<p>how did you guys findout? mail or emailL?</p>
<p>I got mine in the mail</p>
<p>Mail . . . :(</p>
<p>i got the acceptance letter today...i applied by the dec. 10 scholarship deadline but the packet they sent doesn't mention anything about scholarships or merit based aid so i'm not sure what the deal is...congratulations to everyone else who got in</p>
<p>Wait. I applied for the USC december 10th deadline too. Do you only get a letter if you are def in? Now I'm nervous! I thought I wouldn't be hearing until APRIL! Someone answer soon before I freak out!</p>
<p>Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>USC send out letters early to people who are candidates for trustee or presidential scholarships (full and half tuition). They go out early because these people must spend the weekend at USC at the end of feb/beginning of march and have an interview. The scholarship isn't GUARANTEED, but if your interview goes well you obv have a good shot. At this point though, the USC letters start going out in waves (scholarship and non scholarship) all the way up until April. Supposedly the rejection letters come out last.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>ok, so for the people who got their letters--where do you live? I'm on the east coast so maybe mine will be delayed? I'm just assuming this bc i also applied for the scholarship thing....i hate this process</p>
<p>a person in oregon got it and I'm in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>my letter was dated the 26th and arrived the 28th in seattle area</p>
<p>I got mine on Saturday (28th). I live in the bay area, near San Francisco.</p>
<p>Yep, I'm the oregon one. I got mine Saturday (28th).</p>
<p>I got mine on Friday... and I live thirty-forty minutes away from LA... :)</p>
<p>I also got in. I was so shocked when I saw the letter, because I was expecting to see it in April. But I'd forgotten about the scholarships. Does anyone know where all the scholarhsip info is? Like flying down for interviews or what, or will it not say anything if you aren't eligible? Because I didn't get any specific info on scholarships, but it said something like "check blah blah for scholarships." I am slightly confused.</p>
<p>Congrats! :) (I was really surprised as well) I heard that we get contacted in February about scholarship info.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many people they picked as "candidates" for the scholarship? I mean, we might have a good chance if they picked 1000 people for a couple hundred of scholarships, but if it's thousands and thousands of people, our chances significantly decrease...</p>
<p>there are about 300 scholarships so I would guess about 1500 invites.</p>
<p>I got my letter today! I live in Florida.</p>
<p>Hi. I live in Los Angeles. I haven't gotten that early acceptance letter from usc yet. I have very high sats and perfect grades. Extracurriculars are also very good. My sat is 2250.
