<p>@oldschoolboy Based off the transfer threads that I have been scouring through, maintaining a GPA anywhere between 3.4 - perfect score is one aspect in USC’s review; however, they holistically look at every applicant. Therefore, I believe the essay portion of your application is very crucial to your acceptance as well. Everything you have accomplished, experienced, etc… should be stated on these essays to help them gauge whether or not you are a good fit at their college.</p>
