Academic Transfer Admissions Question

3 Upvotes

I’m a freshman and I applied as a transfer in February with only one semester. Considering that when decisions come out it’s either a Y/N or a SGR I feel like if I don’t get rejected (which I won’t 😉) then they’ll ask for my spring grades. My question is whether or not there is any use in sending them in sooner since I will have received them by the first week of May. Like I don’t know if they’ll consider it the same way if I do it without being asked. I know it won’t hurt me (fall I had a 3.6 and I currently have a 4.0 and it’s gonna stay that way😉) but like idk if I should just wait.

Academic CSBA vs. DS + financial aid

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming freshman @ USC, and I have some questions regarding my major and financial aid.

How are CSBA and DS different? I know CSBA is administered by Viterbi and DS is administered by Dornsife, but don’t they study similar things?

Additionally, what can I do in the fall to get ahead as a spring admit who’s interested in DS and BA? When do I need to declare my major? How does the spring semester program look like in general (is it hard to catch up later on)?

For financial aid, can I replace work study with outside scholarships? What are some main ways to pay for estimated remaining cost?

Appreciate any advice/info. Thanks in advance!

Can I select which courses of the general education requirement I want to use my AP exams for? For example, if I’ve taken 5 AP exams but I want to skip some and retake some courses at USC, can I choose which ones I want to transfer my credits for? Thanks!

FinancialAid Financial aid package just came in, question about commuting

8 Upvotes

Hello! Im a new admit for '29 and USC is my top choice. I qualify for the full tuition coverage because my household income is under 80K. This is reflected in the financial aid package that I just received.

My concern is that, USC gave me enough in their university grant to cover some of housing (I got 83K in grants, which is more than the 75k cost of tuition and fees), and I will not be applying for housing.

So, is there a way to declare that I'm a commuter, and if so, will the university grant be adjusted or will it stay the same? Thank you!

Housing Too late for Reassignment?

6 Upvotes

Hey yall so I found out this morning at like 2am that my group housing contract had been cancelled by my roommate. I’m in a single 2 person apartment and desperately want to reassign somewhere better, as I genuinely did not want the housing building I got. Is it beyond late or is there somewhere I can go for this??? The housing application says reassignment closed, so I’m guessing the latter :(

Question How safe/dangerous is taking the metro past 9pm?

29 Upvotes

I’m gonna be living off campus next semester and I’m worried about how safe the commute will be at night because I have a night class and I’ll have more in future semesters. I don’t have a car and I’d have to take the E line and B line to where I’ll be living with a relative. I’ll probably have to do a bit of walking too 😭 I’m kind of scared. I take the E line all the time to go places all the time but I always get back before 6 pm.

Question Fish tanks?

5 Upvotes

Prospective freshman here with a somewhat niche question- I read that fish tanks 10 gallons and less were allowed in the dorms, but would they really verify that? Would I get busted if I brought a 20 gallon? Do you have to register that you have a fish?

FinancialAid Financial aid advice pls

6 Upvotes

Hello, I was recently admitted to usc, yay.

Im having alot of trouble with financial aid and super stressed I wont get any and wont be able to go. Basically I live with my dad and he makes under 80k. I qualify for pell grant, etc. However my mom has never helped me financially and we dont talk very often. I dont think I would qualify for a non custodial waiver but now usc if asking for her tax return. I dont know the whole jist, but she lives off her new husband, who has never supported me in anyway and makes alot of money. like 300k. he also has a prenup agreement with her to only give her about 2k a month no matter how much he makes and to not have to support me financially. do you think if I explained this situation to usc they would understand? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
