<p>I know that’s confusing, but CS is a Viterbi major so you do still need to transfer to major in CS.</p>
<p>Also, psydent has brought up some good points and I’d like to jump back in too</p>
<p>For this process of transferring to Viterbi from another school at USC, there aren’t additional essays or letters or anything like that, and the process is the same for spring and fall admits but occurs at different times of course, and you do need to meet the GPA requirement.</p>
<p>Based on some some earlier posts, I am pretty sure the 3.0 is in overall GPA (including GE’s) and also engineering courses by themselves.</p>
<p>Finally, I also agree with psydent that it’s hard to say what the grade distribution is, but most classes are not graded on a curve and the engineering school is definitely collaborative rather than competitive. Students can and do get A’s in classes, just as they can and do get C’s, so it’s all about putting in effort and taking advantage of the resources available (professor and TA office hours, study sessions, tutoring, etc.)</p>
<p>At the end of the day, psydent and I are both just students, so I’m glad you’re also reaching out to Viterbi Admissions, and I hope you’ll post what you find out here so others can benefit.</p>
