<p>Hello everyone, </p>

<p>I’m extremely worried that I may not have a chance at attending USC in the fall 2010 because by the time I submit everything in February of 2010 to USC I will only have a 3.5… but what do you recommend for someone like me who has a fairly low G.P.A for USC?
***Problem!!- I have one D on my transcript, however my overall G.P.A is 3.5. I was thinking about taking an extra class in the winter at a local CC to bring up my GPA but by the time I get my grade for winter session the deadline to submit everything for USC will have passed already. </p>

<p>I have extra curricular activities: GrammyU Campus (Grammy University) Representative- Recording Academy for Cal State Northridge, Assistant Marketing Director for S.P.A.C.E (student production and campus entertainment) at CSUN and I’m on the Board of the Political Awareness Committee (CSUN) … aside from that I’m apart of the NSCS (National Society of Collegiate Scholars).</p>

<p>Please give me some feedback please… !!!</p>

<p>I applied with a 3.8 gpa with three semesters under my belt. after my acceptance, i found out i got a c from my chemistry class in community college. i ended up transferring with a 3.64 gpa. seriously. I think, no KNOW, it just goes to show how powerful GOD is. Who would have thought i would be able to transfer in with that GPA? But, I did. God’s grace and God’s power. Try applying. you never know where it will take you.</p>

<p>There are a lot of factors they take into account. Is the 3.5 coming from a CC or 4yr? Usually lower GPA applicants are accepted from 4yrs. Were your lower grades from your first semester? USC likes to see students with upward grade trends.</p>
