<p>So I did Part 1 of the app a while back which should have gotten me the discount. I managed to turn in my Part 2 yesterday even though the site was really, really slow. I'm positive that my app was turned in correctly, but what's worrying me is the status of my fee. For other schools, right after I submitted the app and fee it showed up charged on my dad's credit card. I also turned in my UC app yesterday and already got that payment confirmation, but I have yet to get one for USC. Is there a place online to check if they've received the fee? Do they email it once they do?</p>
<p>Did you enter credit card information when you submitted Part 2? </p>
<p>If you used a credit card, the cardholder can call the 800-number on the back of the card and ask for a recent transaction listing or log into their credit card account to see recent transactions.</p>
<p>If you have already done that (and it sounds as though you might have), it could be that the system is overwhelmed and will update after the rush ends later tonight.</p>
<p>If you did not enter credit card information, email and FAX right away to ask how to make the payment.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>The same thing happened to us. My daughter submitted her app on 11/22/10 but the credit card transaction didn’t post until yesterday. Meanwhile we called USC and they said if there was any problem with the application fee they would notify the student by mail. Give it a few more days.</p>
<p>My credit card hasn’t been charged yet and my D submitted her app online on 11/30. I think they just process the fee charges later (perhaps manually?) rather than right away like some other schools do.</p>
<p>Update: USC application fee charge went through today. 3 days after application submitted.</p>
