Student received accept today for USC. She applied through Questbridge but did regular admission. Packet did not include information on financial aid or scholarship of any time. Read that in the past, information was provided. Anyone on with an accept that can share their experience this year? Or perhaps any information useful from prior year? Thank you!
Congrats! If no one replies, definitely call them first thing Monday morning.
On my portal, it says that “Financial Aid Summaries for new freshmen are not released until early April.” I applied through QB as well, and don’t see any financial aid information. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! It does. I found some older threads which said FA rolls around later but then found a post that a big scholarship was awarded in the acceptance package. Now the real waiting begins. Congratulations!
The big merit scholarships were awarded earlier and released in late January/early Feb with acceptance package for those that received it. Smaller scholarships will be awarded but primary focus going forward is financial aid, the “big” merit is done.
Got it. Thanks. Waiting for QB more than anything else which is need based so it’s good to know that the ones discussed earlier were merit based.
Once you are accepted to USC, the Financial Aid Office is not really going to be considering whether you were a QuestBridge Finalist or not. USC is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need regardless. They will therefore base your aid package on your FAFSA, CSS Profile and family income. Good luck… but I am sure that your USC aid package will be quite fair.
