<p>I just got spring grade requested. If they spring grade request you and suppose you get a 4.0, would you be considered in the clear? </p>
<p>It seems like everyone who got SGR’d so far have 4.0’s. I only have a 3.8 :(. I wonder if they have different requirements for university vs. CC students.</p>
<p>Let’s make sure we mention how many transfer units we’ve completed to help give some “context” to our GPAs. That way we can get a better grasp on the current trend.</p>
<p>@uscindian No, people have received SGR with a 4.0 GPA during their spring quarter/semester and still got rejected. I would say try your best to obtain all A’s because it’ll definitely help rather than hurt your chances.</p>
<p>@uscindian how many units have you completed so far and what about your GEs?</p>
<p>Sorry to ask again, but I’m curious, do any of you know when they stop sending out SRGs?</p>
<p>I’ll have completed 60 units by the end of Spring.</p>
<p>Do you believe USC weighs the fact that one is transferring from a 4-year university when considering GPA? </p>
<p>@HopeForMarshall I went to cal poly Pomona last year and completed about 26 units but they are on a quarter system. And this year I’m attending a local CC because I really wanted to go to USC. I completed 12 units in the fall this year and currently taking 9. I finished all my GEs and categories besides one which I am doing right now.</p>
<p>@VivaLaVida14 </p>
<p>Yes but usc is my 1st choice. How about u?</p>
<p>@romab93 of course they do.
@greengecko No one knows man. Apparently they’re starting to send out SGR but they probably still will do it approaching the June 3rd deadline.</p>
<p>@5nonnegotiables </p>
<p>Yeah, if I was lucky enough to get in I would most likely choose USC. It would all come down to financial aid though.</p>
<p>The best of luck to you then!</p>
<p>So, are SGRs considered a good thing or bad thing? I’m trying to be optimistic thinking “at least they haven’t flat out rejected me” </p>
<p>@spiffyb0i I hope so because keeping a higher GPA in my university is difficult but I managed to keep the highest that I can so hopefully they have that in consideration when comparing another student with a higher GPA but from a CC </p>
<p>Thinking more closely it is actually quite easy to see how someone with a 4.0 can be rejected by usc. 1st of all you may have a 4.0…but how many units did you actually complete? Did you only complete 28 units? thats not much and seeing how you are under 30 units your high school transcript will play a pretty big role in regards to you being admitted or not. And lets face it, somebody with a 4.0 who has only 25-35 units under their belt isn’t as competitive as say someone who has a 3.5-4.0 with 60+ units under their belt. The more classes you take, the harder it is to keep that perfect gpa. That is why you see ppl with 3.2-3.4 who have 60+ units done get accepted at USC as well. It could also depend on which specific college you apply to within usc. That is just my quick logical rundown…just because you have a 4.0 doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in (this isn’t the UC’s which are mainly statistical based) which is why i love USC. But i may not even get in, so basically best of luck to everyone here and most importantly…Fight On! </p>
<p>@romab93 Yes, I was wondering the same question. I go to UC Davis and I am taking Bio classes which are extremely tough. So if compared to a CC, Im guessing that it would be harder to have a 4.0 here. I’m sure USC knows that and reviews 4-year transcripts differently.</p>
<p>@anyabel-- I’m also applying from UC Davis! What did you apply for and what are your stats?</p>
<p>@182Drummer182 did you go to CC or 4 year uni?</p>
<p>@bballprofessor23 I applied for Environmental Science and Health (B of S)
I have all As except for one Bio grade which caused my GPA to go down a little from a 4.0
You?</p>
<p>@anyabel Yes, USC does take into consideration that you’re transferring from a 4-year and that since you’re in specific classes (like Bio), your courses are more competitive and you have a curve.</p>
