@CS2021Transfer : Son’s friend had a HS weighted GPA of around 4.2 to 4.3. I don’t know SAT/ACT. Applying from high school, he was wait listed at UC’s such as San Diego, Irvine, etc. He chose UCSC because that was the best UC in his mind. UC’s have gotten very competitive to get into the past few years. I don’t know how much the high school stuff played in the decision for USC transfers, but I am sure they were factored in the decision process because it is a one year transfer. For 2 year transfers (transfer as a junior), the high school records are less important and more importantly are the college grades. Both are thriving at USC. The friend changed major to business school. Son has not had a college grade lower than an A-.
