Did anyone successfully transfer from Viterbi to Marshall before?

So yipyip, do not fret ONE BIT.

It is EXPONENTIALLY EASIER to transfer into Marshall as an internal applicant as opposed to a transfer student from a junior college or a freshman, as I said earlier. All you need to think about is getting A’s in all your prereqs (or as many A’s as possible) and get as close to a 4.0 as possible.

For internal transfers it seems it is very straightforward: they only look at your USC GPA and prereq grades, nothing less, nothing more.

And per your question of taking 1 or 2 GE classes: it would be best if you knocked out as many required non-business classes as possible. For me, this semester I’m taking the last 2 GE’s (Category 4 and 6) and Television Symposium and Econ 251, so if I get into Marshall (I’m trying to inernal transfer as well), all that I have left to take is Business courses and Writing 340.

But if you’re not going to be transferring into Marshall until NEXT fall (you can’t get in until all pre-reqs are complete or in progress) then you can take one now and one later, if you want. Just remember the key is to finish all your non-business-core classes (prereqs, GE classes) before you actually get into Marshall, so you can focus on the core courses and graduate ASAP.

Oh, and did I mention getting as close to a 4.0 as possible? :)

Post any questions you have; someone might be able to answer it for you. Good luck! And I hope to see you at Marshall too!
