<p>Why does USC require your highschool transcript if you're applying as a transfer student of junior status?
Does this mean that if your senior grades in HS kind of sucked, you're screwed?</p>
<p>I've heard two, slighly different reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you have more than 30 hours, they will not weigh your HS stats heavily, but will still look at them in deciding.</p></li>
<li><p>If you have more than 30 hours, they will focus entirely on your college work, and perhaps need the transcript just for verification purposes.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Either way, if you have more than 30 credits and a good college GPA it shouldn't be a problem. Although, if there was a significant issue that plagued you during those years, you may want to mention it.</p>
<p>Best of luck :)</p>
<p>What is a good college gpa for a transfer?</p>
<p>According to the brochure on their website, the avg. admitted transfer GPA last year was 3.7. Of course, that says nothing about the range. </p>
<p>I had a 3.69 with mostly natural science courses from an honors program at a tier two school and got Spring admission.</p>
