2016 - 2017 USC Transfer

I got a SGR on May 12, sent on ~May 18 and got acceptance letter from Marshall yesterday. Dated May 21. Good luck everyone!

@imgonnagetin congrats! do you mind sharing your stats? are you a sophomore or a junior?
did you received your letter in the mail or did you find out on your portal

@imgonnagetin Congarats!!!

@masechka1988 I actually start my first semester at CC this fall and I’m looking to transfer as a sophomore, I began looking at this thread and getting active so I could sort of be a sponge and take in as much information as possible so my transfer goes smoothly, so I’m not currently a student. I apologize for the misunderstanding though, I just figured with all the research I’ve done on transferring to USC I could help a few people out while learning more about the process.

@transfercool @bigstom
Have either of you heard from Price?

@pomeranian4rich I received it in the mail yesterday. My you.usc portal has already been updated. As I said, I got a SGR on May 12, sent it around May 18, and got my acceptance letter May 26, dated May 21. I live overseas and got the package through DHL.

Accepted Marshall - Business Administration
GPA: 4.0 - 63 units (All pre-reqs done)
ECs: Good
Essays: 6.5/10
International Student
Accepted: UCLA Biz Econ, USC Marshall (most likely going to UCLA)
Transferring from Pasadena City College as a Junior.

I got a request yesterday from financial aid to submit a parent asset form. Is this a sign that I’m getting in ? I haven’t heard anything from Marshall, no sgr…Nothing! Gap is 3.73. Transferring from ccc with 54 units

@masechka1988 I actually emailed my counselor again this morning asking about the EC’s to verify it, and she just replied saying:

"Hi Cory,

Extracurricular activities really do not play a factor in transfer admissions for us. You should be involved in the things you enjoy!

Best,
Brittany"

But again, it really could vary depending on the counselor

I just submitted my spring grades through the you.usc portal, should I also send it in by mail? If a 4.0 Spring semester doesn’t assure me admission, I am dropping out…

Well the waiting game officially begins :-S

@penntousc oh I see. Well, it’s not a big role for transferring but I guess it is a plus for you and your app anyways

@masechka1988 oh absolutely, and it’s hard to hold these counselor’s to their word considering they say every year that everyone hears by June 1st lol

@imgonnagetin ayeee go pcc! do you mind telling me what classes you took at pcc?

@imgonnagetin Any scholarships offered by USC with that GPA?

@masechka1988 Yeah, mid-July is definitely a possibility for people that get SGRs, but I think cctousc is referring to when last year, I received my decision on June 6th - 5 days after their June 1st deadline. I didn’t hear anything on June 1st, no SGR (I had ~100 units, so I didn’t really expect one), no acceptance, no rejection - nothing. When I called on June 3rd, suddenly the girl I spoke with said something like “Oh, June 1st is our goal, but by no means is it a set deadline to notify everyone of some type of decision, so just be patient” :stuck_out_tongue:

@nyuorusc It’s possible! Some people have been getting accepted very shortly after receiving a request for more info, but I don’t remember what the specific form is. Maybe some other applicants that noticed this can tell you :slight_smile:

Another day and nothing in the mail for my son. They’re cutting the June 1 deadline really close since Monday is a holiday.

@topchoiceschool No scholarships…

@NosyParent16 Same here. I’m getting pretty bummed about it.
I’m still hoping for good new soon, but at this point it’s hard not to think that I’ve possibly been rejected :frowning:
Good luck to your son, I really hope he hears good news soon! I’m cheering on everyone, USC is such a great school. I’m hoping a flood of acceptance posts will flow onto this thread real soon :slight_smile:

Anyone on TTP or knows someone on TTP who is still waiting?

Do lower GPA (3.2 to 3.5) Marshall applicants ever get admitted?
