Trustee/Presidential Scholarship Notification

<p>I got a letter today from USC...but it was thanking me for interviewing and telling me that decisions will be sent out soon...(I interviewed with Viterbi)</p>

<p>was it sent from viterbi or general admissions?</p>

<p>lobsta, it was from viterbi</p>

<p>it's scary that they're deciding right now!!!</p>

<p>I agree! How petrifying. To think, only one more week.</p>

<p>Do we find out about thematic option with our scholarship decision?</p>

<p>that is..whether we were accepted or not. I submitted an app about 2 weeks ago.</p>

<p>I wonder the same thing. Is it difficult to drop TO after being in it? Supposedly, it's a very challenging curriculum.</p>

<p>I heard if you do the work though, it's hard to receive less than a B.</p>

<p>Has anybody heard anything from USC about these scholarships??? I'm getting really anxious...</p>

<p>Didn't they say they'd send out scholarship decisions on or around April 1? Maybe I made that up to reassure myself, I don't know...</p>

<p>We should know within the next few days..."late March." I looked at the thread from last year and notifications came in the mail on that monday( the 29th??).</p>

<p>yeah i think we're gonna get notified early next week...but like i said before, the associate dean of engineering told me ON april 1...</p>

<p>themockery, did u interview for trustees too??</p>

<p>i was at the first explore sc, didn't see that much engineering students,</p>

<p>I got a letter from Viterbi, too.</p>

<p>syawn, I interviewed for the Presidential.</p>

<p>I am getting anxious! Does anyone know around what percentage of kids that interview for the Trustees actually get the scholarship?? If I get the scholarship, I will most likely go there. If not, I don't know what I'm going to do!!! ohhhhhh fingers are crossed!</p>

<p>One of the admissions ladies said about half of the interviewees receive the scholarship, however, there are probably different percentages for each school (cas, viterbi).</p>

<p>Have any california people received notification yet? My mail came a day after CA people received theirs last time.</p>

<p>anyone gonna apply thematic option?</p>

<p>i applied for t.o. i heard from current students that it is a great program, but a lot of work.
i am keeping my fingers crossed...i hope i get the scholarship!</p>

<p>yeah, they try to make every percentage of candidates getting the scholarship for each school as close to 50% as possible, although some are a bit over (i know that the theatre school had a funky fraction)...</p>

<p>also, it depends on the school when you'll hear, but April 1st is the latest. The woman interviewing me said that I should hear the last week of March, but my friend who got the Trustee last year (she was a presidential finalist) heard on April 1st. But we live across the country, so i guess its different for everyone depending on the school and where they live.</p>

<p>i love usc, so i'm nervously awaiting the scholarship decision.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone, and Fight On!</p>
