IF YOU ARE ADMITTED (some may not have got box yet and will find out here they are admitted).
On your you.usc homepage there is usually a new “In USC” button or similar on your page and your portal updates with this:
IF YOU DID NOT GET PACKAGE, YOU WILL GET ADMISSION RESULTS IN MARCH.
What changes is “new message” when you hit application status and it will be a link to a letter. It’s called “Information About the Scholarship Process.”
Once they update the portal, they also email you. So you really do not need to keep refreshing and trying to check the portal. The very same letter that they post, will be emailed to you as well. I have posted this a few times but here is beginning of that letter:
Dear (Student),
I am sending this update to first-year candidates who submitted applications by December 1, the deadline for USC merit scholarship consideration.
Scholarship Selection
Nearly 32,000 students applied in time to be considered for USC merit scholarships. We have offered admission to approximately 1,200 students who will proceed to the next phase of consideration for our top awards: the Mork Family, Stamps, Trustee, and Presidential scholarships. (Student), I am sorry to say you were not selected for further consideration for these awards.
@CADREAMIN Currently my portal only has a copy of the letter I received in the white package under the “check application status page”. The main page has not updated yet.
@jshep29 It is just starting people, give it time! They are not IBM they are USC. This is like lilkely two dudes or gals trying to get it all going. lol.
You cannot imagine my relief these are updating cause I have been saying with conviction they will update just after midnight then worry I keep a zillion kids up for nothing. Whew. But this is same as last 3 years. Cool.
So from last years…It happens in waves, specific scholarship info like sign up stuff adds later. Which means info is added to those getting scholarships as night (morning) goes on.
