USC has a special spot in my heart. It was the first school that accepted my daughter last admission cycle. My daughter was awarded Presidential scholarship but eventually chose an Ivy.
The packet was postmarked 1/24/14 (Friday) and we received it 1/27/14 (Monday). We are from SoCal. If I remembered correctly, there are people (near USC) that received it the next day after they were mailed, but majority received it 1/28/14 (Tuesday) and as late as 1/30/14. So be patient.
Although, they did something on the portal last year that hinted us who will get an scholarship interview invite.

By SoCal, do you mean in the Los Angeles area? There was a poster who claimed to have gotten it in the early afternoon yesterday, who seems to live in my area, so I’m super worried!
Hi everyone, first time poster here - sorry if this question has been clarifed, but do NMF scholarship recipients at USC find out about this at the same time as other scholarship finalists (Mork, Trustees, etc.) i.e. in January/February? Or do they find out in March/April with the rest of the decisions?
Hey guys, I did some quick research from last year’s Class of 2018 thread.
Those who were accepted had a message that “The committee has acted on your application and we have mailed notice of your decision.”
It appears that those who got the scholarship received this change, and those who didn’t receive the scholarship saw no change.
Moreover, the status update was on January 25, 2014— the Saturday after packets were sent out (the equivalent of today last year). However, the first people started noticing their changes in the morning (9:43 am, page 7 of the thread) so there’s no guarantee things will be the exact same this year.
does everyone have on their portal “youUSC is having trouble logging you in”. I think that after this goes away, there will be some kind of update in the portal for some of the applicants.
My portal has been working just fine and I’ve been able to log on/log off just as usual. Not sure if that’s a good or bad sign, or if it means nothing.
@FriendlyNerd888
well given the amount of people on here who can’t get into their portal, it looks like that’s maybe a good sign?
Did you apply before December 1?
Strange… I could log in earlier this morning but now I am having zero luck with the youSC portal site. I applied before December 1st so maybe it’s a good sign???
I was thinking the same thing haha but I don’t want to get ahead of myself. And yes, I applied in mid-October and I know that they have all necessary materials so I’m sure that my application has been considered. As of when I’m writing this, the portal looks the exact same though. I’ll update you guys if I see any change but for now I’m not going to jump to any conclusions.
What do you guys mean by can’t login? When you put in your password and username and answer the math question, it gives you an error when you press login?
