<p>I heard that students have to submit some financial statement as a part of admission or ist that just internationals?</p>
<p>Only International applicants are required to submit a statement of financial support.</p>
<p>I just submitted my application, but I’m a bit confused on the part about the additional forms.</p>
<p>For the Transcript, does that form have to be submitted as well? Or can we simply get an official transcript from our counselor and mail that in an envelope with our other forms?
Also, is it okay for the teacher recommendations to be sealed in an envelope by our teacher and then placed inside a larger envelope with our other forms?</p>
<p>The transcript form is optional - your plan to get an official transcript from your counselor is perfect.</p>
<p>And putting the sealed recommendations in a larger envelope with your other forms is also perfect. </p>
<p>You are my favorite applicant! :)</p>
<p>Hello, i was home-schooled in Pakistan. i am planning to apply to USC but the problem is that i have HSSC(Higher secondary school certificate),which is the official high school diploma in pakistan.i dont know wether USC recognizes HSSC (they are attested by the ministry of education:P) i am worried because most of the student,who apply for USC in Pakistan have done A level’s .my rank in the city was 6th out of some 13000+ home-schooled candidates with 2130 on SAT reasoning taking 3 SAt II’s in december and one in january.:)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>alamemom - thank you for all your help!
From the father of a wonderful, but slightly procrastinating son.</p>
<p>Haha! You are welcome (and I am watching MY slightly procrastinating son work on his homework right now… so I know JUST how you feel 
).</p>
<p>I think they have Senioritis! I wonder how closely USC looks at first semester senior year grades.</p>
<p>^ For those selected for scholarship interviews (about 800 - 1000 applicants), they don’t even need to submit first semester grades - they will be accepted the before they have to be submitted. Everyone else (about 34,000 applicants) will have to submit mid-year grades… so don’t let senioritis set in!!!</p>
<p>^Cool. When do they notify those selected for scholarship interviews? It must be kind of soon, seeing as first semester grades are just around the corner.</p>
<p>:) I love it when applicants suddenly see why everything has to be in by December 1st!</p>
<p>Yes, the notifications will be the last week of January and first week of February. So they have to get all those 80,000 documents that go with the 20,000 applications sorted and matched, go through 20,000 applications, set aside a pile for scholarship consideration, choose the candidates from that pile, assemble admission packets and scholarship packets, and get everything out by about the 20th of January.</p>
<p>The interviews are held (at FUN 2-day Explore sessions!) from the third week of February to the firsat week of March, and scholarship winners are notified by about the third week of March.</p>
<p>To add to all those documents are the other thousands of freshmen applications which will be received by the later date. Last year there were about 10,000 applications from transfer students to attend SC. These arrive in late January. </p>
<p>Just imagine the committee considering about 36,000 freshmen applications, my estimate, plus 10,000 transfer applications!</p>
<p>“The interviews are held (at FUN 2-day Explore sessions!) from the third week of February to the firsat week of March, and scholarship winners are notified by about the third week of March.”</p>
<p>Will the winners be expected to give their answers immediately, or will they have a chance to wait until April 1st when all of the other admissions decisions will be in?</p>
<p>Everyone has until May 1st to decide if they will attend.</p>
<p>I’m slightly concerned about repeating some information in different parts of my application. Will my Part II be read for my Bacc/MD admission as well?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>@dignified,
The May 1 date is a national date. May 1 for notifications of attendance to ALL colleges in the country.</p>
<p>^bump on my previous query, and here’s another one: where do I find the status check, i.e. the list that says what they’ve received. Is it on the Main Menu of the Part II? In that case I see no updates…</p>
<p>random, is there any activity on the USC Bacc/MD thread? The extent of my knowledge on the Bacc/MD application is that it is due today - sorry!</p>
<p>@random,
Sign into USC Connect. On the page that comes up, click on the Admissions Document box. A new window will open that lists the documents they have received, and possibly the documents that are still required.</p>
