Official USC 2015 Transfer Thread

Yes but USC discourages it.

@HenryClay1832 Awesome, congrats! I think i remember you and your stats from awhile back :slight_smile: Hmm, I think it just takes about a week. Although with me, it took them a week just to tell me that I was missing something else :stuck_out_tongue: I’ve only ever gotten emails when I’m missing something. So all I can really say is that you keep checking and eventually it’ll be there :slight_smile:

@madlion21 I noticed you successfully appealed for transferring, could you let me know how you sent this to USC? on yousc or through physical letter?

@infinitely2014 Yes, email a one page letter to your regional counselor requesting that you be reconsidered for transfer acceptance. The most important part of your appeal is new and compelling information that wasn’t in your original application. I did not get a SGR although my grades had improved significantly and I also included a summer internship/job that wasn’t on my original application. I was accepted as a Spring admit which is okay at least I got in!
Good luck :slight_smile:

Just received my package today! Marshall for spring 2016! Fight on!

Portal updated with acceptance to Marshall Spring 2016 dated July 10th! Impatiently waiting for that yellow packet now haha :smiley:

Still haven’t heard back! What is going on! Do you think since we have waited this long, it’s an in?? It seems like everyone right now is hearing back good news! I’m freaking out. Please help :slight_smile:

Congrats! Still haven’t heard back! Any idea why? Since they have held out for so long do you think maybe I got in, or is it not a guarantee? So confused! Please help!

@81Mamba Congrats! Still haven’t heard back! Any idea why? Since they have held out for so long do you think maybe I got in, or is it not a guarantee? So confused! Please help!

Been lurking here for months and today got my Ability To Benefit Verification. Talk about down to the wire. Has anyone gotten this and NOT been accepted? Still cant believe it.

This forum has been so helpful and has made the wait bearable. So much good info too. Thank you all.

@soccerboy619 at this point it looks like a positive thing. It seems like there are 3 possibilities for this long wait (totally an opinion). 1. They love your application, you’re in, but not enough room in fall so they’re waiting to see who dosent enroll to put you in that spot. 2. Your app was pretty good, they’re running out of spots, and are trying to fit you in spring. 3. The worst, they have run out of room and will be sending mass rejections.
I hope that helps. But you’ll get in:)

@hope2fighton I haven’t dealt with an ability to benefit verification, but still haven’t heard back? What do you think is gonna go on? SOOO nervous

@soccerboy619 Heck if I know. I was in your shoes until 1:30 EDT today. I kept telling myself until someone actually said “No” I had a chance. I wish the best for you.

@jch718 thanks so much for your positive note! It means so so much! I’ve been following your posts for a while and when I saw you got in, I was so stoked for you! I really hope its either option 1 or 2, because at this point, I’d kill someone to get into USC haha. But if it is option 3, so be it! But I’ve been seeing so many acceptances, that I’m getting hopefully, hopefully it’s not false hope! The minute I hear back, i’ll let you know. What comes first, packet or portal?

@hope2fighton I’m in PST! Congrats on your benefit note and thanks for the well wishes. I’ll update you all!

Congrats to all so far!

@soccerboy619 You should definitely receive your decision soon. “Mid July” is approaching in a couple of days so the wait won’t be that much longer! Wishing the best for ya! :slight_smile:

Anyone commuting to school? Looked at the carpool program and wonder how that is.

@madlion21 thanks for the info! just one more thing, how long did it take for your counselor to respond to you saying they received the appeal and how long did it take to get your decision? thanks in advance!

@soccerboy619 well thanks so much for the nice words. It means a lot! Personally, I received it by postal mail first, followed by my portal updating this morning. Keep staying positive! I think good news is coming your way in the next day or two! Best of luck to you! I’m looking forward to your “I got my letter post”!

@BeigeCardigan I think I might end up commuting. Although i’m trying to avoid it it seems like the best option right now…I live in the San Fernando Valley so it’s a pretty far drive. Where did you see the carpool program?
