Thank you all <3
I just wanted to mention two mitigating factors that I worried somewhat about for Marshall:
I got a W in Calculus 2. I never retook it. I had a 4 on AP Calc BC though and sent that in.
I did not take full-time credit in earnest until this past fall. Before that, except for the summer before, my Fall and Spring semesters were both under 12 credits. I took only one class my first Fall. I did sort of explain that in my essay and provided context.
Still no word on FA though 
@phoenix23 Congrats!
Did you receive your admission through your portal or mail first?
@phoenix23 just curious, were you admitted for fall or spring semester?
Thanks for the answers they’re very helpful!What gpa would you suggest I reach for?Also is sat important?
@xtx237 SAT won’t be evaluated if you have 30+ transferable credits by the end of your spring semester, and always shoot for a 4.0 but people have been accepted with a 3.6ish
@AtoTransfer Portal. No mail yet.
@cassidylynnn Fall!
@phoenix23 did you complete accounting 1&2, and Econ macro & micro? I also have a 4.0 and a good amount of GEs (7 I think), but I’m a first year student and decided to hopefully save the business classes for USC
@penntousc Accounting yes. Econ finishing in Spring but I also have AP credit for Macro and Micro, sort of pointless tho.
@phoenix23 okay, kinda figured you had with all those credits
@phoenix23 one more question, did you receive that mid-year grade request on your portal on Friday? It disappeared after a while, but almost all of us received it
@phoenix23 congratz!!! I’m starting to feel that out of state students really do have priority over California residents lmaooooooo. and im really surprised that an incoming sophomore heard back earlier than incoming juniors!!! XD
You must have really written a beautiful essay because they did ignored the calculus 2 you dropped with a W! (but they did accept your ap score of 4+ higher for credit so that helped you)
@pomeranian4rich seriously…lets care of our own first! lol
Anyone else have that mid-year grade report thing come back today?
@808guy I think it’s a glitch in the system that everyone had. I got one too and it disappeared an hour later.
You California residents have the UC schools as fallbacks… BELIEVE ME, out of state students need this more than you do lmao
@penntousc so true lmaooooo maybe that’s why out of states applicants are hearing back first. Hopefully I’ll get into ucla and it’ll be my backup (hope not)
@pomeranian4rich yeah that’d be a nice backup to have, I would love to go to a UC if not for USC but they’re insanely expensive for OOS students and offer no aid… also though, and I think I said this before, some OOS applicants are assigned to counselors that aren’t responsible for a region in California that produces a large volume of transfer applications, and so those counselors are able to move through their application reviews more efficiently, and the decisions are easier to make
I mean that could be completely wrong, but it seems pretty logical… at least I want it to since that’s the position I’m in lol
@pomeranian4rich Thanks! I think with my credits I will come in as a junior. The 50 credits does not include AP credits I have.
@penntousc No I did not.
UGH
