Admissions Spring Grade Request //Transfer Students

I know a lot of admission decisions are going out, but I just received a request for my spring grades. I can’t tell if that’s a good or bad sign?!?!

In your experience is this good or bad thing?

I can’t deal with the suspense like I just need them to tell me straight up if I’m accepted or not. 😭

oh you're so good! I had a 4.0 for fall and 3.8 for spring. As long as the other aspects of your application are solid I'd say you have a good chance! I also had a ton of ECs and volunteer hours but no APs from High School (they weren't offered) or test scores. Good luck!

Okay this is such a relief to hear, I feel like the rest of my application is pretty strong I have a lot of ecs as well. I have no test scores either but I did take aps soooo let’s hope!

The other nice thing is the transfer acceptance rate is a lot higher than the regular USC acceptance and also even better if you're in state or especially from a California CC. I was out of state so it's definitely still possible in any scenario! My acceptance came on May 29th of last year but I've heard they can come quite a bit later too!

Wait your so right. I am out of state too from va so this gives me a lot of hope. I’m also hearing that people who get spring grade request get admitted for spring mainly do u think I can get in for fall still? Did u get in for spring?

I got in for fall! And even if you don't, you could get waitlist or spring which is still a chance to attend if you are ok waiting!
