okay, a question... i really want to apply to usc cuz it sounds like a cool program and one of the summer interns in my store goes there now and really likes it. but i am missing a bunch of stuff... speech and economics (which i have to take for uc's also), microbiology and lab, and i think i have to take molecular biology too. i took genetics at arizona which was considered comprable by my dept there, but on the usc equivalent list they don't list the class i took as comprable. how strict is usc (an others for that matter) that you have all this stuff done at the time of application? i am planning to do some classes next winter and summer provided all is going well with the apps... any advice? thanks 🙂

I suggest calling USC and discuss this with them. The staff is really friendly. Perhaps, you could send or email the description of the class to USC. Also, make sure you complete the majority of the pre-reqs before applying. I hope this helps.
