Official USC 2012 Transfer Thread

<p>^ You should be alright.</p>

<p>@redwings</p>

<p>Completed Calc I, Calc II, Financial Accounting I & II, Managerial Accounting, and GE areas I & III along with the Diversity requirement.</p>

<p>I’m currently a transfer student studying at a Community College in San Diego. I’m applying to USC school of Architecture and Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY) and was wondering what my chances were! Here’s a list of my classes from fall 2010 at the Community College to this semester:</p>

<p>Fall 2010:
ACCT 116A (financial accounting): B
BUSE 140 (business law): A
HUMA 101 (humanities): A
SPEE 103 (oral comm.): A</p>

<p>Spring 2011:
ARCH 170 (arch design): B
ENGL 101 (reading and comp): A
MATH 104 (trig): D
PHYS 100 (physics): B</p>

<p>Fall 2011:
ARCH 100 (arch drafting): W - withdrawal
ARCH 105 (intro to autocad): A
ARTF 150A (2D design): A
ENGL 205 (higher division engl, as required): A
MATH 104 (trig, retook it): C</p>

<p>I’m currently taking Sociology 101, Philosophy 101, history of Western Civilization, and Precalculus.</p>

<p>I’m trying to cram as many recommended courses as possible, but my Trig grade and the retake grade ruined everything for me. I’m horrible at math yet I do well with other courses. I have a 3.49 WITH academic renewal enforced, except USC doesn’t allow it. So say I have a 3.25-3.3 GPA. My portfolio isn’t OUT OF THIS WORLD, its around average to a bit above average (nothing gushing with talent everywhere, I’m not the natural artist kind of type). I completed 35 units (with academic renewal) and I’m an international student (from Kuwait). I really want to know what my chances are at getting in USC. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>

<p>Marshall junior transfer.
Math completed: Cal I, II &III; differential equation; taking linear algebra this sem - coz I want to minor in FM so I took more math courses than required.
Financial accounting completed; taking managerial accounting this sem
GE completed.</p>

<p>

Impressive. I was going to register for Diff equations this semester but I opted for the easy route. (I was in that Sr year high school mindset in where the last semester I didn’t want to be bothered haha). But anyways those math classes are pretty impressive. I give you credit for taking them.</p>

<p>hey you guys! im currently a freshman at a UC school and I really wanted to apply to get into USC for my sophomore year, but what are the chances of that? I am applying under a Gender Studies major. Also, what do they require? I am finishing up my application as we speak, but I have not gotten a recommendation from my college professor yet. I couldn’t find whether or not if they need recs at all in the requirements for students who are going under Dornsife…</p>

<p>Hey guys, Do we need to send in official score reports for SAT?!</p>

<p>@jeremey</p>

<p>Jeeze, that’s impressive haha. Looks like I’ll just have the minimum requirements done (once I complete calc).</p>

<p>Most of the classes I’m taking at CSUF don’t seem to match up with the GEs at USC. I kinda just discovered how much I want to go to UCS. I’m hoping I get in. I have a 3.74(hopefully that goes up when I get winter session grades) and a Great internship as well as some Volunteer stuff. I know my language classes will be accepted but not sure about the others. How are your chances if you come from a CSU? And also is 3.74 a competitive GPA?</p>

<p>Greetings everyone! I have been lurking behind this post for the past few days and have now finally made an account. I wish everyone the greatest success in their applications!</p>

<p>I am an international student and so the ‘School Forms’ section on the Common App doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, which of these are mandatory for SC submission? </p>

<p>I am planning on sending my equivalent of a high school transcript and my list of college courses as part of my application. I also have a letter of recommendation. Which is the best way of submitting this? Should I fax it to them or email it?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance :)</p>

<p>@SheSh18 </p>

<p>Hey, I am also an international student and so have a similar issue to yourself. Did they list any alternate means of sending your transcripts other than fax? Do you know if email will be acceptable?</p>

<p>Just want to see what you guys think my chances are. Unfortunately, a lot of the classes I took were to fill the IGETC for the UC’s, but at the beginning of this year, I decided I did NOT want to attend a UC. So quite a few of my courses do not fit the USC GE requirements. Some do though.</p>

<p>Applying to Marshall as a Junior.</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.8
College Units (Quarter System): 83 Units - I have one “W”, in a class completely unrelated to my major (Philosophy)</p>

<p>I know my GPA is above the average of applicants accepted, so I’m not so much worried about that. What I’m mainly worried about is the prereqs.</p>

<p>I noticed the only two prereqs are MATH 125 or MATH 118, and WRIT130 (but I’m also a bit confused here, cause I recall reading it says two English courses are required. Regardless, I’ve taken two English courses). I’m taking Calc this semester. I’m also currently taking Stats. I have not taken Accounting. Took it in high school though. Not sure if that could be transferred? Haha</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Also, on the USC website, it says:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’ve taken one English course which is equivalent to the WRIT 130, and another one which isn’t listed on the articulation agreement with my community college. The two courses are:</p>

<p>1) Composition and Reading
2) Reading, Writing, and Research (fullfills WRIT 130)</p>

<p>^ I think you’re in. </p>

<p>Btw, did the common app crash last year?</p>

<p>@red</p>

<p>Congratulations on getting in the Calc class. Way to show perseverance.</p>

<p>

I think USC only moved to the CA this year. I could be wrong though. But with anything, I would advise waiting until 11:59 PM to send it in. </p>

<p>I always tell this story of my friend who applied to Stanford freshman year. He waited until the last minute only to have the system crash. His application was submitted but a few minutes past the deadline. Come spring, he was waitlisted and I always joke around with him that if he would have submitted it on time, he would have been accepted.</p>

<p>@redwings532
I think not taking a college accounting course might hurt you.</p>

<p>Also, I’m also applying to Marshall with a W in philosophy! But your GPA is way better than mine D:</p>

<p>Marshall applicants:</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, what did you put for your second-choice major (after first-choice Bus Admin of course)? I’m about to submit the supplement and have second thoughts about leaving it blank.</p>

<p>Marshall Applicants: are any of you planning to go into Levanthal School of Accounting?</p>

<p>@kevin</p>

<p>I first selected International Relations (Global Business). I first attracted because you take courses in IR department but Marshall as well. However, I then changed it to Math/Econ. You can read about the IR Global Business Major below.</p>

<p>[IR</a> Global Business Major > School of International Relations > USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences](<a href=“http://dornsife.usc.edu/sir/global-business-major/]IR”>http://dornsife.usc.edu/sir/global-business-major/)</p>

<p>

Not here but I heard you can internally transfer once you have completed their prerequisites at USC. If I was interested in becoming a CPA I would seriously consider their program. I think Levanthal has a 4 + 1 program where you receive your BA in accounting as well as a Masters in accounting. Pretty cool.</p>

<p>Historically, have many people who have applied for sophomore enrollment been successfully admitted?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I might have to sign up for that come spring quarter.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>

<p>I put:</p>

<p>1) Business
2) Marketing
3) Econ</p>
