Official USC 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>M1ss, I’m sure there have to be a sea of rejections… Just not on here</p>

<p>STARS - DEGREE PROGRESS REPORT
BACHELOR OF ARTS
COMMUNICATION</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>OMG.
GUYS.
Does this mean…???</p>

<p>Tomred, you’re A’berg too, right? Let’s hope for the best. Gulp. Congrats to all getting in!</p>

<p>m1ssmare… I saw that one person got into Annenberg as Public Relations. I think another person got the greenlight. I imagine tomred will also get in.</p>

<p>My next move will be predicated on the financial package and transcript evaluation. My gut feeling is if they put me in Dornsife, even though I did not indicate any major outside Annenberg, it suggests that they liked me as a candidate even though they did not have a spot for me. So that makes me feel like I was on the bubble for Annenberg, and that makes me more optimistic that I could give it another shot with a semester at USC under my belt. </p>

<p>Because - quite frankly - if I can be on the bubble without knowing anyone at USC, then I feel confident that if I have months to work on my networking inside USC, bolstering my transcript and polishing my ECs, then I could finally craft a successful Annenberg application.</p>

<p>And now we have a third confirmed Annenberg student! Congrats to chachaa!</p>

<p>Thanks Randomnewguy and congrats again on getting in.What major were you going for and which one were you picked for in Dornsife?</p>

<p>@m1ss, no I’m dornsife, I thought about applying to Annenberg, but knew my best bet would be dornsife…
I hope to be chilling with RandomNewGuy at dornsife talking about Kiffin in the fall.</p>

<p>I applied only for Print and Digital Journalism or Communication. I didn’t get either. I didn’t indicate any other choice, so USC stuck me in Dornsife as Undeclared and has asked me to take the offer as a sign that really like me to pursue my undergrad as a Trojan even though “competition for your first-choice program has been exceptionally keen.”</p>

<p>It’s way better than a rejection, I guess. And it doesn’t close the door completely on Annenberg: “However, if you wish, you may also contact the department of your first-choice major to explore the possibility of entry into that program.”</p>

<p>I guess if they thought I was good-for-nothin’ they would have just rejected me outright. I will take it as a win, of sorts.</p>

<p>@tomred… What major would you pursue? I’m curious, because I’m looking at the list of majors to decide if I want to be a bit more flexible.</p>

<p>(I’m not completely sold on Communications - as I applied to other colleges indicating other, more interdisciplinary majors)</p>

<p>@random, well I’m a pre-law student so I would most likely go with poli science, sociology, or maybe even history… I really want to major in one of those and then minor in something else…</p>

<p>I was contemplating a move to political science, but then I realized that I like people too much to pursue anything political. I could also see myself being successful within International Relations.</p>

<p>Maybe I should just pursue a major that would result in a lifetime of underemployment, maybe something like ART HISTORY?</p>

<p>Hello! I received an sgr in April! Sent in my grades first week of may and still haven’t heard back! I applied to dornsife for art history :frowning: any other she’s have yet to hear back? Is this bad? And I can’t log into oasis!</p>

<p>LOL to the comment above… Awkward. Applied so I could get into dornsife…hopefully with something that would be fairly easy like art history! HAHAH</p>

<p>Haha, I really didn’t mean to frame that comment as a personal insult. For what it’s worth, I enjoyed the two semesters of art history I have taken at my two-year college. Now I can tell the difference between doric and ionic columns!</p>

<p>I mean, before that, I was just a filthy plebeian.</p>

<p>@random lol… Yeah international relations is also a really great one to ponder… I just wish I knew where I was gonna be in a few months lol. All of you non SGR acceptances are lucky…</p>

<p>Are the other accepted applicants able to see their transcript evaluations already? Also, what is the lag time between decisions and financial aid?</p>

<p>Annenberg here. Haven’t heard a thing.</p>

<p>Thanks guys (: My USConnect hasn’t updated though, so I’m going to brace myself until I get official word. Bit relieved nonetheless because I didn’t do as well as I hoped this spring semester.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone else still waiting! I know you’ll hear soon… it’s just a terrible waiting game.</p>

<p>@iloveasianguys @uscgirlclassof15, Someone tell me how many transfers applied this year?? Does it say a number in your letters?</p>

<p>Hey guys, those of you that got in and those of you that didn’t where are you located? Also has anyone heard anything being an animation major?</p>
