<p>USC must have a low percentage enrolled after admitted because of how late they tell people. I mean if I am told in July that I got in, then I’m kinda screwed for housing, lol.</p>
<p>It was just a hypothesis. It seems USC is one of those schools who informs everyone of their decision near the very end of deadlines. So if you were accepted to another school say UCLA and were still waiting for USC to inform you, then you’re going to start focusing more on UCLA and what it has to offer, meanwhile you start forgetting about USC for a little.</p>
<p>This is just an observation. I know it was partly true this year when I was accepted to some schools and was still waiting on other schools to make their decision. I was more drawn to the schools who had accepted me. It just seems that a lot of people who apply to USC, also apply to UCLA. And no I’m not a UCLA booster, supporter, ect. I just chose the school as an example. Haha.</p>
<p>@Jocelyne- You’re probably right. Most people will most likely not receive decisions until May. But who knows. Based on last year’s thread, no one on CC received decisions this early, and we’ve already had two people be admitted. So there is a chance a decent amount of people hear earlier than expected. I don’t know that having applied once makes you enough of an expert to say that there is absolutely, positively zero chance. We’re trying to keep our hopes up :)</p>
<p>is it bad that my application still says " We have received your application and currently reviewing your application. we recommend you check here…"?</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of people’s statuses still look like that. I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
<p>o ok thanks wghiller!</p>
<p>@socal4 that def is too not bad haha, but I am still waiting for my status to be changed as well :p.</p>
<p>Whoa I looked at the page full of status updates but mine says nothing about June 1… it says:</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>also i forgot to send college transcripts and (quarter system) and AP scores…and its odd because they havent said anything yet o.o</p>
<p>even weirder, i looked on the document management system and it says EVERYTHING was there including high school transcripts and SAT scores…um again i didnt send anything because when i saw this i was like why bother? i did apply last year as a prospective freshman…did they keep my stuff?!</p>
<p>@rawrsizzle- Its very possible. They have a file for each applicant in which they store all documents recieved. It may very well be that USC rolled over your transcripts from high school and your SAT scores because they have already verified them. You need to send in your college transcripts if you have not done so already. Don’t trust USConnect. For awhile it said they did not recieve my transcripts and I called 4-5 times to make sure they did and each time they said that my file was complete, but when I inquired as to why would USConnect still say that it needed things, they said it probably was just some sort of technical error.</p>
<p>Lets go lakers!</p>
<p>hey. i was on the usc 2010 transfer thread, and i saw your post. i’ve been trying to get in contact with USC marshall regarding their changed pre-requisites. i plan on transferring for fall 2011, because i’m only a freshman at cal state long beach, but i’m really concerned about the changes as well</p>
<p>i was able to find this page: [USC</a> Marshall Forms](<a href=“http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprogram/advising/forms.htm]USC”>http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprogram/advising/forms.htm)</p>
<p>the appropriate advisement sheet for transfers would be “B.S. Business Administration (BUAD) 2010 Transfer”</p>
<p>this is a helpful FAQ webpage also:
[USC</a> Marshall faq2010](<a href=“http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprogram/advising/faq2010.htm]USC”>http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprogram/advising/faq2010.htm)</p>
<p>i’ve been constantly trying to get in contact with marshall admissions to see the finalized changes to pre-requisites, and they have yet to be finished within “the next couple of weeks”</p>
<p>you can see, however, that transfers are required to take buad 305, with the pre-requisites to the course as “transferred financial and managerial accounting courses,” which can be viewed here: <a href=“http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/119/20854.pdf[/url]”>http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/119/20854.pdf</a></p>
<p>marshall admissions replied to my e-mail stating only transfers who have completed BOTH courses will be able to enroll in buad 305. otherwise, if you have taken only one or neither, then you will have to take buad 280 “accounting I” and buad 281 “accounting II” upon arrival.</p>
<p>also- macro and microeconomics MUST be taken at usc regardless if one has taken the courses at a previous institution. they no longer transfer to usc marshall as requirements for the business degree.</p>
<p>for this reason, i’m not sure as to what pre-requisites are. it would be normal to think that pre-requisites for business majors would be macro and microeconomics, but if they require students to enroll in those courses at usc again, i’m not sure if that would be so.</p>
<p>i just sent you a PM just in case you might overlook through the many posts in the transfer thread. hope this was helpful.</p>
<p>btw, if you get any word from marshall on changes to their pre-requisites (i know it might not matter to you since you’re inquiring on fall 2010 admission, and i plan for fall 2011), but please let me know if possible!</p>
<p>To the contrary, the students who apply to UCLA and those to USC, typically are different.</p>
<p>USC has a lot of specialties that differentiate it from UCLA. </p>
