<p>WHY IS ADMISSIONS ASKING FOR MY SENIOR MID-TERM GRADE REPORT?</p>
<p>Most applicants are asked for senior mid-term grades. Applicants will receive a standard form letter or email asking for these grades to be sent as soon as they are available. Most decisions will be pending based on arrival of these grades.</p>

<p>Will I be fine if it mailed my teacher/counselor recs to the following address??:</p>
<p>(Paper applications go to-)
USC Office of Admission
File No. 51158
Los Angeles, California 90074-1158</p>
<h2>and also, Will I be fine if I left the barcode spot empty?</h2>
<p>Yes and yes, it will be fine. Although there may be a delay, USC will route mail to the proper file, no matter where you sent it (to a USC address.) Your forms will be expedited if you put your USC id in the barcode spot but it will still be OK if you did not.</p>
<p>Q: I applied to Marshall [or film school, etc.] at USC. How does the Admissions Office decide what to do with my application and whether I get into Marshall [or film school, etc.]?</p>
<p>A: Your application is first evaluated for general admittance to CLAS. If you are accepted by CLAS, then your application is evaluated by Marshall [or film school, etc.] for acceptance.</p>

<p>My D was contacted about scheduling a Town and Gown Scholarship interview, but has not received any other information from USC regarding acceptance. Can she assume that she has been accepted, or has a good chance of being accepted? What would be the possible timing on acceptance notification in this case?</p>
<p>I just had a very nice, face to face conversation with a USC admissions Rep this afternoon (training as a host for USC). When I told her that I frequent CC, she laughed and brought up the recent ghetto thread- yes, they do read CC. However, we also talked about a few of the common questions going on right now. Here are the answers:</p>
<p>If I have gotten accepted, but didn't get a Trustee/Presidential Scholarship, what does that mean?</p>
<p>It means one of three things: You are getting a Dean's scholarship, You are a National Merit Finalist, or you have a great application, but USC unfortunately can't give you scholarship money. For the last, you were admitted early so that you could know that USC acknowledges all of your hard work and still wants you to come, even if it can't give you a scholarship.</p>
<p>What does my change of status mean?</p>
<p>Exactly what it says. Read the words. That is all that it means. The rep I talked to actually hates the new update website, because she feels that it adds way to much angst about the process. </p>
<p>Hope some of that is helpful!</p>
<p>Wait...if we're NMF can we not get a Trustee/Presidential scholarship?</p>
<p>You can definitely get Trustee/Presidential with NMF, that information was for the people who didn't get invited for Trustee/Presidential but are still NMF.</p>
<p>garyslick: There is no guarantee that because you D was contacted for T&G interview that there is acceptance in the works. They interview independently of admissions. If you check the fine print, it probably says something along those lines somewhere on the original application. Best of luck - I hope she gets it!</p>
<p>Thanks - already had the interview; and they explained the process at that time.</p>
<p>Nikara: Do you know, based on contact with admissions office, have all Dean's been sent out?</p>
<p>I don't know- my contact with admissions was really only that conversation.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the great info Nikara! Do you work in the admissions office?</p>
<p>I saw on a previous post that a letter of recommendation is required for the trustee/presidential scholarship, is this true? I don't remember reading that anywhere in my letter. HELP!</p>
<p>I'm an RA and I work at the Emergency Services and Fire Safety Office. No official ties with admission. No, you don't need to bring anything more to the interview- everything was included in the application.</p>
<p>Thanks for all you great help. You have so much knowledge and everyone appreciates it.</p>
<p>quick question...when do adcoms start reviewing international applicants? I heard that they review applicants based on state? does that mean that international applicants who submitted by jan 10....are last?</p>
<p>When should freshman applicants send in our letters of rec?</p>
<p>Shouldn't you have done that like...forever ago? The teacher evaluations, right? You're only supposed to send in one, though. I sent it in a little before my application.</p>
<p>Really? I went ahead and sent in two, just for the heck of it. Hope it doesn't affect anything...</p>
<p>I think two is alright, but no more than that.</p>
