I might miss the deadline today for USC deposit because I don’t have a credit card and can’t reach my parents! What will happen if I miss the deadline? I already submitted my Intent to Register form, but no deposit yet.
Help!
I am not sure anyone here will know the answer. Is the admissions office still open? I would try to call them right away.
You can’t reach your parents? Is there an emergency? SIR is most important - I suppose you can send an email to admissions explaining whatever the problem is…or you can call them in the morning. It will be fine. Sorry to be harsh, but why aren’t you and your parents prepared for this? This is a pretty big event.
Don’t wait any longer people, get your SIR in, computers/networks can go down too!
@CADREAMIN I was admitted to many schools and had trouble deciding where to deposit to. Do you think that since USC doesn’t have a waitlist, I can submit my deposit later without a problem?
You need to call them, do you have a Venmo account? Can you contact a sibling who has a credit card? a aunt or uncle? Contact USC I am sure they are many twitter and Facebook and live chat
@repaihe23r1ivers You need to contact them asap in writing or via a phone call and let them know. But if you are indecisive and multi-depositing (which frankly was my first thought) you need to pick one and move forward, you cannot double commit - your signed SIR (and common app) prevents this at every school without risk of being denied at both. Don’t think because of covid schools are desperate. Many are not. Not being able to contact your parents or find someone with a cc you can use doesn’t sound that convincing. Sorry, but not being able to make up your mind is not a valid excuse to not pay deposit. It’s risky at best. I guess you could have asked for an extension, but should have done that before today. Get this behind you - it will be such a relief!
Call your parents cell, ask another relative, neighbor, or friend. You need to send a deposit to secure your spot
Be sure your parents are on board with USC.
If I can, I’m looking to SIR to UCB, UCLA, and USC. I’m only submitting deposit to one Common App school, so is that okay?
Of course, USC is my top pick, followed by UCLA and UCB.
Please some-one answering me before 11:59!
Help! I need assistance immediately! I have 3 hours left!
You can’t deposit at more than one school.
Have your parents agreed to let you go to USC? Why aren’t they paying your deposit? Why did you wait until the last minute and where are they? Something about this situation rings false.
You can’t afford (or your parent’s don’t want to pay for) USC and you aren’t in UCB or UCLA yet. Posters try to help here, not cool to waste people’s time. Good luck wherever you end up. UCSC and UCD are great schools.
@CADREAMIN Wow, surprised you figured out that my parents don’t want to pay for USC deposit because they won’t let me go there in first place. I wanted to increase negotiation time with my parents because I really love that school. Also, UCs WL came out early few days ago for me though due to corona-virus (I would assume) for my top public school, if you wanted to know. Guess I’ll just head to my state’s schools in that case.
Well if you got into those schools you mentioned, you have some great options. Sorry, but the phony credit card story you started with made it hard for us to help you. But it sounds like you have to work through this with your parents anyway. Pick one of the many good choices you have!
