<p>@hepburn95 I am currently a freshman who is trying to transfer in as a sophomore. I am a computer science major with a 3.7 GPA at a 4 year university. Don’t worry about the rapid questions. I’d be just as spazzy too haha.</p>
<p>@scahopeful I didn’t get an official email, however I have a friend who did get a SGR and did receive the email, but I don’t know what it says. For both of us, it lists our university transcripts as required materials on USConnect, even though it says they received our university transcripts under received documents.</p>
<p>Is your last name in the beginning of the alphabet? I’m trying to find some patterns here lol. Or maybe it could just be because you are a viterbi applicant…</p>
<p>So quarter system schools need to send their winter grades/last quarter grades in now? What about semester schools? I don’t think semesters need to do the mid term grades, right?</p>
<p>@lkm291 I just got off the phone with an admissions rep at USC. No, you do not need to send your winter quarter grades unless USC asks you too. I never received any emails about sending them in, but did anyways last week. My gpa dropped a bit because I received a B in one of my courses…not cool. But you only have to send them in if USC sends you an email to do so. </p>
<p>@hepburn95 Thanks for the jab at my competence, but I go to a semester school, and during no part of the application process was I told to send in my Winter Grades, seeing as I was still in the middle of the 6 week Winter session at my school at the time of sending off my application. I don’t know where you get your definition of equivalency, but I don’t see how a semester student forgetting to send in grades for completed Fall courses (how is this even possible if you send in your transcript?), is interchangeable with me not sending in grades I did not have access to until 4 weeks after the application deadline. No heat intended, but also no need for the condescension. This thread is at least meant to be for moral support if nothing else.</p>
<p>The logical assumption I made would be that they would request my Winter grades alongside my Spring grades, seeing as they’re listed under the same “courses in progress” section on the common app. Besides, I’ve spoken to people who’ve taken winter classes and applied to USC, and have not gotten this e-mail.</p>
<p>@Spiffyb0i We’re in this together man. I don’t like the whole upward downward trend thing. This entire process is so unforgiving, getting a B feels like the end of the world.</p>
<p>I wonder if Marshall/SCA is going closer to the end then. According to last year’s thread, Marshall was first (with Dornsife) while SCA was nearly last (with Annenberg & Viterbi).</p>
<p>Part of me is terrified out of my mind the other part is completely calm. This is a weird feeling.</p>
<p>@epicer Nope. This is my first actual year as a full time college student. I graduated high school last year but had been taking various college courses throughout my time in HS. I read last year’s thread a few months ago which showed that Marshall received decisions first. </p>
<p>And as much as I want to get in to SCA, I understand that there is a limited amount of space available. I know there is a very real possibility that I won’t get in so I have about 45 different backup plans (god forbid I have to use them though) lol.</p>
<p>@scahopeful Well if anything, I admire your ambition to apply there knowing your chances. I was going to apply to NYU Stern and Cornell AEM this year (as a Freshman), but I knew my chances were disproportionately slim, and I didn’t want to deal with the morale deficit from being 99.5% rejected.</p>
<p>Have you considered transferring into Dornsife or Roski and then positioning yourself for an internal transfer? Maybe that’s already one of your 45 backups haha. I’ve read that the animation school takes in at least several students a year from Roski.</p>
<p>I made a post on this already, but someone told me I should post it here;</p>
<p>I applied into Marshall as a Fall 2014 transfer student</p>
<p>I decided to take a Intermediate Accounting class for the spring quarter, knowing that I would have to retake it as it won’t transfer, just to not fall behind in my accounting skills.</p>
<p>After a week of class I feel that it would not be a class I would want to take twice and would rather just focus on finishing my G.Es for my last quarter at community college</p>
<p>It was probably a bad idea to decide to take the class in the first place, but was wondering if it would be alright if I dropped the class since it was not a required class.
And if I need to notify anyone at USC, how do I go about doing that?</p>
<p>@Klausdaimler I would first find out if Intermediate Accounting from your CC is transferable to USC. I would have to say that it would not since only Financial and Managerial Accounting from my CC would transfer for credit. If it is not transferable, then it shouldn’t matter. What might matter: if you were to drop it, would you be considered less than a full time student for this quarter? USC admissions does say that they take into consideration college attendance patterns and being less than full time for a term might (or might not) affect you. I know for sure that the student clearinghouse records will state if you were a full-time student or part-time student - I know that they check clearinghouse records because they sent me an email a few weeks ago asking for transcripts from a military school that I did not know was even considered an actual “College.”</p>
<p>@epicer @Jazz49 As for Winter grades, I know that I also took a Winter session that ended after the deadline and sent my transcripts before they asked me. Even though we might be on a semester system, I know USC really looks at the planned courses you indicated on the CommonApp and matches them against the records that the student clearinghouse has. If we indicated on the application that we planned to take a course for the Winter or we registered for a winter course at a CC, USC WILL KNOW AND ASK FOR THE TRANSCRIPT - even if mentioned in the application that the winter course was a part of the 14’ Spring semester. If you read my post above, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING about your attendance patterns - What schools we enrolled in, when the terms started and ended, rate of pursuit, good standing or not, etc. (The only thing they cannot see is our grades - we must send those transcripts for that).</p>
<p>Hi guys, does anyone know if it matters if we submit a required material really late or not. I submitted my transcripts just yesterday…so i was wondering if usc will still review my application</p>
