<p>We submitted our applications way back in February... long before most colleges had their transfer applications due...</p>

<p>Do you guys think we'll hear later this month or hopefully very early in May? I'm really anxious to find out...</p>

10

<p>Everything I have heard and read is that transfers will hear in late may all the way thru june. This doesn't really work for me since Cal Poly need's to get my SIR by May 1st. Not sure what to do.

<p>How long could it take them to make decisions if their deadlines are in mid- Februrary? </p>

<p>I'm just getting anxious to hear at this point... I hate how there's nothing more you can do at the moment but just wait</p>

12

<p>3.85. Communications. </p>

<p>Honors, editor-in-chief of college/community magazine, blah blah blah. Very very nice letter of rec from honors director/state honors CCC Chair.</p>

<p>Not my first choice but would be an exceptional back up. Also interested in hearing from them, not expecting to until June though.</p>

13

<p>An Annenberg Admissions counselor told me yesterday they expect to send out notifications between May 10 and 27. So, my guess is some will begin hearing by May 11 and 12.</p>

14

<p>Does USC require recommendations when you transfer or is that optional?</p>

15

<p>it's optional for letters, arts and sciences majors. annenberg (and i'm pretty sure some of the other professional schools) require at least one letter of recommendation.</p>

16

<p>p.s. is everybody posting their usc transfer gpas or just their current gpas?</p>
