<p>after getting accepted when do i find out about my financial aid? do i sign up for housing before i submit my SIR? what else do i need to do right now that i don't know about?</p>
<p>you can apply for housing as soon as you're accepted (even without committing), you just have to pay the $30 nonrefundable deposit. </p>
<p>as for financial aid, i don't know, but i think it varies. someone else should know.</p>
<p>yes, and if you want your first choice housing, if it's selective (limited availability) you should apply as soon as you can, because it's first come first serve even if you haven't turned in your commitment to enroll deposit when you apply</p>
<p>when do they start to get filled up? i'm visit usc for the first time ever next thursday or friday and i was going to check out the dorms to make an informed decision. i dont want this to be like the usc interview, where i waited 5 days and all the slots were filled up</p>
<p>symphonyinblack, you can check your financial aid status on the information gateway: <a href="https://sig.usc.edu/login.cfm?%5B/url%5D">https://sig.usc.edu/login.cfm?</a></p>
<p>you should have received an e-mail recently with instructions on how to activate your account there.</p>
