| When is the deadline to send in applications? About what time can we expect to hear about our acceptance/rejection? I noticed that some '08 transfers are basically getting their acceptances right now, and that could be a huge problem for someone like me who also plans to apply to the UC schools (since there is a deadline). |

| jk_91:
Application Deadline: February 1st
Decisions Released: Beginning...
*April 1st for Engineers.
*Everyone else's application STARTS getting reviewed immediately after freshman decisions are over (last week of March), which means April 1st onwards. Realistically, don't expect much/anything before then.*
*Everyone else at earliest Mid-May. (Though a very rare occurence)
*Most decisions for Fall and Spring Grade Requests are sent out anywhere from Late May through Early-June.
*People with Spring Grade Requests wait for their grades to be processed into the computer and re-evaluated. Some are still waiting as we speak and will receive either a Fall acceptance this week or most likely a spring admission offer/rejection next week. So SGR's can extend the wait until mid-late July.
jk_91: I understand, many people have had the same dilemma. What is usually done is that they SIR with a UC and then once accepted to USC, they cancel the admission to the UC. It's just the $100 (I think) that's inconvenient. | |

| Can you still cancel the SIR even after you send in your transcripts? I believe the deadline for UCs was the 15th of this month. I would think there'd be some sort of repercussion (other than the $100 loss) for waiting so long to tell them you won't be attending. | |

| I'm sure you can, you'd just have to explain to the right people. I know some people that transfered into other privates that withdrew from a UC and just never showed up, lol. But if it's a procrastination problem then that won't be a good excuse, make sure you follow all deadlines for these schools. You'll have to begin the transfer process elsewhere if you don't hear from USC before the UC withdrawal date, just in case. | |

| i currently have a 3.2 GPA after one year at a private university with more than 50 credits, but hopefully by the end of fall semester i'll have a 3.4ish.
i am premed and took a lot of hard science classes in which there was no grade inflation (not a good excuse i know).
seeing that the average acceptance/matriculation is 3.7, is it worth me applying? | |

it's just the average, it doesn't mean that it's the required minimum.
so, just give it a try and do your best on everything else since the GPA isn't something you'd be able to immediately "fix"
compensate with an excellent essay and perhaps some really good letters of recommendation? | |

| aaam90-- I think your best bet would be to call USC and see if they have any form of articulation with LMU. It's not listed on their website, but they may have something that could help you out. | |

| aaam90- I got in as a soph into Marshall and I know of a couple other people who did as well. I had a 4.0 and the other two people I know did as well, so take that for what it's worth. | |
