A similar crisis here-

Hello guys, its my first here on college confidential. I am an international undergraduate student interested in transferring to USC in Fall 2011.

Shedding some light on my college record-

I was initially enrolled at DePauw university for Fall 2009, but I had the worst college start there. I was enrolled in 4 classes (14 credits) namely Psy 100, Calculus 2, College writing 2 and American Islam (first year seminar). I failed in 3 of them and got a D in my seminar. I got academically suspended. I accept full responsibility for what happened.

I than moved to Linn Benton community college (LBCC) in Oregon and took 15 credits( SOC 204,GEOG 202 Physical Science 104 and CH 221). I ended up with a 3.9

For Spring 2010 semester I took 24 credits (Psy 201, Physics 201, WR 121, Political Science 204, Hist 201, SPN 101 and Religion 102). I ended with a 4.0.

I did my summer 2010 semester at Oregon State University, took 16 credits ( Math 252, Communication 111, ST 201, ECON 202 and a physical education class). I ended up with a 3.81.

I am doing my Fall 2010 semester LBCC and am registered for ANTH 103, ART 204, ECON 201,ENG 104,SPN 102 and MUS 108. The semester is going pretty smooth and am expecting a good result.

SAT-1800

I am not sure how the fact that I go to an out-of-state community college will affect my transfer application. If it helps in any way or makes my app any stronger I can transfer and do my winter and spring 2011 semester at Oregon State University (OSU). The only reason why I was holding off my plan to transfer for Fall 2010 is because I thought changing schools so many times will act in my disadvantage in the application process.

My intended major is Economics. I am not sure what kind of a chance I stand in getting into USC. But the dramatic change in my academic record is evident. Besides I re took all the classes I failed in and got A`s in all of them.

It would be great if you guys could let me what kind of chances I stand and also let suggest some suitable schools for me. I am already considering a couple of them.

Thanks
