USC SCA TRANSFERS 2019-2020

Hi everyone!

As we are getting closer and closer to the decision date I wanted to start a thread for SCA transfers from other colleges. Feel free to ask any questions or provide any info you think will be helpful! Has anyone heard back yet or know when decisions will begin rolling out?

hey I’m coming from a public 4 year university! sort of heard back with spring grade request. Hbu?

i’m coming from a california cc! i’ve only had an interview with an sca faculty member and no spring grade request. can i ask what your gpa is?

yeah lol I have a 3.76, but I also didn’t expect to transfer at first b/c I’m at the honors college at my university, so I took way too hard classes which is why it is sort of low

definitely not low in my opinion, i think you still have a really good shot. do you know when transfers are expected to hear back?

I think people have been hearing back for SGRs this week based on all of the threads here, probably all week, and I saw some acceptances last week, but if they ask you for spring grades, you won’t hear back until after you send an official transcript, which at most schools is not ready until like June so they said by mid July all transfers will hear back

update: according to the USC admissions twitter, applicants will receive a final admissions decision or a SGR by May 31st

yeah I already got the SGR which means I have quite a while of waiting to go lol, maybe you’re going to get a straight up admission

i’m reading that the SGR is kind of a way to see if you’re getting in so if you did well in your classes i’m sure you’ll get admitted. i really hope i get admitted but also really don’t want to get the SGR bc i can barely wait a month lol

Ik lol the waiting is the worst part, but good luck to you!! I’ll post here if I hear back a final decision soon

Hello!

Not sure how I missed this thread but, I applied as a junior transfer for the Film/TV Production major. I have a 4.0 and am coming from a CCC. I’ve had two interviews with faculty members. Haven’t received a decision or SGR either. I’m personally hoping to hear this week but, who knows!

@FemmeFilmFatale woah you had two interviews?

also realize i haven’t put up my stats for my own thread lol

TTP: no
Entering as: Junior
GPA: 3.92

@filmmajorusc Yeah, one was scheduled and the other was out of the blue.

I’m gonna drop my stats as well:

So, it looks like some Dornsife people are starting to hear back! Fingers crossed SCA is soon!

hope so! it seems like a lot of sca applicants didn’t get SGR’d so i’m hoping for the same lol

We might be hearing back soon right? Like May 16 onwards? I’m not too sure, but I think I saw a post on the main thread that said some people last year started hearing back around then.
