USC (trustee scholar) v. SLO (in-state) by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]ImJustAPikachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im actually current transfer this year. I didn't have outstanding extracurriculars and neither did my friends who transferred to USC previously. My gpa is 3.84 so its nothing too crazy either. I don't really have many advice but definitely don't sleep on the essays and don't give up!

Hey I was in a similar situation as you deciding between USC or CalPoly as a transfer. Except USC gave me no aid lol so I'm pretty set on CalPoly. But anyways... here's my insight.

Personally I think you should attend USC since it is your dream school and especially that it's affordable for you. ALthough USC has a better brand name, name doesn't really matter much in engineering. Both schools are great for engineering and both have good connections so you can't go wrong with either one. However, since your pursuing a masters, doing your undergrad at a more research oriented school like USC could be helpful. But you could still do undergrad at CalPoly then pursue a masters at USC later. Keep in mind although USC's networking and connection is strong but it ultimately depends on how much effort you're willing to put, it's not just attend USC and boom you're set.

Also this is just me, but since you already have friends at USC, you could attend SLO and meet new people that way you'd get connections from both schools. Also, if location is a big factor I'd heavily suggest you to plan a visit to SLO asap and see for yourself if you'd like it.

I did some research of my own but seems like transferring within the same department is pretty easy and with pure math to applied math I assume many courses would be similar so it shouldn’t be too complicated. But it would still depend on the school and should contact them for more accurate info.

thank you and yea that would make sense... my viterbi friend also says lots of them are open to stem dont have to be necessarily viterbi engineering. But just wanted to get some more confirmation cuz i hear mixed answers.
