USC 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>“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>Sorry if I’m a little late to the party, but I don’t want to read through all 173 pages. Is this the message that most people have?</p>

<p>yup most of us have that. no change for me.</p>

<p>I didn’t really check if earlier status updates were accepted earlier. I’ll review it later though!</p>

<p>And an example of a prospective transfer that was accepted last year. </p>

Received the…“We are reviewing…Sometimes we require…” update on 4/17/2009. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062341565-post2347.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062341565-post2347.html&lt;/a&gt;
Accepted: Marshall School of Business on 5/30/2009 (Assuming he went on CC and posted this the same day lol). </p>

<p>Yeah, most people’s status has been updated to the one you have recently. It means that they start checking people’s materials. I was informed that they miss my high school transcript. So, if you don’t have anything particular on the status, you should be fine with all the materials you turned in.</p>

<p>Does anyone know about the Psych and Anthro departments at USC? Like specifically about the courses and focus? </p>

<p>For example, is Psych more biologically oriented or social; is it research-y; internship opportunities; class hardness (relative and subjective, but overall reputation); or how difficult it is to be accepted into?? For Anthro, anyone heard of the Visual Anthro, and taking film classes; relative difficulty; professor reputation; etc.</p>

<p>Thanks, and good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I still have the lameo status. I had to withdraw from a class so now I only have 10 units. I plan on taking 12 units as soon as this semester ends, I’m completely terrifed I’m getting an sgr because I’d be done for. I have 46 completed though… God I’m scared…</p>

<p>Oh crap, now that I think about it do I need to tell USC if I withdrew from my class??ugh I might be screwed now I’m terrified. Does anyone know how we find our admissions person??</p>

<p>I think you are supposed to, here is the website to find your admission officer if you decide to e-mail them: <a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/admceebsearch/ugappfindcounselor.aspx[/url]”>https://camel2.usc.edu/admceebsearch/ugappfindcounselor.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Anyone else not have a status update yet?</p>

<p>Do sophomore-transfer applicants usually get SGR? I just want to get accepted haha</p>

<p>GPA: 3.88
Pepperdine University
Units Completed: 17
Units in Progress: 18 (but i might drop one of my classes…so it might be 15)
ACT: 29</p>

<p>what do you think…?</p>

<p>Yes, sophomore applicants usually get SGRs but its not always the case. You can be admitted without receiving the SGR.</p>

<p>@nicole b - no status update for me =[ but I am hoping it is because I have all of my info. submitted so they do not need anything else besides my spring grades</p>

<p>does anyone know what determines if a sophomore gets an sgr and why they would not get one? besides units though, we all have less than 30 completed (excluding ap’s)</p>

<p>transferguy: My guess is it depends on how you did in high school. Because those with less than thirty semester units have their decisions made based primarily off of their HS record, I would assume applicants with very competitive grades and test scores are less likely to receive an SGR. That’s simply a conjecture, though.</p>

<p>so should transfer applicants applying as juniors expect to receive sgr’s or is it unlikely? i have 60 units…i wonder if i will get an sgr…hmmmm?</p>

<p>For the most part, I don’t think applicants going for junior standing should expect a sgr. However, I think there is always the possibility they would ask for them.</p>

<p>Hello All - Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t USC require 64 (transferrable) units to be considered a junior? I swore I read that somewhere in their articulation agreement, or something of that sort.</p>

<p>Hmm…I’ll give them a call tomorrow and find out, I’ll have to call them anyway, I need to inform them that I’ve dropped a PE class. I’ll keep you guys posted for anyone that’s interested in knowing.</p>

<p>I will have a ridiculous 114 credits completed with a 3.9 at the end of this semester however I still expect an SGR because I’m currently taking calculus I which is a marshall pre-req :/</p>

<p>i really hate comparing myself to all of you guys. it just makes me feel underqualified!</p>

<p>@fuji - As I’m a high school dropout who never took the sat/act or AP classers, that is how I often feel as well when reading cc :)</p>
