i heard a rumor that rec letters from usc alumni is a big up, does anyone know if thats true?

@douchhe I applied to production

[CINLEI]

@douchhebagshiv: i doubt it, wouldn't make any sense since alumni's can't validate your academic character unless you've worked with them professionally and academically, then perhaps but then again you need proof of such a relationship

Cinlei- Im definitely aiming for a B! Im studying as we speak. Math has always been a weak point for me. The main reason why I didnt transfer to a university straight out of high school was because I failed algebra 2. I learn math pretty much from the ground up every semester because its hard for me to retain it.

[CINLEI]

@Ngarcia: yes, i agree. math is a pretty hard subject to grasp. best regards to your math class :P

[douchhebagshiv]

@cinlei

would a professor count??

[CINLEI]

@douchhebagshiv: yes definitely but you probably need to establish that relationship on ur letter of rec

Just finished my semester with a 4.0, but I only took 4 classes (12 credits). Transcripts are available for me to send as of this Tuesday. I have 68 college credits now (about 11-14 credits aren't transferable, since I can't transfer any Econ classes to Marshall)

I haven't gotten ANY CHANGES on my usconnect. Should I send my transcripts in? I feel like that since I took only 4 classes, it might hurt my chances.

[CINLEI]

lol did they ask for SGR

[iloveschools]

Hey guys, I have asked this question but no one answered so I will just ask again. I got my package and it says my class level is sophomore, but I have completed 75.5 units, and right now I am taking 14 units. So my class level should be junior right? Should I call USC to change it cause in the letter it says my class level may change after they have received my final transcript, but I think they mean people with <60 units and are currently taking some classes so their class level may change when they get more than 60 units after their current semester. I don't think mine is the case since I already completed >60 units. anyone got any ideas?? Thanks

[CINLEI]

@iloveschools: hm. i think it depends on the classes of your major that are relevant to your class level, there are probably some classes you haven't taken that you can only take at USC

[ilovescience]

@ iloveschools

check the articulation agreement between your school and usc here: USC ARR : Articulation

some of your credits may not have transferred over...i'm currently in the process of writing my appeals -____-

[Lilyyyyy]

My recommendation letter doesn't show on my USCconnect. I'm guessing my professor forgot to send it. It was a good one too since he is a USC alumni... is it too late to ask him to send it now?? lol.... he's really young and lazy

[CINLEI]

@Lilyyyyy: i would think its too late LOL if he's lazy, i wouldn't count on his letter of rec.. :O unless you read it yourself

[iloveschools]

@CINLEI ohhh I see, cause almost all of my major classes are not available at my CC and are only available at USC. No wonder, hah! Thank you so much for explaining this to me! Does it mean I have to stay at USC for at least 3 years?
