do you get financial aid before you pick your college?

<p>For USC: </p>

<p>If you submit your financial aid applications (CSS/Profile and FAFSA) by the February 2nd deadline and all supporting documents (copies of tax returns) in a timely manner, your financial aid package will be presented before the commitment deadline of May 1st.</p>

<p>If there were delays with your documents or they requested additional information and your package is not ready, you can request and extension to make your commitment deposit until your aid package is ready for you to review.</p>
