying this</p>

<p>but er... do they check? >_> i know UCs can really "spy" on u but i have no clue about SC</p>

<p>anyone has any clue about USC intel?
considering their alumni it must be a pretty broad network of intel xD</p>

<p>uc's---> really? i'd think they'd be more lax about it. they have so many more applicants overall</p>

<p>Q: How many of you filled out the October 15th part 1 Application?</p>

<p>I submitted mine a couple of nights ago. (:</p>

<p>Yeah it's pretty basic but I figured if I wait it out and submit the whole thing together, USC will see a slightly higher GPA after this semester is over. </p>

<p>Good/Bad idea? :P</p>

<p>I would assume that it wouldn't matter because they will see the new grades before they make a decision.</p>

<p>Well they do admit some people in without even requesting Spring grades. ((sigh)) let me be one of those people! lol, otherwise I'll have to accept a backup school and then switch to accept USC. If they ask for spring grades, their final decision will probably come in July. :P</p>

<p>Hopefully they dont ask for my spring grade!</p>

<p>i know. i'd like to think we have grades good enough to get in right away and get an answer quickly? hehe :D</p>

<p>Sorry not to have replied to some messages back on page 9 for awhile, but I've been out of the country (in England and Wales) for my work for the last couple of weeks.</p>

<p>As far as what I posted, "3454 applicants per year, 944 accepted", that number is wrong, since I used the wrong CDS website.</p>

<p>Please excuse my error. </p>

<p>The Collegeboard numbers are correct.</p>
