Doreen Thode
Assistant Director for Transfer Admission

Hi, I'm Doreen, your University of San Diego Admissions Counselor. 

As a first-generation and transfer student, I know how complex the college application process can be. I pride myself on being a resource for students, and I look forward to working with you as you navigate the next steps on your educational journey!

Why USD?
USD has so much to offer! Not only is it one of the most beautiful campuses in the world, but it’s in a vibrant city where everything is famously about 15 minutes away. USD also offers a distinct educational experience, combining a liberal arts philosophy with career-focused majors in engineering and business.

My top tip for the admissions process:
There is no one path to or through college. Reflect and figure out what is important to you in your education. Don't compare yourself to others, and remember: you got this!
