<p>For those of you who were wondering:</p>
<p>I just got off the phone with admissions and financial aid, and they both said that we should receive scholarship and finaid packages by the first week of April.</p>
<p>Sweet, thanks for the info!</p>
<p>I was able to check my fin. aid package today.</p>
<p>how??!! .</p>
<p>I think on SIG, there's some link at the top right (MyFinancialAid, methinks) that you can click, and it takes you to your fin. aid awards. Unfortunately, mine still says unavailable.</p>
<p>so does mine... :( But if I am correct, I beleive Edieee received his decision a while ago</p>
<p>i just recieved mine in the mail today, i live in maryland. I was a little disappointed though, my efc was 25 thousand which makes University of Maryland a lot more attractive now.</p>
<p>when did you get your acceptance N1RVANA?</p>
<p>my financial aid package still says unavailable, but it also says it hasn't been updated since february 15. i received my notification of admission the first week of february and am a dean's scholar, like eddiee.</p>
<p>I checked mine online at OASIS (my sig site is so messed up so I never use that).</p>
<p>What userid and password did you use at OASIS (i'm not asking for your password, but how you received it, etc). </p>
<p>Are you using the 10-digit USCid, or the "username" that you can establish via SIG. (We are using the username/password for SIG, but that same userid/password do not work for Oasis).</p>
<p>We can logon to SIG, but for Financial Info, it just has the FAFSA, CSS, and Tax Return info. It does not show the USCneed amount, etc.</p>
<p>For oasis, your username is your usc id number. The password is you DOB in MM/DD/YYYY format. I think. Oasis will ask you to create a new password, you must create a 6 digit numerical password went it asks you to do so.</p>
<p>USC issues a new ID once you're admitted.
I used that ID to log into Oasis.</p>
<p>USC did not issue me a new id when I got admitted. I still have the same id that I used to apply, and that's the id that was written in my admissions letter...</p>
<p>My son's USCID is the same as when he applied. It did not change. He has been accepted, and interviewed for the P/S. </p>
<p>I finally got into OASIS:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.usc.edu/oasis%5B/url%5D">www.usc.edu/oasis</a>
userid:USCID (the std 10 digit USCID)
password: MMDDYY (of student's birthday)</p>
<p>What was throwing me off, was that someone incorrectly posted that the password is MMDDYYYY - with the full year. Not possbile - because the password field in Oasis will ONLY take 6 characters. (be prepared to change your PIN to some new 6 digit string.). </p>
<p>Now, i can get into Oasis, and it has much better information than SIG. Night and Day, the difference. Still doesn't have my USC-Need amount, but i did not expect that quite yet, anyway.</p>
<p>sorry, I thought it was MMDDYYYY...</p>
<p>No apology necessary. You at least listed the correct URL. I greatly appreciate your information. It was not until i kept trying the password and realized that it STOPPED putting astericks after the 6th one. I then re-thought it, and tried with MMDDYY, and bingo. Again, no apology necessary. Your intentions were good. Thanks.</p>

<p>I just got my "calgrant rejection" in the mail... :( I'm from a family of six, and my parents make more money than the price ceiling. ugh. WIll USC be more considerate in giving aid? And does anyone know how generous Thornton is in giving scholarships?</p>
<p>guidez - cntv and thornton have a couple of scholarships for freshman. i don't think they are at all need-based; they are performance-based. so based on your guitar dept. head's comment, you could definitely be in the running for one :-)</p>
<p>the rest of the financial aid package is efc dependent. if your efc is high, there will be a higher percentage of loans (unless you get Dean's or other scholarship). But USC is a school that is 100% committed to funding you somehow. Don't worry. </p>
<p>If you take a lot of loans, you'll have no trouble paying 'em back when you're a music star! ;-)</p>
<p>hahahaha, those musicians sure a rich! lol</p>
<p>Now what would a high EFC be?</p>
