<p>Yay… I finally got my acceptance packet yesterday.</p>
<p>3.9 political science</p>
<p>well i know this is a vague question, but as most ppl got from marshall school of business, i got spring request grades from sc about 2 weeks ago, i currently have all A’s in marshalls pre reqs, my cumulative GPA is 3.94, im at a community college now btw. if i get a B in calculus this semester and a B in another class that usc doesnt even ask about, my GPA will go down to a 3.81, you guys think that will make my chances of getting in lower?</p>
<p>simple answer is no</p>
<p>what do u you guys think should be the main topic in my appeal letter to UCLA, i believe i got rejected because i applied to business economics major, although having a 3.94 GPA, i had not taken calculus I and II yet.</p>
<p>you should have taken at least calc 1</p>
<p>hotpapa- UCLA appeal? this is a USC thread</p>
<p>lol hahaha omg even i didnt realize that</p>
<p>Doryx- Tried that already, lol. I’ve tried every comination of days that were important to me and a combo of those days as well. </p>
<p>I’ve been trying to deal with a probable rejection the last few days so that when it probably comes at the end of this week, I won’t be a dissapointed and won’t **** with me during finals week.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if SC reviews your application before they send out a spring grade request? Or do they just send letters out to all sophomore transfers?</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure your application is reviewed first. a vast major of applicants receive spring grade requests. this works the same with nyu.</p>
<p>How much does that fact that I’m a legacy count, and how do you suppose that is factored into admission?</p>
<p>According to most people, being a legacy counts a lot, but it seems the school itself wants to distance itself from legacy admission.</p>
<p>I’ve received a grade request-- I’m a legacy applying as a sophomore. I have a 3.6 coming from community college and I’ve applied for international relations as my major. Also, I’m half hispanic, if that means anything.</p>
<p>;asdlfkaj;dlkjdfasdf What do you all think?</p>
<p>It’s not a HUGE FACTOR. It sorta pushes you over the edge if you are borderline. If two people had 3.6, they obviously would pick the one with the legacy.</p>
<p>It will not compensate for a low GPA applicant, like a 3.2 or something.</p>
<p>goldenjet- I read through last years june and july posts. How will/did your gpa come out this time? I am totally rooting for you. Hope that spring grade request and/or accept comes to you soon.
On another note, should we start a who’s left list?</p>
<p>We are all rooting for you goldenjet. I read through your post 6 months ago when I was applying.</p>
<p>for people who havent received either a acceptance, spring request or even rejection?</p>
<p>Yes, all, even those transfers still on here that have been accepted. Last year a master list was kept by technics256. Some even ‘died by the sword’…<br>
Golden, will you manage the list?</p>
<p>mmck- my grades turned out all right in the fall. I re took bio, a class that I got a D in last spring and got a B in it this time around, but I also got a B in a Philosophy class that I had an A in for most of the semester, but I got a little lazy towards the end. That brings my overall bio grade to a C, which sucks, but it’s the only grade I have below a B with 65 or 67 credits (seriously, i forget how many I have, lol.) my overall GPA is a 3.6 and I’m really hoping for a spring grade request since I’m holding a 4.0 this semester while taking classes that I find less than interesting which to me is very satisfying, especially since i got off to a terrible start this spring. </p>
<p>As for the master list, of course i’ll put it together.</p>
<p>What’s the address we final transcripts to for the full transfer credit report? just the office of admissions?</p>
<p>How do they calculate GPA for incoming transfers? Do they only use your pre-USC GPA as a reference number, or is it actually turned into your USC GPA? I have finals and midterms coming up and I need to know if getting that “A” will be worth it, if getting a “B” will do the exact same thing for me. I am admitted, so my application is no longer under review.</p>
<p>Check out this USC website on the subject:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/admission/transfer/credit/#det[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/admission/transfer/credit/#det</a></p>
<p>But it’s still a bit unclear, so if there are any USC students on here who transferred in, maybe they can clarify this policy.</p>
