<p>You never know so I'd go for it. There just may be something in your ec's that catches an adcom's eye. If you have everything ready, send it- it can't hurt. At least you would be finished!</p>
<p>most likely you will not be invited to interview for a scholarship, but you never know.</p>
<p>Someone said the essay is important.</p>
<p>Umm who else realized last night that the Alumni Scholarships were due on the 10th and that they required a SEPARATE APP?? I churned out an essay in 20 minutes, so we'll see what happens I guess.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just realized that after the deadlines have passed that there were scholarships that required a separate application.</p>
<p>D:</p>
<p>when would they notify us about interviews/ scholarship info?</p>
<p>and also, if they do contact us for one, that means we're in, right?</p>
<p>They will usually send you the acceptance first- then you get the notice of interview. If anyone is interested to see stats of those who got scholarship interviews, take a look at this thread. Most of those who posted before 3/1 (with some overlap) got scholarship interviews. </p>
<p>what do you mean the scholarship required a sepereate app?</p>
<p>There are some special scholarships like the Scion Scholarship (for legacies) that require a special app. </p>
<p>Turning in the regular app by Dec. 10 qualifies you for USC General Scholarships- no special app for that. (Trustee, Presidential, Deans)</p>
<p>well, i applied for the alumni scholarship, but i'm not sure if i'll be called back for an interview. do u think i have a chance?</p>

<p>any thoughts?</p>
<p>im hoping my 35 will pull through for a trustee! j'adore USC!!!</p>
<p>wow..i just realized i have a lot of ecs lol</p>
<p>holy frikkin crap dude....I hope you didn't put ALL of those down in your app. A lot of adcoms told me that a long long laundry list generally doesn't look very good.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don't think either of you will get trustee or presidential simply because of your standardized test scores. Despite what people say, USC is a whore for high SAT/ACT scores. All the trustee/presidential I know are well into the 2200's SAT. I don't know about ACT though. Bump them up though, and you'll be good, especially Cameron K. Although I also hope you didn't put all that on your app. Might give the wrong impression to the adcom.</p>
<p>So the Trustee/Presidential scholarships are only based on SAT scores or do they look at ECs and other factors as well?</p>
<p>Last year I got invited to interview for Trustee and I had a 32 ACT so I don't think they base everything strictly on test scores.</p>
