    Yesss fellow transfer here! I graduated last year but transferring was one of the best decisions I made for myself in college (and maybe my life lol). I made a my college experience vid that touches on my transfer experience but probably should make a more informative one since this was super helpful... 🤔

    hi, can i transfer to USC for my spring semester (freshman year). i currently go to a private non-profit (so basically not a community college) is that possible?

    Hi! Loved the video. I got accepted to CPP but I feel as though I’m going to regret not going to a uc for the experience and the challenge. My other option is cc if I want to really commit to transferring to a uc. My question to you was how to were able to transfer after freshman year and go to a uc as a sophomore, what was the route you took? I hear that cc students get first priority so I’m worried I will not be able to transfer successfully if I go to CPP first and then transfer.

      Hi Laura! Congrats on CPP! I actually transferred to USC, not a UC. USC accepts sophomore and junior transfers while UCs only accept junior transfers. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    I decided to go to a state school because everyone was telling me the scholarship I had gotten was something I shouldn’t give up, but I really wanted to go to UMich. I’m thinking of transferring and applying to multiple schools, but I’m afraid the financial aid won’t be as good as if I were an incoming freshman. How was the aid for you?

    • @sliverscreencritic
      @sliverscreencritic 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The fiancial aid isn't as good but that's primarliy because only incoming freshman could potentially get free tution if their family makes less than 80k a year. However, in my expirence USC is pretty generous in terms of grants as the grant they gave me was over half of the gift aid I recieved at all.

    hey girl! I just transferred to Marshall after a year at CC. Any tips? Also, I've been thinking of switching to the IRGB major. Do you know anything about it/ have any advice? Loved the video btw!

    • @sydneyolay4963
      @sydneyolay4963  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Juliet! Congratulations! I know quite a few people who are IRGB majors and I was actually thinking of becoming one myself! I decided to stick with IR and pick up a minor in Marshall instead because I wanted to take more IR classes. With IRGB, half of your classes are in Dornsife and half are in Marshall. So it honestly depends on what you want to do. I think if you are interested in IR but still want to be partially in Marshall then IRGB is the way to go! If you do decide to switch, on your diploma it will only say IR and will not say IRGB so that's something to keep in mind. If you have any more questions, I'd love to answer them. Feel free to dm me on insta @sydolay. Can't wait to see you around campus and hopefully we'll have some classes together! :))

    Hi! Your video was really helpful in getting a sense of the type of atmosphere there. I’m still a senior in HS but the school that I am committed to a state school in NY. I really want to transfer to USC and I was wondering how the financial aid was for you. Was the majority of your tuition covered?

    Hello, I am currently a high school senior and will be attending a CSU for Fall 2020. I'm thinking about transferring to USC, but my only worry is that my high school test scores are low. Do they want to see high school test scores if I meet the required amount of units?

    • @sydneyolay4963
      @sydneyolay4963  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Amelie! They will ask for your test scores if you have less than 30 units and they will also ask for your high school GPA. Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about your test scores as long as you showing improvement in college and you get a high GPA there! Hopefully this helped!

    Thanks for making this video! I'm a senior right now and didnt apply to USC thinking I wouldn't get in. Now I'm regretting it and want to go to community college for a year and try to transfer in as a sophomore. Do you know much about double majoring there and doing two completely different things? Thanks!

    • @sydneyolay4963
      @sydneyolay4963  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Eddie! I honestly don't know a lot about double majoring, but I'm pretty sure if you decide to double major in two completely different things it will definitely take you longer than 4 years to graduate unless you already have a large amount of credit prior to going into college. Hopefully this helped a little, I'm sorry I don't know too much on double majoring!

      Definitely goto CC and transfer if you want to goto usc. CC classes are stupid easy and all you have to do is maintain a 3.7+ gpa (avg gpa for usc transfers), complete the course requirements and write a decent essay, and you’ll most likely have a good chance of getting in.

    Were you the one that took 5 classes during winter or your friend? How do you take 5 classes at one time? Multiple community colleges at the same time? And did your English math etc and general education transfer to USC? like did the cal poly English math etc transfer to usc or did you have to retake it at community college?

    • @sydneyolay4963
      @sydneyolay4963  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi!! My friend took 5 classes at a time! As for me, all of my classes transferred over. USC typically takes most of your classes as long as they have a class that's somewhat similar. If you're unsure if some of your classes are going to transfer over, contact your respective USC academic advisor (which can be found on the USC website). Hopefully this helped!
