<p>socks, did u use <a href="http://caravan.esd.usc.edu/resrsvp/Default.aspx%5B/url%5D">http://caravan.esd.usc.edu/resrsvp/Default.aspx</a> to check?</p>
<p>can anyone who got accepted last year enlighten us about this whole deal?</p>
<p>it doesn't say anything about scholarships on mine. is it on the main page or what? where do i go?</p>
<p>edit: nevermind, i tried to reserve for explore usc and it says i'm up for presidential. yay!</p>
<p>socks, I'm not sure but a friend of mine who's up for presidential also has different interview dates than me (her's is beginning march) and mine is feb 22nd-23rd or 26-27th so yeah I don't know if they bump people up?</p>
<p>my interview dates are for the first week of march</p>
<p>My daughter has not gotten one yet. I really thought they would not send them out like this. I certainly hope she has a chance of getting in. She has a 2090 on the sat and did 3 satII. she has got really good grades. Top 10% of her class with a 4.3 gpa. All of her classes every year in high school were honors and ap's if they were offered. She volunteers alot at the Hospital as her major is premed. She took all academics. 4 yrs english, math, spanish, history, and 3 years science. A's in all her classes. Some B's in the AP classes. I have all her scores posted on her area so if anyone can let me know what they think I would appreciate it.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>worried mom</p>
<p>i'm sure she's got a good chance of getting in, but i'm not sure about scholarship.</p>
<p>No one should be freaking out if they haven't been accepted yet. The system works in waves with acceptances coming out all the way through to April.</p>
<p>wait how do you get dean scholarship?</p>
<p>p.s: i knew i should have put history as my major instead of biochem</p>
<p>i hope she has a chance. It would be nice if she got a scholarship too.</p>
<p>madamebovary: I'm pretty sure that if you arent accepted to the major that you specify they cycle you through as undecided...I think...Sfgiants?</p>
<p>was accepted a few days ago!!
i'm still so excited. </p>
<p>does anyone know what they ask during the interview for the scholarships?
any hard.. questions?
and how long the interview takes..?</p>
<p>boooo! I checked online with the caravan Explore USC Reservation thing and I have a Presidential scholarship. I really need a Trustee!</p>
<p>Anyway, the interview is supposed to be 10-20 minutes with standard questions.</p>
<p>gcards1 told me:
The interview wasn't bad as it only lasted 10 or 20 minutes I believe. I hadn't interviewed with them regularly, but basically it was a panel made up of a current student holding a scholarship, a faculty in your propspective area of study, and someone else I can't remember. They asked questions regarding my app and my interests. Certain questions did pop up regarding marketing which somehow sort of arose from me talking about my interests (I was looking at the Marshall School of Business). I thought that was a bit weird, but in the end I got the presidential scholarship, which I had interviewed for. Out of, I believe, the 6 from my high school, nearly all of us got the scholarship we interviewed for, while one person was bumped up to a full for the film school.</p>
<p>soo... shouldn't be like bearing your soul to a committee, I don't think... ?</p>
<p>i hear that for the interview, they ask you questions about 16th century russian czars.</p>

</p>
<p>Yep, that's right. Though I'm not sure how that interacts with scholarships...
That is, if you don't get a scholarship with your first choice major, I'm not sure if you are considered for a scholarship for an undecided major.
The only thing I know for sure is that you are considered for admission for your second choice major.</p>
<p>When did you guys find your your scholarship interview dates and stuff? I got my acceptance letter, and it says I'm up for the presidential on the caravan website thing but I have yet to receive a letter about scholarships or anything.</p>

Does anyone know if its possible to get two scholarships? If I had the National Merit scholarship could I also get the Presidential or trustee?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Nah, you can't add the two scholarships unfortunately. The National Merit is essentially an automatic Presidential. You can be bumped up to Trustee though, of course.</p>
<p>what if you applied undecided in the first place? does that equal no scholarship at all? i tried to add a major after i sent in my app but it was too late =/</p>
<p>I haven't gotten a letter yet either. But online at the caravan website, it says I'm up for the Presidential Scholarship and the dates that they have you register for are the dates for your interview. The interview will be on the second day from 9 AM - 12 PM.</p>
<p>Mayyybe, they'll correct mine to a Trustee instead of a Presidential on the actual letter! Haha, one can be hopeful.</p>
<p>thanks funkyeah : )</p>
<p>i almost peed in my pants thinking about 16th century russian czars.</p>
