Considering USC?

Dear Students,

There are several opportunities provided by the USC Office of Admissions for prospective transfer students. Please look over them below:

Transfer Information Sessions:

Details: An Admission's presentation that covers the USC transfer application process, transfer credit policy, and financial aid.

Date/Duration: Roughly every Tuesday (with some exceptions) for 1 hour.

Transfer Days:

Details: Transfer Day is a half-day comprehensive program designed to educate you on the transfer process and academic life at USC. Specifically, the program includes presentations on the admission process, transfer credit policy, academics, financial aid. You will also have the option to attend an academic interest fair and take a campus tour. Reservations required. Optional half-hour presentations precede each tour and provide information about admission & financial aid.

Duration: 3-4 hours

The dates for this year are as follows: September 17th, 2010; October 22, 2010; November 12, 2010; January 21, 2011

Campus Tour:

Details: Campus walking tours give guests a look into the life of USC students, including academics, campus resources, residential life, athletics and much more. Tours are led by current undergraduate students who share their stories while presenting an overview of the university.

Dates: Vary. Please check USConnect.

Duration: 2 hours

Optional half-hour admission presentations precede each tour.

In addition to the above events there are also several webtools to help you via this link: http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/transfer.html

I strongly suggest that you do your research about USC. Choosing a school should always be about personal fit. You may have always wanted to go to USC but have never stepped foot on the campus, or you may have never even considered applying but after a visit you want to apply. Either way these are great options to get to know USC personally.

If the above dates/times/activities do not work with your schedule you can always just stop by and hang out for a while. I would suggest doing this Monday thru Thursday, because as on all college campuses Fridays are not very active. If you would like to stop by the SCholars Program office while you are on campus please e-mail (scholars@usc.edu) and we can set up an appointment for your to stop by.

Want to know more about another private school? Leave a comment and I will write about it in a future post.

Sincerely,

Carmen
