has anybody not in TTP been accepted or rejected (not SGR)?
Hi everyone.
This is some info I have gathered from people who have gone to USC and know a bit about the transfer admissions process (specifically for Marshall). They really only care about your calculus class and english 2. The suggested ones will definitely help, though. Talking to some of the counselors at my CC (local), they all agreed that USC cares most about the calc. class for Marshall. Although getting an A or a B (they really want to see an A) in calc. will not guarantee you a spot, it definitely helps.
Side note: If you don’t hear back at all early on, don’t worry! I know people who got accepted or SGR all the way through the end of May last year.
@loveeeeeLA Thank you for sharing and you made a great point!
I mostly agree with you but USC’s lower division writing class can be taken at USC. I emailed my USC counselor last year and he affirmed me that if admitted I can take that lower division writing class at USC in order to graduate. I also have a friend got into USC Marshall last year without the lower-division English writing class. He is currently a junior.
Business Calculus, however, is an extremely important class that Marshall applicants have to take for admission. Taking Business Calculus before Spring will also significantly reduce your chance in getting an SGR. I took it in my freshman year and got an A. Hopefully, I will hear back soon.
What is the timeline for acceptances on Spring Admits? Just curious.
@sagaciousforever My comment was not directed towards you. It was just a general comment to ease the stress of other applicants.
@whereto2022 Most Spring admits hear in June and July. Most Fall admits hear in April and May.
Posting bold generalizations and information as 100% fact does not make it true. It creates mis-information and just stresses applicants, not a Trojan thing to do. Rely on info from those actually at USC or that have experience going through the process.
@tmsavage The info above is wrong. Spring admits can hear both early or later in the process. Fall admits can also hear at anytime in the process - April, May, June and July.
So those that don’t get news in April or May should NOT assume they are a spring admit as stated above. Very few transfers are admitted to spring. Some, but very few. “Most” does not apply at all here.
My friend got admitted for fall and heard back in June soo
@blueskies2day I don’t understand why you acted so offensive.
I came up with “Most Fall admits hear back in April and May” based on past years threads. I only said “most” for reasons. I did not say “all” so I was not trying to give him/her the wrong information. I am curious about why is it wrong saying that most Fall admits hear back in April and May? It is true that the later you hear back (late June/early July) the more likely that you will get in for Spring. Isn’t that true? I see very few people got into Fall when they heard back in Late June or July.
Again, I could have not replied to tmsavage 's question but I did because I cared about USC and this thread. Also, that is just my opinion and he/she can believe it or not.
@UniCoIn I said “most” instead of “all”. Please read the whole thing.
I was just trying be helpful in answering people’s questions based on the best of my ability. I love this community.
@sagaciousforever okay I wasn’t referring anything to you, I was just simply making a comment. I don’t care what you said
@sagaciousforever Just trying to keep it real. Have just been hoping there would be a realization of the statistically insignificant data being used to make bold (and incorrect) projections, but it’s not happening. 8,000+ people apply and about 2400 are accepted. The stats threads have less than 75 people posting, a lot are those posts are comments in the wrong place. So statistically, making bold projections based on the very few that post on stat thread or overall for a couple years, compared to the overall actual figures is misleading to everyone and can tank the usefulness of the thread. A brand new user comes on and reads “most hearing in June and July get in spring admission” and that poster spends the next several weeks freaking out when he hasn’t heard, and starts making other plans cause he thinks he isn’t gonna get admitted in the fall. All because the information he read is inaccurate.
The internet is not always right of course, people know that, but students come to cc hoping to get reliable information. If a poster does not really know the answers to questions, or is basing it on statistically insignificant data, it has to be called out because mis-information can change someone’s life. Of course, anyone can post whatever they want following the terms and conditions of course, but there are those that have been through this process, work within the system and/or have tracked it for years that try to put valid information out. It is tiring for those that actually know how things work to fix an inaccurate statement over and over again, so the risk is a thread just becomes a pile of misinformation.
@sbequ19 Mine was down earlier, but it isn’t anymore
@blueskies2day Thanks for you thoughtful response. I apologize for potentially making some applicants to stress in this thread. You are right that Fall and Spring admission can come anytime in April, May, June, and July.
Also, USC’s transfer admit rate was 24 percent last year. Last year, 2338 were offered admission out of 9673 applicants.
Sorry if this has been asked before but does USC do rolling transfer decisions or do they release decisions for everyone all on one day?
@90smix Rolling.
@90smix it’s pretty much rolling they just drop decisions whenever they don’t have an exact date but I know Dornsife applicants can find out any day up to May 31st
I got SGR, does that mean likely rejection if I don’t have a trojan transfer plan?
Got a spring grade request about 5pm today.
