questions...

<p>So, I got all of my college decision except one. Of course, USC is my top choice, and I'd like to finalize my decision to become a Trojan.</p>

<p>Only things that stops me from sending deposit are</p>

<p>1) money. Let's say my estimated FM contribution (EFC) is 0 and IM contribution is 6,000. (5 family members, $30,000 income) How much, briefly, grant/scholarship/loan would I be able to get? (I do not have financial award this year)</p>

<p>2) Grades - I cannot afford grade deflation, for personal reasons (graduate school program, adv program, etc). How are they?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>1.. USC gives out a TON of money, i think you're set.. just be patient about the finaid letter.. i called and they said first week of april so this week...</p>

<p>2.. no idea</p>

<p>work hard...real hard. you will do fine. i dont think there's grade inflation at usc.</p>

<p>I have not worked hard at all to get near a 4.0, if you are receiving an academic scholarship it should be easy to pull a high gpa.</p>

<p>work hard, go to class and you get the grade
there is a fair amount of slackers in every class</p>

<p>Thank you all!</p>
