<p>Thank you for the clarification. Here is the 2010 freshman profile for USC - the average unweighted GPA was 3.8 and the middle 50% of SAT scores was 2020 to 2230. <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1011/FreshmanProfile2010.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/1011/FreshmanProfile2010.pdf</a></p>
<p>USC was represented by 40 current and former students at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing [About</a> USC - Olympians - List of Trojans in the 2008 Summer Olympics](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/about/olympians/list.html]About”>http://www.usc.edu/about/olympians/list.html) , and they brought home 21 medals - many of them in swimming [A</a> Stellar Showing in Beijing](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/uscnews/stories/15542.html]A”>http://www.usc.edu/uscnews/stories/15542.html) , so to be a recruited swimmer at USC an athlete would need to have very high national rankings.</p>
<p>You might try posting on the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/990410-usc-2011-transfer-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/990410-usc-2011-transfer-thread.html</a> to get some thoughts on transfer admission. Most successful transfers to USC have a college GPA of 3.7 or above in more than 30 units. Be sure to check on the USC SCA website to see if your son’s program of interest accepts transfers [USC</a> School of Cinematic Arts - Prospective Students](<a href=“http://cinema.usc.edu/prospective/]USC”>USC Cinematic Arts | School Overview) , and for instructions on submitting portfolios and the deadlines.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
