<p>Hello I just wanted to know if you guys think I have an opportunity to get accepted into USC Marshall School of Business as a NY Private School Transfer for the Fall of 2015. So far my GPA is awful at a whopping 2.67. I know that will NOT be accepted but it was my first semester of freshman year and I had a lot going on and it affected my school work. I'm doing much better this semester and I am taking a math 3 class over the summer as a pre-req for math 7 (required to transfer to Marshall). I plan on upping my GPA to 3.8 do you think I have enough time to do so with this semester, my summer class and fall 2014 semester? I also am in a few clubs and work at Starbucks as a barista. I've been in contact with the transfer admission counselor who works with transfers from NY state. Below is a list of course I am taking this semester, over the summer and in the fall 2014. I also put in my first semester classes and grades. Also what is a good essay topic for my application?</p>

<p>Freshman Year (Fall 2013):
- English 1 (B)
- Microeconomics (B)
- Sociology 1 (C)
- French 1 (B- )
- College 101 (required course) (Pass)</p>

<p>GPA: 2.67</p>

<p>Freshman Year (Spring 2014):
- English 2
- Macroeconomics
- Finance Elective (Independent Studies)
- Sociology 2
- Intro to Management</p>

<p>Summer Class (2014):
- Math 3 (needed as prerequisite for Math 7)</p>

<p>Sophomore Year (Fall 2014):
- Russian 1 (Should I take history instead?)
- English 7
- Accounting 11
- Intro to Biology and Lab Requirement
- Intro to Marketing (Should I take math 7 here instead?)</p>

<p>Its a reach I think the GPA is too low. But you have plenty of time to bring it up.

<p>Yeah I know a 2.67 is low but I asked if I had enough time, in which you said I did. Do you think those are good classes?</p>

<p>Also do you think between this semester I’m finishing my math summer class and my fall semester of 2014 I’ll have enough time to up my GPA to a 3.8?</p>
