<p>national merit semi-finalist ? automatically gets it...
and ur would be like next in line with your stats and commended i believe.</p>

<p>lol, so occdiental has like 10+ scholarships for about $5000-10k, pretty good</p>

<p>Two years ago, family member with approximately same stats got $4000 a year in scholarship $$. Doesn't matter if you're from out of state b/c USC is a private school.</p>

<p>how will getting one B/B+ first semester senior year affect scholarship chances??</p>

<p>If I remember right, they'll probably make the crucial part of their decision without the benefit of seeing your first semester senior-year grades. My guess is the B/B+ won't kill you ... but it's just my guess.</p>

<p>By the way, they are NOT required to give you a scholarship just because you are a national merit scholar or commended. I had relatively same stats, also NM Commended, and there was no scholarship for me. I did get a pretty good financial aid package, though.</p>

<p>But maybe they are required to give you a scholarship if you are a NMS winner.</p>
