<p>alarasus- I think the acceptance rates for transfers range from 25-30%? Not sure about UCLA tho</p>
<p>RadRedhead- I get that totally. I’m at a really good 4-year school too & I am working so hard just to get my 3.5! (which might not even happen… it might end up being 3.43 or something) so I just REALLY hope USC takes into account the kinds of GPAs given out from my school u kno?</p>
<p>I completely understand RadRedhead because I go to a 4 year and my regional counselor said that a 3.9 at a CC would outweigh a 3.8 from a 4 year. I was really upset about the fact but after some rationalization, I kind of understand the rationale. For those of whom are attending a 4 year institution are conceptually already receiving a “prime” education. Although it seems unfair on an individual level, for the greater purpose of increasing educational opportunities and educating the greater population, giving CCers precedence makes sense.</p>
<p>Ahhh utilitarianism.</p>
<p>yeah well the other parts on my app are pretty competitive with others and if you look at the transfer stats thread for last year some got in with a 3.1/3.3ish…
i remember seeing somewhere on here someone even got in with like a freakin 2.89…idk he must’ve had a good excuse for having such a ****ty gpa…perhaps he was out of school for a while after breaking his leg, trying to save terminally ill children from a burning building in darfur…</p>
<p>it took like 5 minutes to read the last 5 pages that i missed, but i love you guys. hahaha the stuff we talk about on this thread has kept me entertained since like july. :D</p>
<p>hahaha fatpanda!</p>
<p>it’s really cool that usc truly does take EVERYTHING into consideration. i know a lot of other colleges say the same thing but i highly doubt it.</p>
<p>and ya captain rodeo, that’s what i want to do as a part of the trojan family = WORLD PEACE. hahahaha</p>
<p>what will be the first thing you do when you find out you were admitted?</p>
<p>pop bottles =)</p>
<p>Cry. Laugh. Get some alcohol.</p>
<p>Tell my friends who’d be more happy about it than I probably will be haha.</p>
<p>hahaha uscplease</p>
<p>i’d imagine the drinking binge if we got rejected. 
unless of course you mean some partying. because i make some excellent drinks as a summer bartender :D</p>
<p>haha true that zirc, id probably get drunk either way, either out of happiness or wretched self pity.</p>
<p>haha. so basically zircushio, your plan is ironically the same whether or not you get in.</p>
<p>hahaha. seriously though, so would I… so would I.</p>
<p>radredhead… it depends on which counselor you talk to… i was told that they put your gpa in the context of your university and what not… and so with me taking ‘rigorous’ engineering courses in an esteemed program definitely helps</p>
<p>i would like to add that i also have red hair… which makes us awesome</p>
<p>Gingers!!!</p>
<p>Sorry, I guess I can get away with that because my sister is a red head.</p>
<p>haha i dont mind</p>
