| How do you get the Transferable GPA?
Also, I want to apply to transfer too, but I will be a freshman THIS year, and will transfer and begin there as a sophomore Fall 2008. So...am I supposed to have all the GE and Pre-reqs finished too, even after just 2 semesters? |

| ^ Don't quote me on this, but I don't think you need to have ALL GE done. I think it would be wise to finish your pre-reqs though.
How many units are you guys taking this fall? | |

| Yes. My second major was poli sci and my prereqs for that major was finished. I was unexpectedly accepted as bio. Sophomore app too.
Thats why I don't know how much more important pre-reqs are. Just to be safe, you guys should have both fully completed. But I really don't think one is more important than the other.... unless you are applying to marshall school of business.
My stats: 3.78 GPA at OCC, 38 units completed, 2.57 HS GPA, 1710 SAT, and I applied as a sophomore since I've only been at OCC for a year.... I got in as a spring admit because I submitted my application past the deadline. | |

| ^ That's encouraging.
I have...3.5 HS GPA, 1850 SAT, and 29 ACT. I am hoping to get a 4.0 at a community college, out of state. And...I'm also applying as a biology major.
And tresfleur, I'll be taking 17 credits this semester (not sure what units mean?). Is 17 this semester and 17 next semester enough? Or should I go up to 20 for next semester?
Also..at my community college, they canceled the Statistics class for this semester. Would it be ok just to have one math class second semester when trying to transfer? | |

From what I know, USC mainly focuses on college GPA when it comes to transfer students. I had the same questions so I actually called and spoke with a counselor who told me that even if I apply as a sophomore standing, the main emphasis is on my college GPA. I hope it helps. | |

| USC is on my list of schools. The others being Occidental (first choice seconded by USC), Claremont McKenna, Pomona College, NYU, Case Western Reserve University, Boston University and Washington University in St. Louis.
-It looks like I'll be getting a 3.7-3.8 this semester.
-I'm planning to join Alpha Gamma Sigma and Phi Theta Kappa.
-I have a ton of community service under my belt (around 400 hours)
-No work experience, although I'm interning with my dad's lawyer. (want to be a lawyer)
-I'll be applying as an English major with a Pre-law emphasis.
We'll see how it goes. | |
