2016 - 2017 USC Transfer

Should I prepare an appeal? I’m already expecting the worst.

@mr.transfer Thanks~~
I received an A in the calc and English classes I’ve taken at my current school. But tbh, I’m not sure if they are transferrable because my counseler said that usc might not accept the business calc class from my school. (Should have looked into it more)

Appeals are hard. I only recall like one transfer getting their decision overturned and it happened really fast, so maybe USC even realized they made a bad call. I tried an appeal my first try at USC. Just to throw in more OASIS talk, my restrictions updated again after sending in my appeal, so it even changes for that :stuck_out_tongue: but still no STARS. I hear people say that you often need new information to appeal whereas I just tried to argue by saying “How could you reject me over one B after my SGR when my first choice major was undecided?” Didn’t work out :stuck_out_tongue:

When does… its Dornsife, yes, for chemistry? Release decisions?

@john6311 He got an A in all 3.

@DDreamL whats the name of the school he attended?

@quin97 yea a cc in oc. I’m done with all pre reqs also.

I got an email from USC asking me for more financial aid documents, sign?

Got my acceptance package yesterday. I did not see any electronic notification. buy YAY!!!

@calvinwong What part of the country do you live in and when was the package postmarked? Do you go to a private school or a CC?

@PDrake6 I go to a CC in SoCal.The date on the acceptance letter was 04/30.

Congratulations @calvinwong which cc do you go to? I go to IVC. What is your major and stats? I still haven’t heard anything yet. Nice to hear that CCC are hearing back.

@blueskies2day I can’t really imagine what are these kind of people’s intention. I would rather interpret their “not coming back” behaviour as a “I am admitted, so bye bye college confidential” kind of situation.

BTW, when you are admitted, the upper right corner will appear #IGOTINTOUSC even before you click into “ADMISSION DECISION”. And right below the Admission Decision button, there will be a button for you to pay your deposit.

@wtb2525 I go to SMC. Sociology major. I can give you the stats if you can PM me. It is kinda odd that the letter just showed up in my mailbox. Good luck!

Did I get a SGR? I clicked on required document and it showed " Transcript:(My college name)". I’ve already submitted my grades from fall. are they asking for spring? I thought it would be worded differently for SGR like:“Mid-term/Spring term Transcript:(College name)”

Accepted into Marshall Pre-business for junior standing. Post-marked May 4th. Guess that email asking for more financial aid documents was a good sign after all. When do we find out about aid & the transfer merit scholarship?

Stats of those of you who are interested:

School: OOS State School
Units Applied with: 47
Units in Progress: 19
College GPA: 3.87
SGR: None
EC’s: Few internships relevant to my major, started my own business, worked as a realtor, 2nd place in a finance competition, few part-time jobs.

Recs: Two from people who knew me really well

I wish everyone else the best of luck, FIGHT ON!

@IBProspect123, Have they sent you any information at all about scholarships? I haven’t received anything yet.

@IBProspect123 What was the financial aid email about? Last year, it was something called the “ability to benefit” or something along those lines that was the magic financial aid email to look for. People were usually accepted the next day, so it was indeed a nice email to get :slight_smile:

@weeanonymouse Me neither, hopefully we will soon. Have you received your financial aid if you are applying for it?
