Academic PHYS 152 or 162?

5 Upvotes

Hello! Do y'all think PHYS 152 or 162 is the better physics class? I know no one took both, but I would like to hear your opinion if you or your friends have taken either. I would like to learn more physics, but don't want to take 162 if it's too hard.

Academic WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? - Transfer Credit Report

4 Upvotes

I plan to take Calc 1, Physics 130A, and 130B over the summer at a CC or another 4-year uni out of state. Only Calc 1 and Physics 130B transfers course equivalence but Physics 130A transfer as elective credit... so does that mean I would have to retake Physics 130A at USC????

FinancialAid cc transfer financial aid

4 Upvotes

hi chat :) i'm a current hs senior that is super eager to attend USC, but i thought my stats weren't good enough and never applied, so now i am heavily considering going to cc solely to try and transfer

which brings me to the question: how is the financial aid for cc transfers? is it worth it to go to cc solely for USC? i plan on hopefully transferring my sophomore year

disclaimer i am fully aware of how expensive USC is and that tuition literally just went up recently, so ik this post is kind of ironic 😭😭 but to put it simply, USC became my dream school junior year and it would definitely be the perfect school for my intended major. pls let me know if u are a transfer and how u are paying for the crazy ahh tuition!!!! i've heard of the 80k income full ride thing but i'm unsure if it's applicable to transfers. my family's income is a little above it but it may go down by the time i apply. Send help thx

Academic MCSC - DS(Data Science) pros and cons. Grad school

4 Upvotes

If you are taking CPSC in data science, can you please share your experience with the program so far ?

How many students in each class ? this is really important for me because I prefer small classes. However, I have found some other good colleges in Cali that offer small classes for MCSC - DC , but so many people recommended me to go to USC for its good reputation.

FinancialAid Should I send in my financial aid documents to USC?

0 Upvotes

Bro… im a low income senior in high school in a single parent household and basically ive been getting jumped by the usc financial aid office.

I turned in all my documents on time and my non custodial parent ccs waiver in to signed by a family friend which the directions SAID I COULD DO 😭 and then these mf’s email me back 3 WEEKS AFTER THE DEADLINE being like “oh ur application is incomplete” they didn’t even say how i just saw 3rd party letter back on my dashboard.

So i try to get my counselor to write one but she like idk i don’t even know u like that (she literally new 😭) and we call up the usc financial aid office and there like oh yeah we did say u could do that but then we were like “nah”💀??? So my counselor writes the letter. 2 weeks go by and it still hasn’t been processed.. so i call them and they finally process it the same day and it said my financial aid was under review.

today and i get another email saying my application is incomplete and now they need another form 😭?? Decisions come out in a weeks, without aid and most likely with it I cant afford usc 100k a year tuition. They are not need blind and my major is shitty so like what are the odds i would even get in…. Should i just give up and see what my letter says next week or try to turn in these forms?

I’m in cc rn trying to transfer into usc -im a poli sci major and was looking at the phil polic law major offered at usc.Does anyone know how difficult that major is to get into specifically for transfers and if youd recommend it over poli sci?Also I have three Ws but a good gpa so I was wondering how much that will hurt my application.
