2016 - 2017 USC Transfer

@mrajan97 and @topchoiceschool I’m sure you two are fine as long as you have correspondence with your counselor. That way they know it’s your school instead of thinking you’re blowing them off :). I wouldn’t be too worried

@irishrider I’m Marshall bus admin… Really hoping for tomorrow :confused:

Yeah same @eoverland this wait has been long

@Irishrider I am going to accept my other school if I don’t hear by 3 today. It’s been 5 weeks! USC is my dream school but I can’t just sit around waiting any longer!!

@Usctrojanhopeful Do you have to notify your other school by today? What other school did you apply too? I’m Marshall too :frowning:

Hello, I’ve been lurking for the past month or so (since I’ve turned in my SGR on June 1) and I’ve finally worked up the nerve to say hello. I have heard from some friends (3) who have turned in SGR and received admission within a week… This has me worrying. Is it really true that most of the people notified in July likely receive admission?

@tkj2323 welcome! hopefully we all get in to be honest. we will see… what is your major and stats?
@Usctrojanhopeful this is ridiculous and you could lose your shot with the other school.
@megan343 seems like a lot of marshall students are waiting still

I wish you the best @Usctrojanhopeful and I hope we all hear back today!

@tkj2323 What school did you apply to? It seems they roll out admissions by school and not by general admissions

UPDATE: I just got the “Ability to Benefit - Verification Required” Financial Aid notice

Do you only get that notice if you applied for financial aid or did you not apply for financial aid either? @Irishrider

@Irishrider you’re marshall right?
also do you have to click on financial aid to see that or how do you know?

@megan343 I’m not 100% sure as I did apply for financial aid, I’m not sure if you would receive it otherwise. You could check and see if you go into your portal --> check status of financial aid --> Eligibility Checks (should be a drop-down window). It would have a red triangle with an exclamation point in it

@eoverland I’m waiting on Viterbi, keep up hope for Marshall it will be soon. If you’re curious how I found it I explained it in this reply to megan343

Hey, nice to meet all of you guys! Here are my stats :

California CC - Applied to Dornsife - Political Science

3.65 GPA - For personal reasons, I couldn’t complete some of my courses in my first semester to my fullest capability. I got a 2.75 in my first semester (yikes). But have gotten straight A’s in the next 40 units.
54 Units completed. Including all GEs except for one anthropology lab.
SGR turned in on June 1 - 4.0 on 12 units.
Essay - 7.5 maybe 8/10 tbh - talked about my grandfather’s philanthropic work and how it had influenced me to work for law school.
Played 3 varsity sports in HS and captain in 2. Was first team all-county in football.
Volunteer at various homeless shelters (about 2 times a month), and attend a monthly volunteer trip to an orphanage in Tijuana.

I tried to call my counselor and the office is closed for the Fourth of July holiday and will reopen on Tuesday

@Irishrider wow! congrats! seems like everyone who gets this receives admission soon after. Keep us posted!

I feel like dornsife has already passed…? But wouldn’t they have sent me a rejection letter by now?

No I don’t think Dornsife is done @tkj2323

guys its dornsife not dornslife

Whew thank goodness.

Anyone else waiting for Dornsife?
