<p>um ya... you're getting a $25,528 GRANT, and $9,708 from the Cal GRANT, oh wow and i just noticed you are also getting a $4,260 Pell GRANT
ha you should be very pleased, that is a hell of a lot of grant money that you don't have to pay back, what more do you want? lol ;]</p>
<p>This is basically a "what are my chances" thread where the OP has a 4.0UW GPA, 2100 SAT, and has cured cancer, but still wonders whether or not s/he will get into his/her dream school haha :D</p>
<p>exactly lol sorry to be mean but i really hope you aren't complaining about your fin aid</p>
<p>^the OP was not complaining, he/she was merely asking a question </p>
<p>yea that's a really good package, congrats!</p>
<p>thats kinda like me. basically ur family can either take out the loan, or just pay wutever the loan amount is :D</p>
<p>that's SUCH a good package, if i'd gotten that, i definitely would've chosen usc.</p>
<p>I have to certainly agree with 2 + 2 = 5. I mean, c'mon, you're taking out roughly 6500 a year in loan and work study for a university that costs 46k! Of course it's an awesome package. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but this thread is so an attempt to gloat. Sheesh...</p>
<p>i second that</p>
<p>Yes, this is the "gold standard" financial aid package. As good as it gets. A "free ride." </p>
<p>USC (and most other schools) always leave a small gap (here $2646), even in their best packages, that you can fill with summer earnings.</p>
<p>I woulda run down the street naked if I had gotten that package...I think you are getting more money than the trustee scholars!
Congrats!</p>
<p>It's actually not 46k anymore. They've raised it to 49k, or at least that's what the financial aid office said.</p>
<p>that is a very nice financial package. I am surprized you are "asking". And if you cancel your health club subscription and use the gym, you will have money to put toward the "shortfall"</p>
