<p>USC is very serious about meeting %100 of the need they determine for the family. My parents have not been able to complete their taxes yet (I know, I know…bad bad bad) so they are still waiting on that but everything else was turned in on time.</p>
<p>I called today to make sure I wouldn’t be penalized or epically screwed and she said it was ok just get it in asap. Also, as far as tax returns are concerned, their website does say “March 2nd or a soon as possible thereafter…” so I can’t imagine…</p>
<p>Fortunately, thanks to the Trojan Family, USC will not run out of USC grants. Last year, USC awarded over 190 million in USC grants and scholarships. Late paperwork may mean it will take a bit longer to get your package.</p>
<p>Ohh okay. Wow I was really bummed for a bit! Thanks for the info guys Hopefully I’ll know the FA package USC is giving me by the end of spring break then!</p>
<p>To clarify for you guys, you WILL receive an email telling you your FA info has been posted online. However I got my email about 3-4 days after I already saw it online though (I think it was 3/30), so check to see if it may already be posted? Log into Oasis and click on 2010-2011 Awards. If you get the Welcome Letter, make sure you click “continue” on the bottom of the page (It’s hard to notice). If it’s not posted yet then I think an error message comes on.</p>
<p>I also got the actual package in the mail today (southeast region, in case anyone’s wondering). I submitted everything before the deadlines, except for one item they requested which I sent in about 4 days after the 3/2 deadline. I’m also a scholarship recipient…perhaps they do those first? That may not be the case for all though. But yeah, that’s all of my info! I hope it helps :)</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Personally, I got FANTASTIC financial aid from USC (It ended up being the deciding factor in my college choice), so don’t be too pessimistic ;)</p>
<p>Our documents have “not yet been reviewed”. SOON, I hope! My daughter would like to attend an Occupational Therapy information session on the 12th. However, we won’t make the drive down there if the FA award isn’t substantial enough, ie; more loans than grants. Soooo, I hope we hear soon. </p>

<p>another dayyyy of waiting still nuffin</p>
<p>by friday I would like to know my college fate**</p>
<p>i think the majority of packages have been determined…they just havnt released them yet for god knows what reason.</p>
<p>i had my sister walk into the office last week and they said i was on track to finding out in a few days, but its now a week later and still nothing.</p>
<p>i just called the fa office and they said my package was ready…they just didnt mail it out or put it online yet, dont know why, so the guy did it on the spot for me. said i should be able to see it later today or tomorrow at latest.</p>
<p>Other students have posted on Facebook they received good packages. If you feel there is an error or you have compelling new financial information please call or write a letter to the financial aid office asking for an appointment or requesting a reconsideration.</p>
<p>i got accepted for the spring 2011 semester. if i get a good financial aid package i will still enroll, but will they send me anything soon? right now there is nothing on my financial awards page</p>
<p>"^was that the first time you checked? or did it only start working after the email? "</p>
<p>No, I had been checking obsessively haha. I even checked before I went to bed the night before, so it must’ve been on a timed thing for it to be released at such a crazy hour.</p>
Hopefully I’ll know the FA package USC is giving me by the end of spring break then!</p>
still nuffin</p>
hopefully i get to know if I’m going to USC by the end of the week…</p>
