Spring Grade Request - CLAS/English


Stats:

• College transferring from: American River College (CCC)
• Entering as: Sophomore
• GPA: 3.66 for USC, 3.769 cumm.
• Units completed: 9 transferable, 13 completed + AP Bio
• Units in progress: 13
• Pre-reqs completed: N/A
• GEs completed: All except Diversity which I'm taking in the summer

Subjective:

• ECs listed on app: A ton from high school. I was varsity cheerleading captain. I also volunteered at a local elementary school, worked with my city councilwoman, volunteered with the American Cancer Society, and competed in poetry competitions. I was involved with student government and some other various clubs.
• Job/Work Experience: I work part time at a grocery store.
• Essays (subject and responses): I wrote on "What Matters to Me and Why". I wrote about how getting rejected from colleges and being forced to go to community college made me realize what was important in life. I used the Wizard of Oz as an extended metaphor for my experience. It was incredibly passionate, and it screams, "I want to go to USC". I think this was definitely one of my strong points.
• Letters of Recommendation: None

Other:

• Other schools applied to: USC or bust baby! Well at least this year anyway
• Comments: I'm really nervous and excited. Obviously my stats are quite as high as others, and sometimes that makes me a little insecure. Then I remember that I got a SGR instead of a rejection for a reason.
