Hi guys, I was a legacy applicant going to apply here, but I had to withdraw my app because I was accepted elsewhere ED. Good luck to all of you!
hey guys, just wondering what kind of scholarship you can get with national merit semifinalist? does it actually mean anything? My friend said something about getting half off but im p sure he’s bsing haha
@Easyhoon Look on their website for scholarship information
@Easyhoon it’s true, https://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/docs/uscScholarships1516.pdf
also, league of legends?? 
@Easyhoon - Yep, we get half tuition if we name USC as our first choice on the app!
wow thats awesome! except it would be kind of sad if I have the option for half off and then not get accepted 
you play as well?
Just wondering, if your not selected to interview for a scholarship, and have applied by December 1, can you receive regular admission around late January or do you have to wait until late March?
@ewhs000 In recent years, it seems that students who were offered the Dean’s scholarship (1/4 tuition and no interview required) were given acceptance in late January to early February. Everyone else has to wait until March, unless they change things this year.
@Easyhoon don’t play as much, but I watch a lot haha… so excited for the new season!
How were we supposed to list USC as our first choice on the app? Was it supposed to be in the additional comments section?
@collegecurious15 if you are talking about national merit, on the national merit application, it should allow you to select your choice of school.
@collegecurious15 making a school your official top choice with NM Scholarship Corp. can happen as late as May (depending on the college) and many kids wait until they advance to NMF officially and know their top choice. (You can also alter your top choice up until the deadline for your respective college).

Hey, do you guys think that a 32 ACT is too low for scholarship consideration? Even with a solid GPA, fairly strong extracurriculars, and solid letters of recs? I don’t have any minority status other than being a girl going into engineering.
