<p>I didnt submit my USC financial aid until after i got in (didn't expect to) and only recently got my full scholarship information, and i didn't commit until the last day (was deciding between here and NYU).
Im a national merit finalist and i designated USC as my first choice; i got my Presidential Scholarship and in the letter it says i can apply to Birnkrant, but would it already be filled at this point?</p>
<p>Thanks...see some of you guys at USC :)</p>
<p>It’s worth trying. I would definitely list it, especially since you have scholarship designation. That may be the ticket to get you in.</p>
<p>If you don’t get Birnkrant, it’s not the worst thing in the world! Hundreds of students don’t get their first housing choices and manage just fine. Something for everyone fretting about housing to keep in perspective :)</p>
<p>As a Fluor-ee, I laughed at my friends in Birnkrant doing homework in the hallways (where they, ironically, have AC) during those hot summer days and being forced to sleep in layers during those surprisingly cold winter nights (yeah, I was shocked at how cold it got at night around here).</p>
