@rmcdunkins I respect those professors that do that. But at my cc, some profs are lenient towards the students and are trying to help them transfer out. The professors I had were hard, but he did not try to screw us over by putting in the hardest problem on the tests. He mainly added problems that tests our knowledge and concepts we learned in class, and how to apply it. 60 people seems to be a lot! I’ve only seen 40 people max for a calculus class at my cc. by the end of the semester, only 1/4 of the class are still here. Whether the class was easy or not, putting in the effort and studying made it really easy for me at least.
@pomeranian4rich Getting an A in both calc 1 and calc 2 is very impressive. I’m an engineer and I had to work my ass off for it. That being said, I see NOOOOOO reason for USC to reject you. My hope is high for you!
@itslife123 Thanks! That makes me feel better! I also had to work my ass off for it!
Thanks for the advice everyone,
@LACCryan she was actually very helpful and replied quickly, pretty much saying that I should use the articulation agreement to pick my courses (I have), I was more or less just looking for an opinion from anyone else on here as to which seems to be the more desired course, which isn’t really the type of answer I can get from my counselor. I’ll likely end up signing up for calc 2 since that’s basically by default a more rigorous course that is transferable.
@daRamz I’m interested in the music industry minor so I’ll likely take intro to music if I need a filler class, so thanks for the suggestion.
@daRamz I don’t think I plan on appealing. If my counselor doesn’t think my Calc grade is good enough, I doubt there’s anything I could try and say to change her mind. Maybe I could explain why my Cornell grades were lower than my grades at community college this year, but I’m sure they took the upward trajectory into account already and won’t care for excuses.
@daRamz Do you know how I would go about appealing? I don’t plan on it, but I’m just curious.
@izrobins tell your counselor your goldfish died and the only thing that will make u feel better is an acceptance letter
@xerxes96 that is the most useful piece of advice ever given. haha
@penntousc oh I see. Good luck with everything!
By the way, mad props to Viterbi and Marshall applicants, I am terrible at math. It’s your high GPA’s that allow students like me who have just below a 3.7 a chance to be admitted. Keep up the good work! haha
Has No one recieved a decision today?
It’s funny to look back on how in March, I keep checking the mailbox for a decision. Now we’re almost in July and still nothing.
I just joined this forum because I am super anxious to hear back. I have a 3.64 GPA applied for marshall.
I’ve been at community college for one year and have completed 44 units. I took one summer course and received an A (Accounting 1). First semester I got a 3.0. Act 2 (A), Precalc (D), microecon (B), english 1 (A), and geography (A)… I didn’t pass precalc because i never went but i did well on all the tests and then they decided to fail me (great). this semester i took 22 units with a 4.0 (business calculus, english 7, business law, geography lab, upper level psychology, intro to business, and world religions).
What do you guys think? I got a SGR but i am still waiting to hear back… My boyfriend got in last week with a 3.57 to marshall but he had over 90 units…
Also if i don’t get in do you guys know what the appeal process is?
I AM SO ANXIOUS I HOPE WE ALL GET IN, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG!
…Still waiting holy sheeeet youd think people would have a notice by now its about to be July and still a bunch of people waiting makes me wish i should have taken other offers than wait for this pile of doodoo.
@eoverland Not to sure we are technically last in “line” just seems to me the likelihood they accept people with lower gpa’s is looking good unless they have a bunch of people who decided not to enroll because of costs or some thing.
Are you waiting for Marshall as well? Why is it so late?! My boyfriend and I submitted our spring grades on the same exact day 
@eoverland Well sort of went the undeclared route and well made clear Price was what I was leaning towards but yeah when did you turn in your spring grades mine got in like the 9th but took a few days before the thing cleared in the required documents in the yousc thing
Just out of curiosity, how is it possible that lots of these sophomore transfer applicants already have 40+ units/credits? With the way my CC has courses set up, I’ll be taking 5 courses this fall (including Calc 1 and Acct 1) and will only have 17 credits, and the same is for the spring (Calc 2, Acct 2)… Note that I’m taking GE and comp courses as well, no typical electives. Is it simply that other CC’s award more credits for their offered courses? Or that most applicants on here load up on summer courses? I’m just curious to know, so it’d be great if someone could shed some light on that. Thanks.
Yea my thing was like 3.79 gpa and if I calculated it right around a 3.8 or 3.9 “transfer gpa” not sure how they do that but kinda have around maybe 33 to 40 something units alot of GE and so on
@penntousc well I couldnt do much around the whole completing courses that transfer towards my major so i did quite a few GE’s that do transfer those add up pretty quick depending if you by the new or the old articulation agreement
Seems like a lot of marshall applicants are waiting like i am. @eoverland that’s very impressive that you’re achieved a 4.0gpa spring semester. That’s a positive trend to your application. I’m in the same situation like you. 3.8gpa total, 3.6gpa fall and 4.0gpa spring. Like I said before, the long reason for waiting could be that they’re waiting for other admitted applicants to submit their intent to register, so they can admitted an approximate amount of students. If they were all to admit us at the same time, they might not have enough spaces to accommodate all the applicants(if the number of applicants submitting their sir is higher than what they predicted). Hence, they would lose profit if they were to take in more applicants exceeding their capacity.
I took a crap ton of units. one class during summer (4) 5 classes fall (18) and 7 classes spring (22) adds up to 44.
All the credit values are the same for the most part between CCs
