<p>I am a transferring applicant for the fall 2011 semester at USC from a community college, and due to my misunderstanding about the deadline of fafsa and CSS profile for transferring students (I was looking at the "continuing students' deadline" on their website the whole time although I am considered a "new student" at USC...), I missed the deadline of Feb 2nd. Although I have already submitted both applications and handed in my 2010 tax return along with the W-2 to their financial aid office, I am scared to death now that I might not be able to receive the full money I need to attend USC due to my late submission.</p>
<p>I have more than enough units and finished all the prerequisites to transfer there, and have GPA of 4.0. It is just so sad to think about the possibility of not being able to go there after all the hard work of last 2 years due to my stupid mistake in the last minute... My EFC according to fafsa is around 8000 and there is no way for me to attend USC without the school's grants and scholarships.</p>
<p>If anybody has any information, can you please tell me what my chances are of receiving FA from USC and if I do, how much am I likely to receive? I am desperate. Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>whisper11, Financial aid doesn’t really work on a “chances” basis, it works on a dollars and cents and deadlines basis. Here is the answer I posted to your identical question on theTransfer forum:
<p>Thanks for your reply. I think I’m going to call the FA office Monday.</p>
<p>alamemom, </p>
<p>Thanks for replying on both of the pages. Since it’s confusing (and it’s what I did…), I’ll continue on my updates in the USC 2011 Transfer Thread :)</p>
