I would love to change but don’t know how to.
No problem thanks for starting it for us it’s been great so far! Anyone out there with a suggestion? If not then we just need to keep reminding those who have been accepted/SGR to keep those posts coming 
My son completed(or in progress) 43 units before graduating from high school, which include the following courses: MATH245，MATH126，MATH114，ECON205，ECON203，WRIT130, a English writing course, introduction to C++, and a nutrition course.
He got 5s on AP Cal BC, AP Comp, AP Psy and 4 on AP USH.
If he want to apply 2015~2016 transfer, he will be a junior or sophomore student?
Does he need to declare major when he apply?
How many units he will be granted from USC for those courses completed( plus APs) before high school graduation?
What courses he needs to take from fall term 2015?
Thank you.
@taotao88 Your situation is unique. I would look up the USC counselor for your son’s school area (There is a page n their website that tells you what counselor is assigned for what district). They are helpful and will guide you with accurate information.
Thank you.

@juniorwhooper101 Hi! I am also a Marshall transfer applicant from a community college in bay area. For your Calculus class completed, how many calculus class have you done?In my college, I have done two classes-- Math 1A (introduction to differential calculus, including limits, derivatives and their applications to curve-sketching, families of functions, and optimization.) and the other is Math 1B (Introduction to integral calculus including definite and indefinite integrals, the first and second Fundamental Theorems and their applications to geometry, physics, and the solution of elementary differential equations.) However, I am now planning to drop my math 1C class this quarter(Introduction to functions of more than one variable, including vectors, partial differentiation, the gradient, contour diagrams and optimization. Additional topics include infinite series, convergence and Taylor series). I am not sure is this class a prerequisite to USC. Can you tell me how far have you done in the calculus classes? Thank you very much!

I have a question. How do I know that I got SGR? is it actually mentioned in the decision letter?
Aw, should have applied to USC. Too old to transfer next year.
Hi,
For those who were admitted, I have to send my final grades to usc so do they just want the spring grades or do they just want another official trancript that has all of our semesters?
Thank you!

[ *] Comments: I had a downward trend in Fall 2014 (due to personal issues) so that is probably why I got rejected from most of the schools. I’m glad that USC factored that in and gave me a chance to prove myself in the Spring semester.
Hi! So glad to meet so many people who are also applying for USC!
I am a newbie here and I just skimmed the past posts.
So happy to know a lot of good information as well as inspiration from other applicants!
And I have a question:
My current major is Information management and information system. And I apply for sociology in USC.
Yet somehow I regret and wish to change it to economics.
Will that affect my chance of admission?
And will AO evaluate applicants based on their majors, or in a more general way?
Thank you! Really wish that we can all meet in the USC and become alumni.
