@christinayaki As mentioned, if applying with under 30 units (which you will be at time you apply), your high school records are in play, particularly your test scores. USC is super competitive, but I get that you feel the school you are at may not be the best for you. Are there any other school’s that interest you in terms of tranferring? USC or bust is a risky plan, perhaps spend a little time researching other schools that may appeal to you…what is your academic interest area? Are you wanting a certain part of the country? Size of school? We may be able to suggest schools that have something you like/be a good fit in addition to USC.
