<p>My son got rejected from USC today. He was well qualified and we are very sad. Strangely, they said in the letter that they were very interested in having him transfer in two or three semesters. They wanted to make an appointment with him to come in and be counseled for transferring. I personally do not trust them. So then do you follow their directions and get rejected again? Has anyone ever heard of this? Do they send the letter to thousands of kids? They also invited him to appeal their decision.</p>
<p>I was especially upset because a friend whose child had lesser grades, scores etc. got in. The difference is that they are very wealthy. I am feeling mighty cranky. Both my husband and I went to USC.</p>
<p>Based on what I’ve seen, it seems that rejected applicants with legacy received that information in their letters. If your son really wants to go to USC, I suggest that he go to either a community college or another university while following USC’s counseling to hopefully transfer in as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Personally I would take that negatively and I probably wouldn’t want to accept such a request, no matter how much I love my first choice (I was initially deferred by OSU but got in).</p>
<p>What are his other options? Those acceptances mean that they want him to be there this upcoming fall, not after another year. If I were in your son’s position, I would consider USC as a last option. If he has other colleges that accepted him, I’m sure he would enjoy it there.</p>
<p>i thought some colleges put that in every rejection letters, saying how much they want you as a “future” transfer, and how you could always appeal. I think its just a nice way to say no. I am not really sure tho cause i didn’t apply to USC, but if your son really wants to go there he should definately appeal, it won’t hurt…and good luck!</p>
