Sophomore SCA applicant, portal just updated - accepted spring 2018! Does anyone know if there is a facebook page?
so is today a wave for spring acceptances?
To what extent does your individual counselor play a role in your ultimate decision?
@osu2usc congrats! It will appear on your portal in a couple of days. The page is called “USC 2017 Transfer Admits (Official)”
@bettycrocker03 I will PM you something helpful
i guess the main reason i was rejected is that I got a D in one of my classes. I missed the final due to emergency and I explained in the application and it seems that the explanation didn’t help. But I can’t retake the class until next summer. So if I reapply next year, is it possible to update my grades after the summer grades come out to let them make a decision? Also I am having a bad time in my current college this semester and mental issues directly impacted my academic performance. So if I study abroad next semester and have good grades in that college, will that help my application somehow? I will be a junior next year but I really don’t want to spend the rest of college life at my current institution…
@Viterbi admits, We don’t need to take the math placement exams right? It would be stupid to try and place Calc after finishing all the math lol
@dvalenc7 How much influence does your counselor have on your admission decision
@itslife123 nah if you’ve completed calc you don’t need to take it
Should I wait till my spring finals are over to send in an appeal letter? I have other “compelling information” besides my grades, but I feel confident that I will A’s all my classes this semester and don’t want to wait too long.
@osu2usc Congrats!!! There is a USC 2018 Spring Admits (Official) page as well.
I’m going to burn my mailbox tomorrow when my rejection letter gets here bye
@dvalenc7 lol can you pm me too, was wondering th same thing.
I was in a good mood until I looked at my STARS report. :-w I don’t have my TCR yet so we’ll see how this goes. #IDidn’tSufferThroughC++ForNothing
Edit: Nvm still mad lol
not to be a jerk but y’all know this is a discussion thread and not a stats thread right?
@lurkingtrojan84 lmao who here posted stats?
@InTheNightSky95 give it a little bit to update, there was stuff incorrect/missing on mine as well but when I checked the next day everything was corrected
@InTheNightSky95 Hah, I took three C++ courses and not even the most advanced one knocked out USC’s intro course. At UCLA though, I would have been done with two courses. USC’s intro course was substantially more difficult than any of my previous C++ courses though. I started out with an A on the written midterm and then it was all downhill from there :-/
@lurkingtrojan84 who’s posting stats? I don’t see anything, not recent at least. People will talk about stats on here to get an opinion on whether or not they still have a shot at getting in, because the stats thread is only for those with a final decision
@Skepta quite a few people who got recently rejected (the stats thread is not exclusive to SGR or acceptances so they can post there) or were accepted in the past few months have posted their stats in this thread.
@lurkingtrojan84 oh ok, well I think some people were posting to get an idea of whether they should appeal or not. There won’t be many people posting their rejections on the stats thread though… even though it’s good to have the info for future applicants, it’s totally understandable.
