<p>Hi Davidhoohdivad - I don’t think I can answer all your questions but I can tell you what I have learned while applying. I applied after a year at a California Community College and I will be attending USC this Fall.<br>
I was told in an admissions meeting last June that the main focus of my year should be my GPA. I earned a 3.9. I made sure I took all classes that would transfer including the required writing class. I submitted one teacher rec, I am not sure if you can submit more than one.
It sounds like you are a very strong applicant. I suggest you focus on keeping your grades up. Also, make sure that you put down both majors as some people this year were rejected because they only wanted one major. Good luck! This was a great place for me the past year and I learned so much from the other people on the board. Someone should/will start a transfer thread for USC in the college confidential transfer section and I recommend you join.
Fight on!!!</p>
