frankly, the chance of *any* transfer student to USC arch is low. That's no reflection on you, but some years they take ten transfers, some years they take two, depending on the attrition rate from that year's freshmen. Either way, the best you can do is having to take a summer studio and then starting second year in the fall.
Sorry to be a downer, it's just not a program that's easy on transfers.
Thats interesting... I emailed Executive Director of Student Services a couple months ago and she told me they typically enroll 30 new transfer students each year... :-\ Have you known any transfer students that have gotten in with my "specs"?
sunset, did you specifically ask the Exec Director for the number of transfers into the architecture program, or are 30 students enrolled into the entire undergrad school?
I would guess that they mostly go straight into first year. I guess in my first post I hadn't thought about the transfers that start over from the beginning... because they're basically the same as freshmen. I was mostly thinking about those that get to go into the second year studios. Sorry if I was overly gloomy because of that slip of mind.
