<p>I'm currently at Los Angeles Pierce College, and I just recently graduated high school this past June. I'm planning to the the one year thing at CC, then transfer to USC as a sophomore. </p>

<p>-Does anyone know what are the chances of getting in as a sophomore?
-I also have a portfolio which I've been building for several months now, what exactly does USC's transfer program look for?</p>

<p>not too sure on your chances, but be aware that you would have to start all over and stay there for five years if you want the b.arch</p>

<p>My son knows an architecture transfer from a CC. Are you sure you have to start all over? Wasn’t aware of that.</p>

<p>yeah, the b.arch requires 5 years of studio… can’t make that up at a CC.
I had two transfers from CC in my studio before i changed majors.</p>

<p>I know that based on your portfolio, students are placed into different categories of studio? I have heard of starting over and doing 5 years though, but I thought that’s only for if students were placed into beginning studio art?</p>

<p>Arctic–did you change your major out of Architecture at USC?</p>

<p>^ yessir, though technically i’m still architecture because i havent declared otherwise (currently taking pre-reqs for internal transfer instead of studio)</p>

<p>not true. all freshmen are in the same studio session, split up into various sections randomly. you would have to start over because in order to graduate with a b.arch, you need 5 years of studio at usc.</p>

<p>however, if you go the b.s. arch route you only need two years of studio so you can graduate earlier.</p>
