<p>Will it decrease my chances if I apply undeclared as a junior transfer? I mean, I put sppd as first choice on part I of the app, but I’m thinking, maybe I might wanna change it… And I heard that it’s frowned upon to have undecided applicants who are transferring as juniors… advice?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>any body know the age limit for dorm at usc? pm me if you know cuz this is such a popular thread i might never find my post again. lol</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>^^^What are the grades for your pre-reqs? If theyre A’s I would say you have a good shot</p>
<p>Thanks so much to everyone who has posted in here thus far.</p>
<p>I will be applying for Fall 2010, right now with a 4.0 GPA a 2200 on the SAT and will have [at the time of application] an AA in Business Administration. I have no ECs from college, but several from High School [where I graduated with a 3.6].</p>
<p>What are my chances of acceptance?
And what are the chances I have for scholarships [as USC is VERY expensive, and I am in need of all the money I can get.]</p>
<p>I plan on transferring as a Business or Economics major. If accepted I know that USC allows you to study in their Film Production program as a minor without having to apply to the film school. Anyone have any information in regards to that?</p>
<p>Thanks so much for any help you can give me!</p>
<p>archieg,
yes- if you have 64 units or more, do not apply undeclared. What’s deterring you from SPPD? The undergraduate program is exactly what they say it is. It’s a great place to be.</p>
<p>grey, do you know what the avg. stats are for sppd by any chance?</p>
<p>Is it true that they’re lower, since it is a newer school?</p>
<p>Because I should have a 3.6 and 55 units by the end of the fall if I do well, and am worried like crazy that I won’t get at least a SGR… or worse, will get rejected again!!!</p>
<p>Do you have any sppd advice?</p>
<p>Thank you so much, and it’s good to see you again!</p>
<p>They don’t publish the avg. stats unfortunately (I frantically looked when I was considering the school myself). Despite that, I know that the avg. GPA is definitely NOT lower because its a newer school. The truth is that SPPD is a very very old school – only the name is new. The school has been around for 81 years… [SPPD</a> Facts - USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/schools/sppd/about/facts.html]SPPD”>http://www.usc.edu/schools/sppd/about/facts.html) </p>
<p>If you have those many units and that GPA, you probably will not get an SGR, unless you’re still taking a pre-req. Even then, I was taking 2 pre-reqs in the spring, and only had 44 units by the end of fall, and I still got a straight acceptance.</p>
<p>As far as advice goes, all that I can offer is get the best grades that you are capable of, make sure you have finished the pre-reqs (macro+microecon, finite math or pre-calculus), and have started working on classes that articulate to satisfy the USC general education curriculum. What do your extracurriculars look like?</p>
<p>Well, I was in a club last spring, and I had a job in high school. I am currently volunteering at my mom’s doctor’s office a couple hours a week, where I help with patients, specifically the old ones: bringing them up (as the office is on the fifth and top floor), taking them down, escorting them to their cars, and I organize files, regular type office work a little.</p>
<p>I am trying to score an internship with Warner Bros. right now, so I don’t know if SPPD will like that or see that as a plus lol</p>
<p>Also, I got an A in macroecon, a B in microecon, and will be taking the Math requirement in the spring… so that could mean SGR, huh?</p>
<p>Thank you! And btw… did you take any pre-reqs the spring before transfer?</p>
<p>Also, what are the job prospects like for a sppd undergrad?</p>
<p>What kind of jobs can you get?</p>
<p>Hi all I just signed up for this because I saw it was helpful for other transfer students. My name is Nichole and I am trying to transfer to either USC for Communication or Public Relations. I have my associates degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology graduating with an overall GPA of a 3.3. However, I just finished 12 units at Cal State LA and I have a 3.8 there. I am worried about my chances of getting into USC Anneberg because I heard it is very competitive. Could anyone give me some suggestions or pointers about transferring? Thanks so much! : )</p>
<p>I had some trouble finding stats on how competitive transfer admission to Viterbi is. Does anyone have some solid information on this?</p>
<p>Any SPPD advice? ANYONE? lol</p>
<p>I just realized that there are 2 USC threads going on. This one is from last year, Fall 2009, so I’m going to close it. Please continue this discussion on the Fall 2010 thread:</p>
