<p>So I just got my acceptance letter from sc and I was just curious how much money do you guys think I would get. Money is a big priority for me because my family is struggling financially. My EFC on the fafsa came out to be 0. Here are my stats also if it would help. Thanks for all the feed back everyone!</p>

<p>SAT Is: M: 750 CR: 660 W: 690
SAT IIs: M2: 790 PHYZ: 730 CHEM: 700
GPA: UW: 3.97 W: 4.35
Rank: 22/550
Major: Electrical Engineering (Computers)
Extracurricular Activities: Typical membership in clubs and stuff. Most notable ones are: Vice President of Model UN, President of Physics Branch in the school science club, lead singer of a rock band, 150 hours of community service working as an audio/video technician, and captain of intermural basketball team.
Awards: Most of them pretty common with the exception of being a boy's state nominee.
Self-Evaluation of Essays: I would probably give them a B. I just used the exact same one as my UC's and I didn't spend as much time on them as I would like.
Self-Evaluation of Recs: The teachers loved me and one was a USC alum so I think it turned out pretty good.
Hook, if any: Nope. Typical Asian American Male Engineering applicant.</p>

<p>Congrats on the acceptance! On Monday you should get a letter telling you which scholarship you are being considered for. The important things to think about now are related to preparing for the interview. Make sure to look over your application before you go interview, because they may ask questions about some of the things you put down, especially in the quick takes section. When you get more info, we will give you a clearer idea!</p>

How did it go? I heard that you have to give a minimal contribution of like 4-5k your freshman year, and then it progressively increases from there. And, if you get a full scholarship, it deducts from your financial aid.</p>
