You all have good chances. Just do as much GE as possible.

bumbumbum

do GEs really matter that much? from what i hear, USC is pretty lenient on applicants finishing up the reqs.

as far as applying for college of letters & arts goes, do you guys think its a good idea to include econ as my 2nd choice if i havent taken a semester of foreign language yet? (im planning on taking the 3rd semester of foreign lang during the summer)

i emailed my local USC counselor and she said that the foregin language requirement can be finished at USC.

Torrancecali

bumbumbum- you are all good!
question: what was your friend GPA who got in as soc major?

Doryx

I was under the impression that prereq were more important than GE. However, when I applied as a Bio Major, I had all but one of my GEs finished and NONE of my prereqs completed. My second choice was Poli Sci and I did have all those PreReqs completed. I applied as a sophomore and I got in as a Spring Admit as bio.

I honestly dont know what is more important, but you should try your best to finish as many as you can imo. It's only 15 units or so.

The only thing that worrys me is 7'Ws that I have.

CCC: Pasadena City COllege
GPA: 4.0
Pre-reqs: all done/in progress except Acctg2
GEs: Will be done by spring
Major: Accounting (Leventhal)
EC: nothing...
Work Experience: English tutor, Statistics tutor, and more tutoring

bumbumbum

torrance: there was a guy i knew in one of my classes last spring who said he got in w/ a 3.5. my cousin said she got in w/ a 3.0, but that was like 4 or 5 years ago lol.

adamantine: hahaha sweet u go to pcc too. you've got a great shot at leventhal. the only drawback might be the lack of ecs. u should join this club called SIFE, its a business-related club called students in free enterprise, u can get application forms in the T building. it'll be something that u can include on ur ec resume.

Is there a foreign language requirement for an economics major? Because I know there isn't one for business administration, which is my first choice. I'm negating what to put for my second major because the only foreign language I took was Spanish for 2 1/2 years in high school.

goldenjet

Torrance- 7 W's?!? god damn thats alot! Do you have a good excuse as to why you have so many because 7 doesn't look good at all unless you've completed a few full semesters without one.


USC24- everyone in CLAS has the 3 semester language requirement.

Hey all. Sophomore transfer here (hopefully) for film studies.

My local counselor has not answered any of my emails or phone calls. Why does USC hate me? Thank god for CC...

Torrancecali

goldenjet- I mean i dont have W's every semester and I work full time so.... that's a big reason!
bumbum- okay! USC in in! lol!
