<p>Does anyone know how easy or hard it is to get into this school? The undergraduate major is called "Public Policy, Management, and Planning" How hard is it to get into compared to other schools within USC?</p>
<p>And does USC accept by school? And does it seem like USC gave less scholarship money to this school?</p>
<p>Also, any other information about SPPD anyone would like to share? It can be about anything relating to the school. Thanks :)</p>
<p>I’d like to know the answers to these questions too!</p>
<p>USC doesn’t allocate scholarship money by school (not need-based, anyway)
Merit scholarships have a certain amount given to each school - the smaller schools get less, and since SPPD is very small, they only get a small amount.</p>
<p>I can’t say for sure how hard it is to get into SPPD, since I dont know too many people in it. I am planning on picking up a minor in real estate development which is part of SPPD though</p>
<p>School of Policy, Planning and Development…</p>
<p>In the fall of 2010 there were about 360 undergraduate students in this school. Marshall School of Business had over 3000 undergraduates if you wish to compare with a larger school. </p>
<p>Financial aid is determined by other factors, not the school where a student is enrolled. Merit scholarships, such as Trustee and Presidential, are alloted by numbers of sudents. Marshall, for example, will receive more as it has many more students enrolled.</p>
<p>Each school has some of their own merit or need scholarships to award. They may have certain requirements which are unique for that school. Some of these scholarships are awarded on the basis of need/merit. </p>
<p>As I recall the graduate program at the SPPD is ranked #7 by U.S. News. If that is incorrect, please post current ranking.</p>
<p>I do not know the difficulty of entering the undergraduate school at SPPD as it is quite a small program.</p>
