<p>Hello I graduated from high school this May and started Community College this summer. I have been a full time student since the summer (6 units and passed both classes with A's) and I am have started my fall semester this week (12 units in total for the four classes that I am currently taking). I would love to transfer to my dream school USC and get into Anneberg School for Communication & Journalism since I plan on majoring in Broadcast Journalism. I plan on taking the transferable courses that USC wants and also meet for Annenberg transfers. I found out that its possible to transfer as a sophomore to USC and would continue to do my best to hopefully get admitted for next year. Now what I need help with is everything I must do in order to apply for sophomore year and the expectations that must be met. Ill start now and say that my highschool record was not the best and I never took the SAT. I read that USC will look at HS records and SAT for students who apply with less than 30 units and make it part of the decision for admissions. Now if they have 30 units or more the HS records and SAT wont taken for consideration that determines admission but HS records will still be looked at regardless. I will most likely have 30 units by the end of the winter semester. Now I am not sure when the winter semester ends but I have a feeling it will end a day before application deadline for USC! If I don't get admitted to USC for next year but apply again for junior standing, will my chances of getting in be smaller since I got rejected from USC the first time? When i turn in my application will USC ask for a spring grade request? I ask this because I want USC to see that I will still be taking GE requirements for USC (mostly pertaining to Annenberg) and see that I am doing excellent in them. Also I wont be taking English 103 or 102 till spring semester and also intermediate college level math which are the required classes that fulfill the GE requirements for the Mathematics and English categories. I also should have started on my college application now if i plan to transfer to sophomore year correct? Thank you all who read my whole post and I hope that you all answer everyone of my concerns and suggest the best advice! :)</p>

Correct.
Correct. There are exceptions, but in general applicants accepted as sophomore transfers have high school records and test scores that would have put them into contention for freshman admission.
Partially correct. If a student with more than 30 units had an excellent SAT or ACT they may certainly submit it with their transfer application and it will be seen by admissions. HS records must be submitted in all cases to verify that the applicant graduated. For applicants demonstrating excellent work in 30 units or more of college work the high school record will not be a detriment as long as they graduated.
No. If you continue to demonstrate excellent work in your college courses having applied as a sophomore might actually help by demonstrating a commitment to become a Trojan.
Transfer applications are due 2/1/2014. Financial aid applications are due 2/2/2014. <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/transfer.html[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/transfer.html</a> Annenberg applicants have additional requirements: [Additional</a> Requirements - USC Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/additional_req.html]Additional”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/additional_req.html)</p>
<p>I suggest you look up posts by dreamupsided0wn (a sophomore SCA transfer currently in her senior year) and RandomNewGuy (recent Annenberg transfer attending USC) for more information on the transfer process at USC.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>If I’m correct 6 units isn’t a full time student. A full-time student would be 12 units or more. So technically you’re considered half time.</p>
