Can someone offer me some advice on USC financial aid?

<p>One. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread, but I've had this hanging on my mind for a while...</p>

<p>After submitting my SGR.. I received a letter late June saying I was admitted for Spring 2011 as a sophmore (maybe junior?) transfer, BUT... I didn't meet all the deadlines for financial aid. For example...:</p>

<p>FAFSA (due March 2nd): submitted January-ish
CSS Profile (due Feb 2nd): Submitted Feb 18th</p>

<p>Just submitted parents 1040, my non-filling statement, and custodial parent form a few days ago (electronically-love that feature). **** I waited to get my parents 2009 federal tax returns in April--then thinking I didn't have a shot to get in and let this slip until now (Lets say submitted July 16th)..</p>

<p>This is quite late for the css profile and the tax forms... I REALLY need financial aid as my efc was around 2000$.. do you think USC will still offer me the 100% financial need they tend to give on-time students? Or at least something close?</p>

<p>Thank you for reading this far, and YES i agree with you; this was a series of poor decisions and stupidity on my part and I pray it doesn't cost me a chance at this institution. I'm just looking for someone who has been through something similar that could share the their experience or advice. Thank you in advance for your help, and i will be checking this thread a lot and will keep it updated.</p>

<p>I would recommend searching the USC financial aid FAQ thread, <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/839970-faq-usc-financial-aid-2010-a-34.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/839970-faq-usc-financial-aid-2010-a-34.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There’s a “Search this Thread” button toward the upper right.</p>

<p>Basically, you definitely have a chance but it’s not certain. Maybe since you’re being admitted for Spring, you’ll have an advantage?</p>

<p>^^ Sorry… I think I stumbled on that thread doing a google search, and have no idea why I didn’t go there to ask too. Hopefully you’re right about the spring *fingers crossed</p>
