<p>I am planning to transfer as a sophomore to USC in the fall 2010 academic year. However, the thing is I did not do so well in high school and I do not have enough units for my application to be solely based on my college transcript (btw I go to CSU Pomona, a 4 yr university that also has an articulation agreement with USC). But the thing is, my college GPA has drastically changed. Because of this, I was wondering if some of you guys would be able to kind of give me an interval of my chances of getting in this year. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>High school Unweighted GPA: 2.80
High school Weighted GPA: 3.32
SAT: 1850
College Freshman GPA (first quarter + transferrable courses only): 3.80
Grades: A, A, A-, A-, A-
Current College GPA (2nd quarter): 4.00 (straight A’s, all courses transferrable)
Extracurriculars: Eagle Scout (7 yrs of Boy Scouts), 10 yrs of playing the violin (played at weddings), black belt (7 years of taekwondo; also was instructor for red belt classes and received a bronze medal in the “forms” category and US Open Championship), President and Treasurer of Youth Council (for church) for one year each, three years of volunteering at a Soup Kitchen, and Army ROTC (currently participating in it right now at college).</p>
<p>Also, I was just wondering that because I am Korean-American, do I get any particular advantage in the admissions process because I am a minority? Thanks and I appreciate all your guys’ comments.</p>
