<p>Knowing the following has comforted me:</p>
<p>2 weeks from today to Spring Break.</p>
<p>Then 6 weeks to Memorial Day.</p>
<p>The day after Memorial Day is our last day of class…</p>
<p>THEN FINALS BEGIN!!!</p>
<p>I usually shave off a week here and there, since once its already here its already here! (i.e. the end of May: that last week I’ll be so happy and relieved decisions should be out soon that I won’t care another week is left.)</p>
<p>You guys don’t finish 'til June?! Lol, I don’t think I could handle that. I’m back home by the end of April. :p</p>
<p>I’m already done! My last final was on the 24th and my grades are officially posted tomorrow. :p</p>
<p>…now I get to focus all of my energy on waiting, hoping, and crossing my fingers. ;)</p>
<p>Wow GoldFinch that nice. I finish May 21. I kinda like mine better cause it would be amazing getting an acceptance letter before finals; it would be like a huge inspiration to do well.</p>
<p>I finish on May 20th striker, so I definitely feel you on that. I’m just nervous that we won’t hear back before finals. It’ll make the week [unbearably] stressful.</p>
<p>Haha lets hope we get it before finals then.</p>
<p>I finish on June 11 -_- You guys are so lucky. :D</p>
<p>I finish June 22! Last year when I was waiting on those grades to send in my SGR response (deadline is June 30) I was so worried I wouldn’t get them in time.</p>
<p>I finish april 23 (the day before my brithday - how great is that!) but i am studying abroad for a month so i will be finished may 23 or so. can you believe it is almost april - AHHHH</p>
<p>Well, I received a slight status change- it now says “We are reviewing your application. Sometimes we require additional information, so be sure to respond to any requests promptly. Transfer applicants are notified of their admission, or of a request for more information by June 1.” I doubt there’s any significant meaning behind it, although I now am more likely to check it more often- after all, it’s nearly April, and people will begin to hear back in less than a month!</p>
<p>2 more days of march left… 
I’m starting to feel the suspense build up!!! hahaha</p>
<p>@dreaming - That’s the one I’ve had. I wish I knew what it meant!</p>
<p>Undergraduate Application (Part II, Fall 2010)
We have received and are currently reviewing your application. We recommend you check here occasionally for an update on the status of your application.</p>
<p>=…[</p>
<p>so looking at other transfer posts, im getting nervous and need some chancing haha
so what do you think?</p>
<p>CC: Mt SAC
GPA: 3.9
Major: Psychology
Units: probably 50-55 if i transfer over. Almost all categories done as well.
EC’s: Honors program, conducted research and presented it @ city wide conference, VP of honors club, ICC Rep for another club, err…cant think of anything else ATM.
Essay: I think it was strong. Basically wrote about how my HS experience was crap. barely graduated with a 2.07 and changed my attitude later.</p>
<p>Chance me and ill chance you too haha :D</p>
<p>@Dainese</p>
<p>How many credits are you transferring with? Have you already completed all the pre-reqs?</p>
<p>@dainese i think u have great chance, this is hearsay, but i heard its actually good if u did bad in high school because it shows u improved lol</p>
<p>I agree with jhsocal, although I feel that doing bad in high school holds more weight if you are applying after one year. However, if you are applying after two years, and maintain a 3.9 GPA, it is more than sufficient enough to show an admissions counselor that you have grown as a student. But after one year of college, it could hurt you.</p>
<p>@dainese
But to sum it up, from the information given, you have a very good chance. Great GPA, strong ECs, and if your essays are as strong as you claim, I see no reason why USC would deny you.</p>
<p>:D fosho. ill be transferring with 50-55. depending if i take summer or not. I may want a break. I will have covered all categories except category III which i could do in the summer if i choose to, which i probably will since its much cheaper here. </p>
<p>But yea, i stopped schooling for a year after graduation so i have a huge gap. but even then, ive only been at my CC for about…1.4 years. </p>
<p>thanks a lot everyone :)</p>
<p>Dainese - </p>
<p>You and I are on the same ship. I graduated high school in '98 with like a 2.2 GPA. I didn’t even take the SAT or the ACT because I knew that I was academically hopeless, so, I turned to the military immediately following graduation.</p>
<p>Your chances seem very good. I hope you make it!!!</p>
<p>thanks budlightyear (love the name btw) </p>
<p>I know how it feels to not have any academic hope haha. i didnt take the SAT either! LOL
**** was a waste of time. just go to a CC and do well. save money :)</p>
<p>so why would going straight to a university even be the smart thing to do anymore?
you’re more tempted to **** up, its more expensive, your a freshman!</p>
<p>transferring is the new cool thing to do.</p>
