I got in earlier today! Human Biology major with 1190 SAT and 4.27 GPA (w)!! My dream school yay. I talked about a minor health condition I never felt the need to mention prior.
MY APPEAL WORKED! I go to school in Shanghai GPA 3.9 unweighted
Congratulations to everyone admitted! I submitted my appeal on time and received a confirmation email but I did not receive a response back. What do you guys think I should do? Does this mean they are not interested in me?
Should I wait for my financial aid before I fill out my “intent to enroll”?
@surfer07 same thing happens to me too I also submitted on time but didn’t receive any decisions yet
@Thebear12345 awe I’m stressed out even more now. What do you think we should do?
@surfer07 idk I emailed the admission office maybe we can try calling them later
@maelee What did you say in your appeal?
@CADREAMIN any idea how many appeal students got in?
@WCWSM52 What did you write in your appeals letter?
@Erventa The national scholarship is what you wrote about in your appeal?
@sam128389 What did you write about in your appeal?
@surfer07 did u include a cover page and what date did u submitted it ?
Does anyone know how many people usually get offered the trojan Transfer Program and how many usually follow through with it?
@amtand It is offered to a few hundred during the regular admissions cycle, the majority being to legacies, but to some students they would take otherwise if major wasn’t so full. They know to target people that would be likely to show up (like legacies so they can count on that number the next year to fill spots made for various reasons. All about balancing. Not so many during appeals because not that many appeals go through.
Those that go through with it are ones that feel strongly about attending/graduating from USC no matter what. Others don’t want to deal with commmon app, waiting for results then being/coming into USC as a transfer student, so they move on. I’ve heard some feel it is a great option and save money attending a cc or go abroad, where others feel if USC didn’t want them the first time, they don’t want USC later. Opinions go from one extreme to another.
Doesn’t really matter what others do, or how many do it. You have to decide if it works for you!
In my appeal i stated how it was my dream school and how everything i did in HS was for USC and how as a minority I could add to the campus and how the school is perfect for my major (comm)
@CADREAMIN thank you for your input! I was wondering even if you don’t have a 3.7+ gpa and are last of TTP, what are the chances you can get in? I know you said they give it to people who they know will fill up their empty spots for next year. So it is a guarantee so matter what?
Unfortunately, not a guaranteed transfer plan. You apply all over again. And some current TTPs from last year are still waiting for their decision to get in for this fall (it’s mid May ugh). It is highly likely if you take the right classes and get a 3.7+ gpa. But not guaranteed. There have been TTPs that don’t get in, I suppose likely a gpa issue. It should be guaranteed, wish it was.
When I said likely to fill spots, I meant the majority being legacies. They tend to be the ones that will go cause of strong family pull to USC.
@Thebear12345 ok keep me updated!
@surfer07 did u include a cover letter and when did u submitted it ?