<p>For instance, USC has a seven-year, Bac/MD degree, which guarantees admission to USC Med, if grades are kept, UCLA doesn’t. </p>
<p>USC has an undergrad BusAd degree, UCLA has an interdisciplinary bus degree. </p>
<p>USC attracts people who want to major in film, and I think USC accepts them from high school or community college into the program - please correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>UCLA, on the other hand, tends to attract those who want to be MDs, but want to keep their options open, 737 apps to med school in 09 for UCLA, 220 for USC. </p>
<p>Guaranteed admission to med school (w/ grade upkeep) is an attraction at those pointing to USC; at UCLA there’s major competition. </p>
<p>UCLA draws a lot of people who want to attend law school, or graduate school in general, moreso than USC, which has more undergrad vocations than UCLA. </p>
<p>UCLA’s film program doesn’t accept students into its program from high school. One has to apply to the major as a junior. See Cliff the UCLA student who won Jeopardy, College Edition, when it was filmed at USC.</p>
<p>Regarding transfers, it seems USC will pluck those who go to community college or university somewhat green off the vine. </p>
<p>To apply to transfer to UCLA, one has to be pretty ripe; he/she has to declare a major and have the prereqs done, done, done, pretty much. Add that 3.8 won’t guarantee UCLA for some impacted majors, neith will 3.9 or even perfect grades for Comm Studies.</p>
<p>Main point, is, there’s a lot of differences between the applicants of each university. Some of the similarities: both are attracting a lot of internationals, though USC has more out-of-staters, though UCLA is trying to increase its profile there because of budgeting (oos and ints pay full tuition, etc). Both are raising the bar of standards. Generally, though they are rivals one can attend one school, and attend the other’s grad school, without feeling badly because both are very good schools. There’s a lot UCLA grads particularly at USC Med, Dental, Law, Pharmacy, and Marshall Graduate.</p>
<p>THe supposed animosity between the schools s/b put to rest, really, because both schools can co-exist and actually be compatable.</p>
<p>@mikeabautista</p>
<p>That’s a pretty informative post. I will be a Freshman next year at another institution, but am preparing for the transfer process. I’ve been mainly going off the articulation website, and what it said on the brochure. I also have emailed Marshall asking about the changes and what it will mean to the transfer students coming in next year, but I have yet tor receive a respond. Though, if I find anything, I’ll be sure to post it.</p>
<p>@drax12</p>
<p>I understand what you’re trying to say. I was never comparing the both, it just seems as if many students apply to both schools. And as far as them co-existing, I don’t have any experience in the UCLA v USC rivalry.</p>
<p>@mikeabautista- I dont understand how the marshall prereqs to the fall 2011 semester are really relavent to this thread. Maybe you should consider starting a new 2011 USC transfer thread? </p>
<p>@drax- obviously, USC and the other school CAN be compatible etc, but you are underestimating the rivalry. I went to the associates brunch before the season opener with my uncle this year and listened to many successful alumns discuss things and they wouldnt even call UCLA, ‘ucla’ they called it the other school and westwood. They further stated that they told their kids that they would pay for whatever school they wanted to go to (including Notre Dame), except for UCLA. as far as your notion of USC picking students that are not yet ripe, while that is true, I believe there are a majority of students who transfer with junior standing. For example, Marshall requires Calculus (or bus calc) but not everyone is able to reach the calculus standing until the last semester of their sophmore year. This was true with me, I know I would’ve transferred last year to USC if it were not for the calculus requirement (well, any business school’s calculus requirement). Additionally, the UC system as a whole requires 60 units completed when you transfer.</p>
<p>-just my two cents. :-p</p>
<p>USC wants transfers to take advantage of the courses offered. For example, although Marshall offers a BBA, there is still a strong liberal arts curriculum.</p>
<p>@mikeabautista- I just read up on what you were discussing before. I was not aware of the curriculum change. thank you for the heads up.</p>
<p>however, you do not need to take “micro” and “macro” econ at USC, those 2 econ classes that are needed to be taken at USC are actually intermmediate econ classes.</p>
<p>"the course description for ECON 251x:<br>
Development and business applications of: theory of the firm; theory of the consumer; intertemporal decisions; decisions under risk; market failures; industrial and enterprise structure</p>
<p>the course description for ECON 252x:<br>
Theoretical development and significance to business and markets of: economic growth; inflation; unemployment; monetary and fiscal policy; business cycles; savings and investment; exchange rates."</p>
<p>… but the alums who wouldn’t mention ‘the other school,’ or ‘westwood,’ were probably just playing up to the USC crowd. Heck, some of them might have even married a Bruin. ;)</p>
<p>@drax12- lol, nope. this was over the courses of discussion between old friends and i believe frat brothers sitting and eating at a table. thats all. lol, while obviousl ythat happens, I know these guys never married a bruin.</p>
<p>Does anyone who is applying to marshall understand how the grade cards work exactly? If I dont get my grade in my last prereq (calc) until may 20/21, will I not get a decision until it is turned in?</p>
<p>‘…I know these guys never married a bruin.’</p>
<p>Did you mean ‘guys’ or ‘gays’? </p>
<p>Just funnin’ you, lol, take care…</p>
