<p>im legacy n have not heard a word</p>
<p>@bubbletea94 ya you are right no one really knows, I’ll guess we have to see what happens</p>
<p>But I have a 3.7 now do you think that’s okay? do you know the stats to what people last year got in with? </p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>hey guys. i emailed USC about the question I had earlier. I pretty muched asked how many spots there were available for transfers who applied to the cs games major.</p>
<p>The person said that in reality, i am applying to the whole viterbi school, and not just one particular major. Once i get accepted into viterbi, i have acces to ALL the majors.</p>
<p>lastly, the person said “don’t expect to hear back before June 1.”
NOOOO!!! i was hoping for some time in may. guess they’re really behind</p>
<p>thats the worst news!! haha oh well i guess @heartybowl i cant believe theyre going to drag this wait until june…"(</p>
<p>@harry188 yes 3.7 is considered the average GPA for transfers. here’s what my admissions counselor said in an email: “The average admitted transfer student GPA is a 3.7. The higher your GPA, the stronger an application you present for transfer admission.”</p>
<p>@HeartyBowl noooooo 
did you email your specific counselor or just usc admissions in general? if it was just a general admissions person maybe that’s just a precautionary date…since I mean some people have already gotten SGRs. or maybe she/he meant no decision before june 1, but we may or may not hear back in the form of an SGR…</p>
<p>I messaged usc admissions in general, not my counselor. Look at the wording though. “don’t expect to hear back before June 1.” s/he didn’t say “expect to hear by June 1.”
those two phrases are completely different.</p>
<p>Hey guys i know this is off topic but I am curious about grade trends and if you think mine will significantly effect my chance of acceptance?</p>
<p>Quarter Cumulative
Fall 2011 3.667 3.667
Winter 2012 3.629 3.646
Spring 2012 3.891 3.719
Fall 2012 3.513 3.660
Winter 2013 3.523 3.632
Spring 2013 (In-Progress) </p>
<p>Also @bubbletea94 the 2013 USC transfer brochure states that the average tranfer GPA is a 3.6 not a 3.7.</p>
<p>@HeartyBowl I know, that’s why I suggested maybe s/he meant we may or may <em>not</em> hear back by SGR (but we definitely won’t hear a decision before june 1)</p>
<p>@Cschropp24 idk, just copying and pasting what my admissions counselor told me. either way harry188 is in the competitive range at least.</p>
<p>hey guys! i just joined the thread and it’s been really helpful! i was wondering… so no one has gotten an admission decision up to this point?</p>
<p>From USC twitter’s page, they said that all transfer applicants will be notify of their decision or a spring grade request by June 3rd.</p>
<p>SGRs suck. It means I won’t have an admission decision until mid-July -__-
I go to UCSC right now, and I applied to the Cinematic Arts school and the Annenberg School for Public Relations/ Digital Journalism. I would like to transfer because the film school at USC is extremely well funded and resourceful, therefore, would open a lot of doors for me in the field.</p>
<p>Hey guys, do you think there are any backdoor links this year? I heard there were some backdoor links that worked in Oasis.</p>
<p>@jojoyo</p>
<p>I, too, saw the backdoor links through Oasis in last year’s thread. I tried to log on a few days ago, and I do not have access. So, I am assuming as of now…no.
I hope we can eventually be sneak and get let in though :)</p>
<p>@ronaldot As bubbletea reiterated, I submitted my application on 01/20/2013.</p>
<p>@beachpony Considering that your GPA is much better than mine, I don’t think you should lose hope! There is still plenty of time to get a SGR or even be admitted right off the bat.</p>
<p>@alaintran9 I’m not a legacy.</p>
<p>I am not legacy.</p>
<p>A couple of years ago my d got a SG request about this time she heard she was accepted into the theater program around May 21st so not always a really long wait</p>
<p>I was looking through last year’s thread and everyone was raving about having 3 or 4 boxes. People were also talking about having April 4th status vs June 1st status. LOL. what do these even mean and how come they haven’t been mentioned in this thread?</p>
<p>I think April 4 is for freshman?</p>
<p>@catlover Thanks for sharing! Good to know that applicants who have to submit spring grades do not necessarily have to wait extra long. </p>
<p>I did see in last year’s transfer decisions that some applicants heard back in May after submitting their spring grades.</p>
<p>HeartyBowl- I went through this whole process last year. It got so crazy in here. XD</p>
<p>I dont remember all of the conspiracy theories but I believe there were 3 statuses (2 April ones and 1 June). It turned out that one of the April status’s meant you got in. </p>
<p>There was another thing about 3 boxes but I dont remember if that meant you got in or not. I got an SGR and didnt find out until mid-July. It was pretty much torture. haha</p>
