USC 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>mmmmmm hot chocolate. It tastes good while I’m reading posts from this thread and from the 2009 USC transfer thread hahahaha</p>

<p>ah yes, 2:00 a.m. and wide awake! I love it! I can’t wait to drive drowsy tomorrow.</p>

<p>@daisydaisy yeah, occasionally even means the weekend for me when I don’t think anyone is looking at applications haha</p>

<p>I got the mail today!
3.81 txfer from cali. cc
EE
im very happy but i have no idea what to do now???..
they say pay the fee by 5/1
but what to do if i am still waiting for other colleges and how do i know the financial aid stuff</p>

<p>@ samuelim1990 - You received a transfer admission acceptance already? I guess that beats last year’s record of a 04/23 decision, congrats! I think you usually receive financial aid information in a separate letter within a few weeks. As far as the 5/1 deadline, you can try contacting them to ask for an extension however I’m not sure if USC is lenient or not regarding that.</p>

<p>kulakai// yeah i was really surprised to see that today in the mail? totally unexpected… anyways thank you for that… i read the packet and for transfer student its 6/1 or two weeks after getting the decision… so i guess i have some time :slight_smile:
one more thing… by paying the commitment fee ($300) this is saying im definitely going to USC right?
this is my first time getting in so i have no idea haha thanks!</p>

<p>Wow, congrats!</p>

<p>DAAANG congratulations samuel! :smiley: btw what major did you apply for?</p>

<p>foodmunkee// elec engineering</p>

<p>ohhh that’s what EE stands for didn’t catch that :smiley: thanks for the clarification hahahaha</p>

<p>@samuelkim1990 - The $300 is a seat deposit to reserve your spot essentially.</p>

<p>Colleges understand that people apply to multiple schools and don’t always receive all of their acceptances at the same time (especially transfers). I am gonna assume USC is not your top choice if you’re asking about the deadline so hypothetically speaking if you pay the $300 and later find out your accepted to the school you really want to go to, you contact USC and withdraw. You then lose your non-refundable deposit and they open up the seat to someone else on the waitlist. If you were to enroll at USC, the $300 is put towards your tuition balance in the fall.</p>

<p>That is how the deposits work.</p>

<p>@samuelkim1990
Will you tell us all of the information that you have, credits, from cc or univ., status updates, hook, are you from CA, etc.</p>

<p>i don’t understand. if the deadline is 5/1, then does that mean we are going to hear our decisions early than we anticipated?</p>

i dont really know how to work with uploading so it took me while
hope this helps
mbtown// i thought i said that before</p>

<p>low 3.8x, Electrical engineering, cali.cc (near la and orange county, i went to two diff ones)
status updates: now i check it says
Undergraduate Application (Part II, Fall 2010)
The committee has acted on your application, and we have mailed notice of the decision. If for some reason you do not receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results this over the phone beginning June 11th.</p>

<p>but i think it was about a week or so, it didnt say this</p>

<p>im from CA… hope that clarifies… maybe thats why i got this admission early?</p>

<p>and i finished pre-req last fall (except modern physics that im taking this semester)</p>

<p>@fuji… sorry they didnt specify that 5/1 is for freshman and it is actully 6/1 for transfer… grr i was so worried too…
actually they said… 6/1 or two weeks after getting the letter. so hope that helps</p>

<p>samuel - congratulations, buddy!!!</p>

<p>@samuelkim1990 - Oh well 6/1 isn’t too bad. You should hear from most of your other schools before then I’d imagine. One more question, you are taking a pre-req this semester and they did not give you an SGR?</p>

<p>@samuelkim1990
my bad haha</p>

<p>@kula… well in the letter it says you must submit a $300 enrollment commitment deposit by 5/1 but then in the welcome to usc packet it says 6/1 for transfer so thats where i got confused but i assume its 6/1… i will call them next week</p>

<p>and this semester only modern physics is the pre-req for usc
everything besides that i finished last fall and before</p>

<p>i assume you are a junior right? did you send in the supplemental application for viterbi? it wasn’t required, but it was recommended</p>
