USC transfer question(s)

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a student who is interested in transferring to usc, as i am sure there are many others like me out there. I was originally at lmu, but took a leave of absence do to several personal reasons that greatly affected my academic performance (my acum was 2.52 and my cc gpa is 4.0). After i left i enrolled at a cc to figure out what exactly i wanted to get out of college, and i know now what i want to do. </p>

<p>What my main questions are:</p>

<p>does usc have a limit to how many units a transfer can have?
does retaking a class/classes that you did poorly in to get a better grade help or hurt you?
does usc only look for students who have the best gpas?</p>

<p>also, i WAS interested in pursuing a bfa and took a number of art classes before determining that i should stick with business. i only mention this because the classes inflate my total number of credits, and i do not know if they have any significance.</p>

<ul>
<li>Yes, the maximum credits to transfer over is 64 semester.</li>
<li>Somewhat, USC does not acknowledge academic renewal. So that means your retaken classes will be averaged out with your previous grade for that course. If this is a prereq course then I would say it will hurt a lot.</li>
<li>I don’t think so, I believe they want a well rounded individual who can not only bring in academics but also some school spirit.</li>
