<p>wait but really… did anyone send in their midyear grades?</p>
<p>I didn’t have anybody review my application</p>
<p>Does anybody know what are the usual “conditions” when one receives an admit letter? I hear that it is usually a 3.5 in the current semester you are in. Is it different for everybody or generally the same?</p>
<p>@hopefultrojan9 I sent my mid year grades but I did it voluntarily. You aren’t required to send them</p>
<p>Thanks @lanbernas!! </p>
<p>I went to the transfer presentation at USC and the rep just glossed over the extension and didn’t say much. I think there weren’t enough applicants…</p>
<p>@anyabel I was thinking about going to one of those, do you think it was worth the time? Any valuable information or connections?</p>
<p>@HopeForMarshall That scares me. Where did you hear that from?</p>
<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I dropped a class during Winter after the drop deadline with a Permission code from UC Davis, because I realized that I had already passed out of the class via an AP Test. It shows as a WPD (Withdrawn w/ Permission Code) on my transcript. I only have one of these, should I submit an explanation to USC or does it not even matter?</p>
<p>Thank you!!!</p>
<p>@futureTrojan2014 I read it in another forum from a transfer student that got into USC from CCC. He said on his acceptance letter from USC there was a condition. The condition was that if he did not maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 in his current spring semester at the CC he was attending, his admission offer might be rescinded. The guy was worried because he was on the brink of receiving a poor grade in math - he had to ace his final or he wouldn’t make the minimum GPA. He did not say how he did on the final or if they rescinded the admission or not but he did end up a USC student. Occasionally, I hear people say the “conditions” are at least a 3.0 or B+/A- or maintain your current GPA.</p>
<p>I’m looking to see if anyone can confirm or deny that this is the usual case.</p>
<p>@bballprofessor23 I had a similar issue and USC did not ask for an explanation. They only asked to for another document. I submitted the document and I made a letter of explanation to go along with it - I submitted the letter as “additional information” on USconnect. I don’t think it would hurt. If I was on an admission board, I would want something from the student to help explain abnormalities. </p>
<p>@HopeForMarshall – What document did you submit along with the letter?</p>
<p>HopeForMarshall,
What you are referring to is a Conditional Acceptance. Every student is different and I don’t think it is done very often. They may be looking for a 3.5 GPA from one student and only a 3.2 from another. There are definitely pros and cons to a Conditional Acceptance. On the one hand if they have asked for an SGR and your school does not end until the middle of June at least you know of your acceptance earlier provided you deliver the requested GPA. Of course it is always better to have a flat out acceptance and the downside is that if you fall below that requested GPA you will have to do some serious explaining in order to be admitted. </p>
<p>When I transferred from my CC to my current institution, a university, my GPA was “reset”. Basically, I started fresh at my new institution while successfully being able to transfer 34 credits.</p>
<p>Is it the same case at USC? Will my GPA “reset” at USC if I successfully transfer? </p>
<p>@esai23 Indeed, it resets and will come back in the mix when you receive your bachelor degree.</p>
<p>@Trojfan131 - Oh cool! So, when you say “comes back in the mix” do you mean they average the GPA from all the institutions the student has attended with a formula based on the number of credits that were taken at each institution? </p>
<p>@esai23 Correct. Once you finish your undergraduate studies, all GPA’s will be averaged together in the manner that you suggested, just so you can have your full undergraduate GPA for job resumes and Grad School.</p>
<p>This is what I think… 
</p>
<p>Just think, our fate may have already been decided 
</p>
<p>@anyabel What did she say about it?</p>
