Transfer into USC.
The University of Southern California (USC), is a top-tier college in the United States. Each year, the "U.S. News and World Report" ranks USC among the top-30 institutions nationwide. Getting into USC is challenging since the undergraduate program is one of the most selective in the country. Each year, USC accepts approximately 20 percent of transfer and regular-decision applicants from all over the United States.

2. Complete certain prerequisites, such as English courses, and any other required courses for your particular program.
3. Register for the SAT or ACT six months before the deadline. Over the summer, you should register for a test in September or October so that you can retake the exam in December, if necessary. The testing service will report your scores to USC's admissions office.

7. Complete the second part of the USC application. When you are ready to submit your application online, you will be required to pay an application fee.
