<p>When does spring rush begin usually?</p>
<p>Is it during the first week of classes or second?</p>
<p>How hard is it for an international student to get FA? </p>
<p>NOTE: This is a four-year-old thread. It is a good idea to start a new thread with new questions, because other posters may read earlier posts and think they are current questions :)</p>
<p>As for your question, International applicants are NOT eligible for need-based financial aid at USC. They are eligible for merit aid, however competition for the large merit awards is very difficult. Good luck.</p>

<p>Wow – nice thread necro. Thanks for pointing that out @alamemom, I assumed it was a bit more current than that (interesting read though). But darnit, I still don’t know when spring rush starts ;).</p>
