Just got another update to my portal; turns out it was a request for winter grades rather than an SGR, so that’s a relief. Anyone know if they need an official transcript sent for this, or if I can upload an unofficial one? I’m planning on calling in any case tbh.
Hey fellow SCA applicants I have also been a nervous wreck with no news about being accepted or rejected! 
My financial aid changed. Mean anything?
Seems to be a positive sign. Congrats! @uscc2020

rising junior, marshall applicant from bay area, and still no activity on my portal =((
@smc2usc Yes, I’m coming from SDSU so I just followed the same plan from the classes offered here.
@SmartJarhead I got accepted yesterday and still haven’t gotten my financial aid estimate.
@rileyboi I think SCA is one of the last schools to give out decisions due to their extensive review process.

@WSDCWSDC Wow! Congratulations! Great to hear.
Today is deadline for incoming freshman to submit acceptances. Hopefully, by week’s end there will be a boatload of transfer offers out there!
Fight On!
@angeleno13 Hey I’m attending CSULB right now and applied to USC as a sophomore. What school did he apply for and why do you think he got rejected??
Realized today when gathering final grades for my current university that many of my GE’s that I thought wouldn’t count actually do. That is why I got an SGR. At the end of the year I will have more like 4/8 or 5/8 GE’s completed as an entering sophomore. Do you think that will help with an acceptance when they see my spring grades?
anyone hear from Thornton yet?
Financial aid should come within 7 days of getting accepted, it has been reported to be quicker than that on here already.
@CADREAMIN That’s awesome, thank you!
@SmartJarhead You’re welcome, thank you for your service! Hope it all works out great for you.
Viterbi is really keeping us on the edge of our seats
