[@lashonquinones3749]

My daughter is a sophomore in USC..she wants to transfer OUT! Good luck to you.

[@realkevinsan]

awesome video!!!! thanks for sharing your story and helping others get on that path.

[@patriciagerges]

Can you make a video about transfer culture at USC?

[@dreezu]

inspirational! need more vids like these

[@superelectric3376]

what can I do if the classes that are required for transfer don't have at my community college?

[@footballaesthetics11]

congrats cheyenne

[@jaloejuice]

What if i dont have much GEs completed by transfer? My course plan is geared towards UC transfer but it seems most wont transfer to USC. I also have a bunch if dual enrollment credits from HS would those count for USC?

[@allstarmic6792]

Congrats on your acceptance, and great video! I’m trying to transfer in one year to USC and have just completed 8 units for this summer. I hear people say “you need 60 credits to be a competitive applicant,” and you said to max out each semester. Does this mean accumulating more GEDs even though I’ve already scheduled to “complete” the articulation agreement? Maybe take more music (my major) courses? Thank you!

[@CheyenneTrac]

Thank you so much! I'm glad this video helped. Without 60 units, I still believe you will be a competitive applicant. Of course the more units you have the better, but showing USC that you're working towards the completion of your GE's still gives you a competitive edge. I transferred with 42 units, which is nowhere near as much as 60 units! And yes, it's amazing that you are scheduled to complete the articulation agreement. I would recommend taking any classes that can relate to your field of study. These credits may transfer as elective units to USC. I'm not so sure that these will transfer as credit towards your degree of completion at USC because I know that USC is very picky with the type of classes you take for your major, but don't let this discourage you in taking classes that relate to your field, it's only a head start! Best of luck on your transferring process :)

A little late but no matter what school you plan to apply to the more units you have the more competitive you are. This is mainly for two reasons, one they have a better look at how you perform in college and two, if the credits articulate you're more likely to graduate on time. You don't need to have that many to transfer, I feel most rising sophomores that apply don't have anywhere near that many credits. I think you're right more music based classes would be the way to go if you're on track to get most of your GE's out of the way and already met major requirements, however, you can email the specific school at USC or your USC counselor for clarification.

[@allstarmic6792]

groundtofu this was a lot of help, thanks for the information 🙏

[@melissamanesh6132]

did you do any internships, jobs, or school extracurriculars while in community college? I'm worried I wont stand out

[@CheyenneTrac]

I didn't have any internships during community college, but I worked a part-time job at a local business!

[@williamwang1123]

Thank you!

[@EVEAGG]

Hi Cheyenne, I was wondering how many times can we double count for the USC GE requirements?

[@CheyenneTrac]

i’ve heard that it can count for all categories! guidelines may have changed since i applied so i would check with the current rules!

[@EVEAGG]

@@CheyenneTrac I know it’s a bit late, but I was wondering if you took two calculus courses the year you transferred over to USC. Thank you! I look forward to your response.

[@CheyenneTrac]

@@EVEAGG i actually never took a calculus class in college! just stats

[@EVEAGG]

@@CheyenneTrac I appreciate your transparency & helpful reply :)

[@setare908]

thank you so much.

[@Leo-wf1wx]

What major did you transfer to USC, thank you

[@michaelsorooshian5481]

the 42 units that you had were they quarter or semester units? and was this only through your fall and winter quarters or spring as well? Thanks!

[@CheyenneTrac]

Semester units! 18 in Fall and Spring, I also took Winter and Summer classes at around 6-8 units

[@michaelsorooshian5481]

did you get a spring grades request, I just got one!

[@CheyenneTrac]

yup! i got it maybe 3 days before my acceptance letter

[@banardadams8776]

How involved were you with extracurriculars?

[@CheyenneTrac]

I wasn't involved in any during my one year at CC, however I did briefly mention in my essays that I worked a part time job while balancing being a full time student

[@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy]

I think i just failed my math final so i can pretty much flush this dream down the toilet right

[@rawr5760]

Nope, redoing things or showing that you put an effort unto these things while correcting them will bring you back. Dont worry you'll get

[@coffeeofthedevil7597]

What community college did you go to?

[@CheyenneTrac]

I went to a community college in SoCal!
