<p>It is difficult to predict the UC scholarships. I know several kids with equal or better profiles who did not get them. I have seen mentioned that only about 3% get the large ones. The pool is very competitive, people with ivy stats, national awards, etc. However, there are some departments who hand some out I think, so if you are attractive to the department it is possible. You would get one, not two?? I wouldn’t count on it if I were you. If you happen to be NMF you can get 1/2 tuition. You can look in the USC forum for threads where student report in of scholarships and the stats of admitted students. Also this thread:

<p>Merit needs higher stats and even with those unpredictable. We were surprised when a friend’s D with an ACT 35, Val of her class got NO merit from USC. she is now an eng’g student at MIT</p>

<p>what is your situation? if you need merit, apply to some schools where for sure you will get a LOT.</p>

<p>How’s your PSAT score and NM status? That may be the easier way to get USC scholarship.</p>
