Any news yet? 
Financial aid portal âdown for maintenanceâ? Is that where it would show up or in the decision area? nvm - itâs back up with nothing newâŠ
Is it possible the portal will update for scholarships at midnight (PST) Friday? Admissions told me it will be Friday afternoon but if the portal will be updated Sunday just after midnight for RD applicants, I wonder if they might do same for scholarships tonight? Just a theory.
Might be worth checking portals after midnight (PST).
DD has been confirmed for trustee scholarship (full tuition). It is posted as an additional document in the same place the original decision was posted.
@Holistic2, so you just happened to check that original place or was there a notification on the you.usc portal? Maybe they are starting with trustees and rolling release between now and the morning.
@Nomorelurker, just went to you.usc.edu and clicked on the Admission Decision link - on a hunch. The portal looked identical to what it did this morning except when Admission Decision link was opened, there were two document links instead of one.
@Holistic2 , thatâs awesome. Congrats on your D maintaining her Trustee award. Fight on!
Went from Presidential finalist down to Deans. It may be disheartening, but as long as FA is a bit generous, I may be able to attend USC after all.
@gliscorlion, Sorry about the bump down but I sincerely hope FA will be generous so you can still attend. We are looking at a similar situation.
D received Trustee. USC was a possible/reach according to GC. So far admitted to BC, UVA, UCLA. Waiting on Ivies next week. Loves USC. Fight On!
Keep refreshingâŠno new link. Not encouraging.
Trojan spirit was undeniable during our Explore USC visit. D will seriously consider this though she already has an Ivy âlikelyâ and a tech school with no merit scholarship just north of USC near the JPL. UChicago merit decision is pending in addition to a handful of non Ivy reaches and match schools. Fight on!
Again, @cadreamin called it. Same day as mailed like last year. Will never doubt those predictions.
anyone know when the second wave will be posted??
@gliscorlion How do you know you got bumped down to Deans?
@Quantjock I was a presidential finalist and in my scholarship letter that I just saw, I received deans.
So if we donât have a scholarship update, thatâs not good news right? Or is there still hope?
Congrats to everyone getting good news!
I knew they wouldnât wait till tomorrow to give out scholarship decisions because they never have and it would have been such a Marketing 101 bad moveâŠyou donât diminish one or the other by putting out both results on the same day.
Of course there is still hope for those that havenât heard on their scholarship, until you get a letter that says you didnât get it, hang in there! There hasnât been enough posts on here yet, unless people believed the Friday posts (I donât know why admissions lies to people on the phone, it is so bad) and arenât checkingâŠso there should be more good news!
I can say when portals update with regular decisions, the ones that get accepted usually hear first. Then a separate letter is posted for those that donât. But I wouldnât give up hoping till they are all out - you never know with technical stuff and seems early still for these decisions to all be out.
@CADREAMIN and @Quantjock, are you suggesting that some students wonât get a scholarship letter at all in their portal and will only be notified that they did not get any scholarship by a letter in the mail? I thought it was reported that every student ends up with something, even as low as $500. I agree that itâs still early so hopefully more will post in the coming hours.
