@UniCoIn Yes, even though I submitted my official winter transcripts they asked for my spring grades (SGR), because I have only been at school for one semester so far so they want my official spring grades when they’re ready
Oh okay I was just wondering why people would get grade requests since we had to submit our official transcripts and I wondered if it had anything to do with that.
ok so on USC admission IG, they posted a story of transfer acceptances. The person who was a USC transfer student said you’ll probably get your decision by end the of May to early June. Idk if that’s correct? 
@sagaciousforever Even though I sent my fall 2018 Calc 1 A grade and Spring 2019 Calc 2 A grade, I still might get an SGR. I am after all taking an entire year worth of work scrunched into one semester. That might make them nervous.
I made a deal with my professors to let me finish the classes by May 15, the last day I can appeal for Berkeley. This is so I can confirm that I am receiving all A’s in all 10 classes within my appeal statement. In addition, they promised to post the grades onto my transcript by that date, so that in case I do get an SGR, I can send my official final transcript much earlier than normal.
So things look pretty good to be honest 
@GoodAfternoonSir Nice! Hope you get into both UCB and USC so you have the freedom to choose.
My spring semester grades will come out this week and next week and I am planning to send them even if I don’t get an SGR. This will help USC to make decision faster if I am not in the big wave of acceptance this month (hopefully this month).
@sagaciousforever Hey but USC is looking more attractive day by day. They actually offer an accounting major which is also I believe #7 in the nation as ranked by USNews. My plan is to declare a double major in Business Admin and Accounting if I get into USC and complete my first semester there so I can “adjust” to the academic standards there and “test the waters” if you know what I mean.
If I do this, I’ll have declared Business Admin, ranked #10 in the nation by USNews, and Accounting, ranked #7 in the nation by USNews. Maybe I’ll also take economics as a minor? haha maybe I’m getting too ambitious 
@sagaciousforever dude you’re so lucky, how did you get your spring grades already? I go to a state university and we don’t even finish exams until May 22
@sostressed201 My school ends earlier, so most likely I will get all my spring grades by the end of this week.
@GoodAfternoonSir USC’s Business Administration is ranked #10 in the nation so that’s still very impressive.
Yes, USC is getting better and better every year. To be honest, if you are choosing to major in finance/business related fields for undergraduate, USC Marshall is better than UCLA’s Business Economics. UCLA’s Business Economics is too theoretical and focuses too much on economics theories rather than business applications.
Although UCLA’s learning vibes, food, campus are better than USC (my personal opinion), USC’s alumni network is stronger. At UCLA, you might just feel like that you are an insignificant number out of many others. Although in average students at UCLA are smarter and more hardworking than those from USC, I favor USC now a lot more.
UCB Haas is better than USC Marshall though.
Top 3 undergraduate business school according to US News:
- UPenn Wharton
- NYU Stern
- UCB Haas
@sagaciousforever Top 10 undergraduate business schools according to US News for 2019:
1: UPenn
2: MIT
2: UCB
4: UMichigan
5: NYU
6: Carnegie Mellon
6: University of Texas Austin
8: UNC Chapel Hill

Strange how multiple colleges are the same rank. Also number #3 and #7 and #9 is missing on the website lol
Does everybody have “Program of Study” under Eligibility Checks in FAST?
My daughter applied last year when she was in high school and was rejected , she applied again this year as sophomore, do you guys think the fact that she tried last year and didn’t get in hurts her or helps her? She has high stats both in HS and college
@waterMelonLLL I do not. I just have citizenship and satisfactory academic progress. Although Im 99 percent sure stuff on the FA portal isnt indicative of decisions
@Coopy1 She will get into USC
FACTS
@Coopy1 At most schools I would say it helps, but considering almost all of USC transfer applicants were rejected and are applying again, I think it maybe helps a tiny bit but not much
@GoodAfternoonSir thank you , I sure hope so
Anybody knows if “Program of Study” under Eligibility Checks means anything?
@Coopy1 I forgot to ask, is she a TTP applicant? If she is then she should be able to get in since you said she has great stats to be honest
@GoodAfternoonSir I think MIT is more well-known for its MBA. At the undergraduate level, NYU Stern should rank as the second.
But anyways, the level of education for top 10 are all very similar. No need to find out how is slightly better. It also depends on where (east/west coast) you want to work in the future.
@GoodAfternoonSir I mean I know people who came out of HS with a 4.0 and got rejected, and kept one through college and still got rejected, and its pretty common at USC for people to apply 2 or 3 times without admission so realistically it doesn’t have a track record of being insanely helpful
