<p>Just a note that the OP posted her question over a year ago (March 2013). Much of the above advice is helpful for others, of course, so I thought I’d add a few more thoughts. </p>
<p>Getting the TTP option does not guarantee entrance into a specialized School within USC, which has its own admissions process/office, but is a plan to allow certain invited students to transfer into USC Dornsife more easily if all academic reqs are met. Successful TTP students wishing to enter SCA (or other selective Schools at USC) must submit the required supplemental material/audition according to transfer applicant deadlines like all prospective tranfers, and will have to wait to find out if they get that major or not. </p>
<p>In addition, the OP’s D was interested in majoring in Screenwriting which is a BFA program with a strict 4 year sequence of req courses. In many cases, BFAs may not be open to transfers unless they are willing to put in a full 4 years at USC in addition to the year they spent at CC or where ever they did their first year of studies. For SCA Writing for Screen and Television BFA: Note to Transfer Students: the undergraduate Writing program is a four-year sequential curriculum of study. General education and elective units may be accepted toward the degree based on USC credit evaluation. There is no spring admission to this program. - See more at: <a href=“http://cinema.usc.edu/writing/transferprocedures.cfm#sthash.rvL7pPqY.dpuf”>http://cinema.usc.edu/writing/transferprocedures.cfm#sthash.rvL7pPqY.dpuf</a> So, if admitted, it’s another 4 years of college.</p>
<p>Tip! Once you are admitted to USC Dornsife, minoring in Screenwriting and just about every selective School major is easily accessible to all students. This route can be a great gateway into internally transferring to the major over time. However, you’re still in for 4 years starting the following (!!!) fall semester. Take the minor!!</p>
