2016 - 2017 USC Transfer

Congrats!! @frh777 did you find out on your portal?

Accepted - Dornsife/ English Major. for Fall 2016 - Received June 24
Spring Grade Request - Requested April 28 / Sent June 7

Decision Date & Time: June 24th, 2016 (Through mail; portal hasn’t updated yet)

Stats:
• College transferring from: Chapman University
• Entering as: Sophomore
• GPA: 3.83 (Fall: 3.75, Spring: 3.88)
• Units completed: 44
• HS: 1830 SAT, 3.75 GPA
Subjective:
• ECs listed on app: I do a lot of community service in Africa (over 10 years) and other exotic places around the world (Papua New Guinea, Borneo)
• Essays (subject and responses): Amazing. My common app essay focused on diversity and wanting to step out of my comfort zone. My other two smaller ones were about an experience at an orphanage in Botswana; the other one was about how I’m fascinated by creative writing
• Letters of Recommendation: 2 letters from my best professors (I finished with an A in both courses)
• Other schools applied to: none.
• Comments: I didn’t think I would’ve gotten in, but I spent my first year of college inside my dorm room working instead of partying and all that other stuff. I hope you guys all get into USC and I look forward to meeting you in the future. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

@frh777 how many GEs did you complete?

You received your letter really quick. Also, since your portal hasn’t updated yet what does your financial aid state? @frh777

@johnnyUSC Chapman doesn’t have an articulation agreement with USC so I won’t know until mid-July.

@John6311 there my bad. I didn’t apply for financial aid.

@frh777 so awesome man, congrats!!!

@frh777 Congrats!! Who’s your counselor?

I wonder if anyone has been rejected recently

@John6311 seriously, all but one person (a girl with a very low GPA and justifiably so due to extreme family events) have been accepted. And me, I’m still waiting watching the clock tick away hoping that with every new day is another chance to be surprised by a large package in the mail.

@Kraz4CocoPuffs Noel Viramontes

@LACCryan thanks man, I hope you get in!

I feel like my chances are decreasing day by day @LACCryan

Congrats to everyone and good luck to those who are waiting!!!
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns as I am a current USC transfer student. :slight_smile:

Do you live on or off campus? @mochibbycake

For those who turned in spring grades how long did you wait to get a decision

@daRamz 17 days

@frh777 Thanks, I hope so too! haha

@john6311 Tell me about it, this is grueling. :frowning:

A month now @daRamz

@frh777 congrats!!!

@LACCryan I feel like only one person has posted recently about getting accepted to Annenberg, I think there’s at least 2 or 3 of us still waiting on this thread!
