Official USC 2014 Transfer Thread

<p>@bobo79 rejection? huh? I never applied. This is my first time applying. Last year I graduated high school so early that there was no way I could possibly live so far away on my own (I was too young to legally live on my own). To top it off, I had a series of unfortunate events occur simultaneously last year. So I made a conscious decision to hold off on applying yo 'SC until I learned how to deal with my strenuous circumstances.</p>

<p>So here I am now, awaiting my decision. Anyway, are there not tons more CCCer’s applying than students from other states thus explaining the transfer distribution?</p>

<p>So a CC’er from OOS would basically be a double whammy, huh…</p>

<p>I really hope not.</p>

<p>@Trojfan131 Not necessarily. Because they know that CC students need a 4-year home, an OOS CC applicant would probably be favored over an OOS 4-year applicant, assuming they have the same stats. </p>

<p>@Trojfan131
Who is more likely to enroll at USC. A transfer student in LA attending Santa Monica College or someone in Alabama? </p>

<p>I think the primary reason USC favors CA colleges is simply because those students are more likely to enroll after being accepted. It also might be because more people from CA simply apply to USC. </p>

<p>@scahopeful There probably are a lot more Cali CC applicants than there are OOS which explains the skew. </p>

<p>@hepburn95 That’s true, thanks for the response.</p>

<p>@bomerr I agree, and I do see that more in state transfer applicants would be accepted because more would be interested. I was just interested in what the numbers were in comparing OOS transfers, and how many came from four years vs community colleges.</p>

<p>58% CCC, 7% CA Privates, 11% CA 4 yr Publics, 23% OOS, 1% International. </p>

<p>1430 our of 2500 enroll. </p>

<p>Guys, I just realized something else reg. acceptance rate - </p>

<p>While what you guys are saying could be true - that they accept more in state transfers because those students are more interested - it could also be due to the volume of students that apply.</p>

<p>Lets say 50 in-state students apply and 100 OOS students apply. It only makes sense for more OOS students to apply, right? </p>

<p>These numbers are just made up by the way.</p>

<p>So, even if they are accepting 10 students both in state and OOS, the in-state transfer percentage would be: 10/50 = 20%.</p>

<p>The OOS percentage would be 10/100 = 10%. </p>

<p>So even if they accept the same number of students, because more students apply from OOS, it may look like they accept more from in-state.</p>

<p>Hopefully that makes sense. Now I’m not saying that they will take in exactly the same amount of students both in-state and OOS, but it could be that the in-state’s student’s chances aren’t that much greater. </p>

<p>I called USC FA today and the very nice girl on the phone slipped it to me that we won’t know until the first week of June… uhhhmmm… :expressionless: </p>

<p>@USC2014HOPEFUL </p>

<p>Great! Then many of us will have to pay a deposit to a UC as insurance incase we don’t get in to USC. Such a wonderful system this is.</p>

<p>^^Lol</p>

<p>What does everyone’s application status look like now…?</p>

<p>@USC2014HOPEFUL What exactly did she say? I’m just surprised because typically the people working in the FA office have nothing to do with the admissions office, so I feel like this could have been misinterpreted. </p>

<p>@scahopeful Mine says that they have received it and require no additional information. It has said that for a few weeks for me. </p>

<p>Guys, June 3rd is the last day they’ll send out admission decisions. Meaning you will know if you’re admitted or rejected by that day and no later. USC will begin to send out decisions in a month from now and will continue to up to June 3rd.</p>

<p>Also, I wish it helped to remind all of you to not spend much of your time worrying about this. You’re going to stress about it to some extent… But this being my second time applying, I can tell you that it’s much, much easier to go through this without being worried about whatever decision USC makes. Anyway. Just a thought.</p>

<p>Hey guys I’m new to this thread but do you guys think I have a chance of getting into Marshall?
Stats:
GPA:3.85
consistent upward trend( 3 B’s my second semester but all A’s from there on out)
good extracurriculars (VP of Marketing Club, among other things)
pretty good essays, but not gonna lie, they could have been better.
also I don’t have a letter of rec. will this affect my chances slightly?</p>

<p>Question. I just logged into usconnect for the first time today. It said that they were missing my college transcript. I thought we did not have to send it until after my current semester is over. I plan on sending my transcript ASAP. Does it have to be official or unofficial? Do you guys think this will affect my admission? I would really appreciate a response :)</p>

<p>@nickkwooddd You needed to send your fall grades, and they need to be official. Not sure how it will effect your admission, but if it does at all, it will be very minor.</p>

<p>@FutureTrojan2014 I think you have a good shot, you have a solid GPA. The lack of a rec letter shouldn’t hinder you, those can only help. Good luck! </p>

<p>@hepburn95 Thank you, I just sent them electronically rushed, so I am hoping they get there shortly. </p>

<p>Just checked USConnect and my Application Status box is gone, any one else care to check theirs?</p>

<p>I only get follow us on twitter, docs, and common app box.</p>

<p>Also I checked on their twitter feed and apparently the process to review transfer applications had already been going on as of March 24th. I don’t know for how long but they did answer that question.</p>

<p>@fdominguez My status box is also gone. </p>
