<p>did anyone who got accepted around the same time receive a scholarship letter? if not, does anyone know when would come. Also, did anyone who got accepted in late january and early february get in but did not receive either a scholarship or an offer to interview for the BacMD program? im asking because so far all the people i know that have gotten in either received a scholarship interview OR an interview for the bacmd program OR both.</p>
<p>mbe: did you get your letter today? where did you live? supposedly mine was sent out feb 3...but i'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail... ughhh.
i think if you get accepted early, you also get a scholarship letter. check exploreusc.</p>
<p>yeah, i got my letter yesterday (2-7) and i live in socal.</p>
<p>mbe did you check explore usc yet for your dates?</p>

<p>General Comments: Pretty disappointed that I didnt get an interview for the Bac/MD program...the letter came the day before the packet which definitely put a damper on the excitement =(</p>
<p>Also...those who applied by the Dec. 10 date were automatically entered for scholarships right? I checked the exploreusc site that was given somewhere on page 5 and my visit dates didnt match up with the scholarship ones. Does that mean I'm not getting one for sure? I'm not sure if financial aid alone is really going to make USC more affordable.</p>
<p>If you're in consideration for a special scholarship, USC will send you acceptance earlier. At least that's what it said on the website.</p>
<p>i just got a letter inviting me to apply to the Freshman science honors program at USC, but i didnt get the actual acceptance letter yet. But after reading the letter, it kinda implies that im in, but i can't tell!!! anyone know
?!!</p>
<p>skysongx: i'm in the same position as you. yes- it means you didn't get the interview for presidential or trustee, but that you might still be being considered for other scholarships. the fact that you (and i ) were accepted early means that usc really wants us to go there, which, i hope, gives us a better chance for the other scholarships that they haven't announced!</p>
<p>headsouth: do you have the link to the page on the website that you mentioned?</p>
<p>Sure do. Here's the link, and here's what it says:</p>
<p>When will I hear if I've been admitted?</p>
<p>All freshman admission applicants will be informed of our admission decisions by April 1st. Students being considered for merit scholarships will be notified sooner. Most transfer applicants will be informed of our admission decisions by the end of June.</p>
<p>oh i see. i was notified last week- but i'm not being considered for trustee or presidential. so, i guess what you just stated supports what i was assuming- that i'm most likely being considered for something else.</p>

Why I think I was accepted/rejected: Not good enough?</p>
<p>I found out I was rejected through my brother, whose friend works at the admissions office and was able to check for me.</p>
<p>^...how could you be rejected?
That's not even possible.</p>
<p>they don't make final decisions about if people are rejected until at least march... so therefore, delete your post. because you're a liar. k?</p>
<p>callmeAZ, I'd definitely not trust your bro's friend. If he's a student at 'SC, he can get expelled for revealing decisions like that.</p>
<p>Well, I hope you're right, but that's what they told me and I trust them... And don't be a dick and assume I'm lying. "k?"</p>
