<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME..THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME
ANY COMMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED !!</p>
<p>0%…</p>
<p>You know what, I can’t chance you. I’m not going to chance you because at USC, GPA isn’t the only thing. If you wrote an impressive essay, you can make up for a low GPA. I honestly probably only had a 3.6 (I did however explain that I had a lower GPA my freshman year due to family issues) and I heard back a week ago from Marshall and was accepted. It just really depends, I can’t say. No one can except USC themselves. So you just are going to have sit back and wait.</p>
<p>El / Why do you think it’s absolutely impossible?</p>
<p>Futuregirl/ Thanks I think you are right. I’ve never heard of 3.6 admitted but if that’s true,
it’s really unpredictable…and that explains 4.0 rejection which happened last year. I think my essay is pretty strong…but who knows. It is obvious that i wasn’t selected in the first wave of admissions last week…</p>
<p>I was admitted a few days ago with a 3.6… but perhaps that’s because I applied for engineering (GPA expectations for engineering are significantly lower due to the rigorous coursework)</p>
<p>Please people im dying
chance me/ any comment please jesus christ super star~!!</p>

<p>Not sure how you weigh-in, but I guess you can compare it to mine:</p>
<p>California Community College
California Resident
Spring is ALSO my 5th semester
GPA: 4.0 (Includes all pre-requisites such as calculus & both econ courses, will be taking final general requirement this summer)
4 W’s from another community college before I moved back to Cali. Was a single semester. Long story short, many medical & family issues.</p>
<p>Have always worked full-time, gone to school full-time. Currently work for a firm that yields 40-50 hours per week. Aside from all that, plenty of hardships which is making my essay more than just difficult when it comes to making it concise.</p>
<p>Also didn’t apply for financial aid or scholarships. I’m very busy and would have loved to put my energy into scholarships, extracurricular activities, etc.</p>
<p>As a general note, the USC admission process allows you to introduce yourself on paper – to emphasize the life you have lead through all hardships, lessons learned and any other experiences or nuances that are important. The key is to identify them.</p>
<p>I am equally nervous about applying. I never am confident about things I cannot control. That’s just my nature. Not sure how relevant this is as I will be applying to Marshall for the Fall of 2010.</p>
<p>after looking at the official UCS admit thread and last year’s thread i can gather that 3.8s and higher have a great chance at getting into marshall. 3.75 is a great gpa and you should have a good shot…why is there even a chance-me thread about this when there are so many other data threads about USC out there? MARSHALL IS HARDER TO GET INTO THAN THE OTHER SCHOOLS. ****</p>
