USC 2010 Transfer Thread - Page 3

Future Trojans! (Hopefully :])

I have a feeling that we'll all be on this board a lot, so we might as well get to know each other.

So, I guess I'll start us off:

I'm planning to apply as an English major and eventually minor in Writing for the Screen/Television. So far I have a 4.0 GPA and I plan to have all the GE's done by Spring 2010. Anybody know if there are specific pre-reqs for English majors?

Congrats to everyone that has been accepted for Fall 2009/Spring 2010!

I've been monitoring the USC Transfer 2009 thread closely and I am hoping that in a year I will be in the same position as many others on this board. I will be a freshman at my local CC this Fall and I have USC (Marshall/Leventhal) at the top of my list for transfer schools.

MartinSMC: I am planning on being a business major, so I am not familiar with the pre-reqs for an English major, but here is a link for the Articulation Agreement from USC. Just choose your area/school and that way you can see how your classes will transfer to SC.

Hey everyone who have been following this thread, I would like to just introduce myself. My name is Kevin Wang and I am going to be a Junior this fall at University California Riverside and I'm applying in Fall 2010 as a business major to Marshall. I currently have a 3.87 cumulative and have completed business calc, macro econ, and have yet to complete micro econ as well as the English requirement which I will be completing next quarter.

I have already submitted my PART I application to USC and waiting for Part II to become available, which does anyone know when that time will be? Thanks in Advance.

I hope we can become great trojan bonding buddies and help pull each other through this long and arduous application process. I wish you all the best of luck!

Hey Spin03, when you complete PART I of the application it says that accounting is only available to incoming freshman because of the extra load of accounting classes you have to take in your very 1st year, so if you're still interested into accounting @ USC you might want to call them and make sure you can still apply as a sophomore.

I'd be glad to help you if I can, my sister is an accountant at Ernest and Young (#2 of the Big 4 Companies in accounting) and I can help answer you some questions.

Oh I answered my question in my first post here

Transfer Students - USC Undergraduate Admission

You can find a bulleted step by step of transferring applications and what not here, it's really helpful if you are new and a bit cluelesss. It'll get you started on some very basic info.

tbibbs · 07-23-2009, 02:53 AM

hey kev
in the confirmation email it says part II will come out mid july but online it says august 1st, either way some time soon so no big deal

Spin03 · 07-23-2009, 06:13 PM

xdzzzrawr:

Thanks for your input and offering of advice. Nobody can transfer directly into Leventhal. You must either complete Accounting 1 and Accounting 2 at USC before being eligible for admission to Leventhal OR take Accounting 1/2 before transferring to USC and then complete BUAD 305x at USC, which I believe is some type of abridged accounting course. By taking the latter path, you only need to spend 1 semester at USC before applying to Leventhal, rather than 2 semesters.

If you don't mind me asking, where did your sister go to school? Congrats to her for getting a job at such a prestigious organization.

Hey guys.. I am a business major as well so hopefully we'll all get in and have made some friends before we start! I have taken Macro, Micro, the English, acct 1, acct 2, and all of the GE requirements other than part I and II which I should have done by the end of the fall semester. Have any of you guys taken that business calc class yet? Im taking that next semester shouldn't be too bad... Where most of you guys from?

@NS89

Thanks for the encouragement man! I think if I bring my grades up I might have a slim chance but idk. I'd probably have to change my major since Marshall/Leventhal is too competitive. Sucks though, my gf has been going there since I was a senior and I'm still not there yet.

@ Spin03: My sister went to the same university as I attend now, University California Riverside (UCR), she worked very hard all four years and maintained a 3.89 and stood out of her peers. She joined accounting society (which is offered in many universities) and took extra classes so that she could take and earn her CPA license the first year while working (which she did).

@mxbile131 - I go to UCR and business calc was a bit rough for me, but I'm really not a math person, but I studied uber hard for that class and went to my TA's office hours and practiced countless hours of calc problems and pulled my grade from a C+ before the final to a B+ after the final. If you're pretty competent at Algebra 2 or Math Analysis, it should be a bit of a breeze for you. Then again you took accounting 1 and 2 which are much harder than business calc, but good luck hope this helps!

skyline12,
its kind of funny my gf will be going to usc too this year but we will both be freshman except im here stuck at a jc. the good thing is im taking all the same classes as her in the fall atleast and paying waaaaaaay less. the bad thing is she is there and i am here

itsmeehfi · 07-26-2009, 04:16 AM

I submitted Part I has well. I don't have high hopes of getting in, but I'll give it a shot. Does anyone know the stats. for transfer to the gerontology major? I looked on the USC website but nothing is listed.

tbibbs · 07-27-2009, 04:08 AM

itsmeehfi,

if u look at the transfer brochure it says last years gpa was a 3.65, but when i went to usc for my transfer meeting the lady told me this year was around a 3.7, which was for all of usc transfers im not sure about just the gerontology major...the transfer brochure is http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergr...ansferBk09.pdf on page 3
