How long does a transfer decision take?

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>As the title says, I was just wondering if you knew how long a transfer admission decision takes? I plan on having all my materials in by the end of the month. Thanks.</p>

<p>It depends on which college you are applying to… List them and we’ll take a look ;)</p>

<p>I’m applying to USC, Pomona, Claremont Mckenna, JHU, and CU boulder. The sites say May first for the most part, but I was wondering if that’s correct because I’ve heard that it can take only a month sometimes. Thanks</p>

<p>For USC, you will receive either a decision or a request for Spring grades by June 1st, 2011. Some applicants who receive Spring grade requests do not receive their decisions until mid-July. (The May 1st date is for Freshman decisions.)

<p>I had a question for you since it looks like you know alot about USC.</p>

<p>My biggest fear is not getting rejected. It is getting accepted and then having them take back my acceptance because of spring grades.</p>

<p>I am currently attending Santa Monica College.</p>

<p>What i heard: USC requests spring grades if a student in currently taking a key class like calculus or is in the border line of relatively low G.P.A and a understadable G.P.A.(depends on major)</p>

<p>I completed every major requirement for business with an “A” already. My G.P.A is 3.73(worked half to full-time since i started college) but like many school I heard USC has many conditions for acceptance.</p>

<p>If i get accepted, they will probably not ask for my spring grades but they will eventually get them because all students have to eventually send them and update thier transcripts . Thus they will see my grades.</p>

<p>I have heard that they require an AVERAGE SEMESTER G.P.A OF ATLEAST 3.5. during this spring semester as a condition of acceptance. I can see how maybe not allowing my cumulative g.p.a to fall below that would be a must but the semester g.p.a seems kinda unfair.</p>

<p>I am taking 4 classes, three of which I know I will get an A in and one of which I might get a C in.</p>

<p>These grades have a semester average of 3.38.</p>

<p>I have had straight A’s four out of the five semester already completed at smc and it would seem unfair to not get accepted after seeing one C in the middle of 3 A’s… Especially because its Geography and has nothing to do with my major.</p>

<p>Do you know anything about conditions after acceptance into USC?</p>
