The way it is reported in the brochure:
2008 Transfer admission statistics
Applicants 8,300
Enrolled 1,500
Average transfer GPA 3.65
http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0910/USC_TransferBk09.pdf
makes it look as though the “Average Transfer GPA” refers to the 1,500 admitted applicants who actually enrolled. The higher GPA you have heard mentioned may have referred to all admitted transfer applicants - including those who chose to enroll elsewhere.
