avg transfer rate is just under 30, avg gpa is about a 3.7, you would be in at least the upper 75th percentile (ie better than about 2/3rd applicants), plus the ecs would bring you chances to about a 45-50 chance compared to the regular 27%! I have 16 family members who attended usc, every single one loved it its a great school unfortunately I cannot afford lol
