Are all acceptances right now for scholarship candidates?

<p>So I just got my acceptance letter (YAAY!) but there's no info on any scholarships...Does that mean I didn't get one? It's not a big deal to me, but I thought USC only sends out letters this early for candidates.</p>

<p>Also, just to let you all know, I did not ever get the "We have acted upon your application" status change. I briefly got the "We have forwarded your application" status for a few days and then it reverted back to the normal "We are in the process, April 1st" status. Voila, accepted! So there's hope - don't stress about the statuses!</p>

<p>The big scholarships require onsite interviews. I think that they send information about a week after the acceptance letter. It is safe to assume that everyone in the first wave of acceptances is under consideration for one of the two big scholarships.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks for the reply! Now it makes sense. I just assumed I wasn’t considered for anything since there was nothing in my packet, but then after thinking about it, I didn’t understand why I would even get an acceptance letter so early. Good to know it comes separately. I guess we’ll see what happens!</p>

<p>If you look at the stats thread, everyone accepted has a crazy high SAT</p>

<p>except for that one URM hah</p>

<p>Hey guys I have a quick question</p>

<p>when I try to log onto my USC undergrad application, it sends me to this website:
<a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/OASIS/Login.aspx[/url]”>https://camel2.usc.edu/OASIS/Login.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>what does that mean?</p>

<p>Bac/MD candidates also get their letters about this time - some of them will be scholarship candidates as well, but some receive early notification only because they are one of the group being interviewed for the Bac/MD program (a huge honor in itself).</p>

8

<p>Not necessarily. On Wednesday when the Caravan website trick worked, there was one person who posted that they only saw an acceptance notification, not a scholarship notification.</p>

<p>soadquake, if you are talking about 123collegeforme, that poster is a Bac/MD candidate.</p>

10

<p>I just called the USC admission office - they said scholarship decisions will be mailed “within two weeks”</p>

<p>good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>My son is a NM semifinalist and got an acceptance letter today. Assuming he ends up a finalist (and thus is eligible for the automatic Presidential scholarship) will he be invited to interview, or are the NM students just automatically given the merit scholarship without the interview?</p>

12

<p>I believe that National Merit Finalists do not require an interview to get the half-tuition award.</p>

13

<p>mom483…if your son receives a letter stating that he is being considered for a Presidential merit scholarship, he would be advised to go to the interview anyway, regardless of the fact that he’ll get Pres anyway through the NMF status.</p>

<p>A few Pres candidates are bumped up to Trustee.</p>

<p>Do you know what kinds of things would bump somebody up to a Trustee scholarship? And how many of them do they give out? (Just wondering if the odds would make it worth the trip out to LA)</p>
