Transfer Students

<p>What are my chances of getting into USC Marshall as a transfer student?
I'm applying from out of state community college.</p>

<p>Credit hours: 60
GPA: 3.85 (Maybe 3.9 after this semester)
Completed pre-req for Marshall
GE: Completed
Work Experience: worked 50 hrs/wk for a semester as a waitress.
Violinist for Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra
Volunteer Experience: 100 hrs at the library/Salvation Army</p>

<p>Micro econ:A
Macro econ: A
Bus Calc: A
Eng Comp: B
Financial Accounting: A
Managerial Accounting: C</p>

<p>I have one C in managerial accounting, which i don't think is a transferable course to USC because transfer students are required to take the course at USC. I also withdrew from my classes for a semester because I had to work over 50 hours/week, and I have 2 withdrawals other than that one semester I had to completely withdraw.I eventually ended up re-taking all the classes I withdrew from and reieved As.
What are my chances of getting accepted to USC?</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot. :) All you have to do is explain the W's. I was taking an Anthro class this winter, for example and got REALLy sick. Until then, my transcript was pretty great and so as an additional note on the app I mentioned the whole hospitalized thing and that I would take 5 classes to make it up. You're right up there tho. The average GPA of a transfer student jumped from 3.5 to 3.7 in one year and you are definately ahead of the curve and have great Ec's. Good luck!</p>

<p>how long have u been at ur community college?</p>

<p>Transferrable or not , a C in Managerial Accounting - core course - will definitely hurt your chances.</p>

<p>It won't break you considering the consistency of your other work. I wouldn't stress out about it.</p>

5

<p>Do you think they would care that I took a semester off here n there to work full time due to financial reasons to support myself? Would it hurt my chances of getting into USC?</p>

<p>Also, since USC is a private school, do you think that applying for financial aid will hurt my chances of getting in? It just seems more logical that USC would prefer to accept students that will pay the most.</p>

<p>Pakiboy- I've attended my school since Spring 05- now. I took semesters off here and there to work full time.</p>

<p>In terms of taking off a semester: I dont think so. I have a friends that was in the same situation that goes to USC and is a year or a year and a half older than me but is a sophomore.</p>

<p>The financial aid site USC</a> Financial Aid
mentions a figure of 60% of students receive some type of financial aid. The applicants that have to prove that they can pay tuition are international students since there isn't any financial aid available for them.</p>

<p>This article, with Timothy Brunold states USC is need blind, so that means they don't consider financial need as making or breaking the applicant.
I hope this is true because USC is also the school of my dreams and I've made it tough for them to reject me, lol. I hope! I've worked hard at CCC and it would be a shame to not be able to attend for financial reasons.
