<p>help. i already had an undergrad degree under my belt and i want to go to usc for a second one. i'm planning to apply as a trasfer fall 07. my gpa is 2.5/4 our grading system is different because its divided into .5 so 0,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4.0 i think its a B. should i still apply or just forget about it? im an international student by the way.
ps im hoping to get in viterbi (env.eng) or env.stud.</p>
<p>no answers? oh well.</p>
<p>hmm that reminds me of the phillipine grading system.. where did you get ur first degree from? and what degree is it?</p>
<p>what country?
and don't expect a lot of financial aid when you do get in</p>
<p>You said your gpa is like a B? Well, if by our standards you are saying 3.0 then theres not much of a chance. But figure out somehow to convert your gpa into the normal 4.0 gpa scale.</p>
<p>iwanatransfer, you're from the philippines too?</p>
<p>our grading system is the inverse of what UP, UST etc has. ours range from 0 to 4. 0=fail, 1=passing 4=excellent. with increments of 0.5. so 0, 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 </p>
<p>i think the other one is from 1 to 5. 1 the highest and 5 is fail. with grades as follows 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 5. 3=passing</p>
<p>even both grading systems here are having a hard time matching each other. </p>
<p>i got my first degree from the philippines.</p>
