USC transfer from East

[EasttoWest]

<p>Help me you guys.</p>

<p>I want to transfer from Carnegie Mellon to USC.
My compelling reason is the emergence of my love for journalism.
I originally came to Mellon for their creative writing program, but I am
not thrilled with that anymore and they don't have journalism here.</p>

<p>I will have around a 3.85 gpa from here and have actively been involved in the
university newspaper. I want to apply to Annenberg.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot?
Does coming from the east help me?</p>

<p>Additionally, my girlfriend wants to transfer. She would go undecided or arts and sciences but has a compelling reason for transfer. She is actively involved in greek life and multiple charity fundraisers.</p>

<p>She goes to University of Pittsburgh and will have around a 3.5 gpa.</p>

<p>Does she have a chance?</p>

<p>We both have less than 30 units (we will be applying as sophmores)</p>

<p>We both had decent gpas in high school (around 4.0 weighted).
My SAT score was a 1320 and hers was a 1200.</p>

<p>Do we have any chance of making it together??
Thanks for all of your help.</p>

<p>you have good chance. it doesnt matter where you are from. atleast i dont think. </p>

<p>annenberg likes it when you have meaningfull experience in communications so mention all your ecs involving communications/journalism.</p>

<p>It's harder to get into jounralism (especially broadcast journalism) than it is communication. They really like go-getters, so talk a lot about your journalism experience. Talka bout career ambitions and wanting to get involved in campus orgs too, since the J-school really pushes its clubs.</p>
