Application Problem

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>So basically, I sent in my application on December 6th to meet the scholarship deadline. I sent in all my test scores, transcripts, letters of rec, ect. on or before December 11th. I checked Gateway, but found out that I could not log-in. I figured that since other people couldn't log-in then it wasn't a big deal because I knew I sent in everything on time. Turns out that last week I found on the letter from USC confirming that they received my Part I Online Application that there was a different USC ID number than the one on all my other stickers/letters/USC things. I tried that number on Gateway and, lo and behold, it worked. Under the document section I saw that only my Part I Application and transcript were listed. Last week I sent an e-mail explaining my situation and that there were probably two different files for my name. Today I received a letter stating that I'm missing a bunch of stuff and that this is the last letter they will send me regarding missing components from my application. My mom calls USC (because I am at school and don't yet know about this letter) and they tell her that they will merge my two files.</p>

<p>So, in short, my question is since they only now have my complete application, is there still any chance for me to be considered for a scholarship? I really want to go to USC, but I'm afraid of putting a financial burden on my family.</p>

<p>Some stats… if it’ll even help
GPA: 3.83 (UW) 4.25 (W) (for Freshman-Junior year)
ACT: 33
1st Semester Senior Classes:
Photography A
AP Stats A
Multivariable Calc. A
AP Art Studio A-
Art Studio A- (so... I dropped AP Art Studio after the quarter so I guess my school put both on my transcript...)
AP Gov. A
Shakespeare English A-
1st Semester Senior GPA: 4.0 (UW) 4.57 (W)</p>

<p>EC (just the more important ones): Girl Scout (Silver and Gold Awards), Youth Orchestra, various Church community service activities, 2 years varsity softball</p>

<p>I also applied to CNTV for Interactive Media. I was wondering if, since my regular application files were screwed up, that maybe my application there was also missing the transcript and test scores that they were suppose to get from my regular application? Their interactive media program seems like the perfect fit for me but I understand that getting into USC CNTV is extremely difficult, and now with this whole issue….. :( Feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Use this link to contact your Admissions Counselor NOW and ask him/her these questions. They can help you figure out what's going on and whether you can still be considered for merit or FAid scholarships. Good luck! Your HS counselor may also be able to help contacting them & sorting all of this out.</p>

<p>A few emails and phone calls later, all of my things are in one place and apparently I am still being considered for scholarships. Although all the "big" scholarship applicants have already been chosen, I can only hope that maybe, just maybe, I could be up for one too..</p>
