Official USC 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>@idea23. I did not get a SGR. I was on the Trojan Transfer Plan and had 18 units and a 4.0 Fall semester. All classes transferred to USC. I am finishing up with 1 B this semester so my overall will be 3.9 all transferable and with Writing and a number of GE’s.</p>

<p>Good Luck!! </p>

<p>Made the deposit today and it does say on the bottom that I must earn a 3.5 and no grade lower than a C this semester.</p>

<p>@jongranados, email your admission counselor at USC and inform them. I was in a similar situation and submitted a formal letter explaining what happened. My admission counselor made sure the letter I made was added to my file.</p>

<p>grierc93: what were your stats like? EC’s?</p>

<p>I called USC OT program. they havent made ANY admission decision AT ALL. they will be submitting their decisions hopefully this week & they said they only take about 2-3 transfer students for the BS-to-MA program for a graduating class of 10 :frowning: (that class of 10 includes applicants from the USC itself, incoming freshman applicants, transfer applicants) so basically our chances are little :frowning: sigh. so we should hear by june 1st I guess</p>

<p>Uh oh, this forum backfiring on me haha. It was making me feel better before but now that I’m seeing all the other schools the rest of you have gotten into besides USC I’m feeling lake a raging underachiever.</p>

<p>@jrenee</p>

<p>Yeah, I did that. Did they tell you how it would affect your decision?</p>

<p>If anything I think my artistic portfolio and ECs took more weight than my academia for NYU
I did a pretty trippy short film and my personal essay was about how I witnessed my dog getting euthanized in my living room.</p>

<p>How the heck did you get all of those opportunities?! Good stuff man</p>

<p>Do you have a link to your short ?</p>

<p>This is why I don’t to leave LA lol. I don’t mean to sound cocky but I’m pretty driven and tend to take opportunities when I see them hence my distraction with getting good grades in school. :-/

<p>Judging by my enrollment box on USConnect, looks like I was accepted today. I’m an electrical engineering and computer science double major and I was getting a little worried after hearing of other Viterbi acceptances awhile ago. Guess I should probably send in all my financial aid info now… I’ve been putting that off haha.</p>

<p>@Chelseanderby Just wondering, but did you get the financial aid email like last week?</p>

<p>I am getting bored with no classes and just waiting on hearing back lol
Fun to make theories.</p>

<p>Is it normal I haven’t received any news yet through snail mail or online? I have a 3.9 and I’m a Marshall applicant. When I logged on to Oasis today, it said my home address needed to be updated and I inputted it in so maybe it is that?</p>

<p>@rasd765 its been doing that (address change) to mine since the beginning of the month and no info yet as well</p>

<p>Where can you see when your Oasis has been updated?</p>

<p>grierc93:</p>

<p>that’s really cool dude
i’m sort of the same. I have a 3.45
but I have a decent amount of video related experience.
I’ve produced videos/commercials for a lot of small local company’s along with the active rideshop corporation. 3+ years
I’m a published photographer
I have work experience with FCP, Premiere Pro, After Effects
I’ve interned for small media companies
I’m sponsored by a camera accessory company</p>

<p>More recently I worked as an AE on the Music Video for Thirty Seconds to Mars’ new song “Up In The Air”. I’m supposed to work on their next video as well (but this happened after many of my apps were due)</p>

<p>I also work part time at a movie theater</p>

<p>I wish I would have applied to NYU.
I’m still waiting on BU and USC
I got rejected from UCLA and UT-Austin (i’m guessing because they dont look too deeply into portfolio/ec’s as compared to your academics)</p>

<p>Are spring grade requests likelihoods for acceptance or rejection?</p>

<p>Dude that’s awesome. Yeah I hope USC considers our artistic side over out academia. Then again I’ve overheard how USC likes to have high avg in gpa for entries.
Yeah I got denied from Ucla and Lmu (academia>artistic)
Accepted nyu and chapman</p>

<p>Just got back from USC, I went to check out the film school/tour the campus.
One of the administers was saying they do read college confidential and thinks its completely ridiculous when people ask to be chanced on here lol. </p>

<p>I wasn’t sure they actually read this, but they definitely do.</p>

<p>@marty212: I did get the financial aid email last week. I kinda ignored it because I figured I wouldn’t actually finish my financial aid application unless I got in. But I suppose getting that email could be an indicator of getting accepted though I’m not really sure at all. Good luck with your application!</p>
