If you get financial aid requests? I don’t think so – from what I’ve read here they - admissions and financial aid - operate independently

USC is need-blind, so they work independently

If they requested my mid-years does that mean I have a chance? I do not think they would request my mid-year transcript and waste time if they were not considering my application
mid-years are required for all USC applicants, regardless of admissions decision

it states on the website that “we send many requests for mid-year reports in January and February to applicants from whom we would like to see additional information”

Congratulations! Has he heard anything about when scholarship decisions will come out? My son got an interview as well but it’s been radio silence on when he might expect a decision.
Someone ask on USC Instagram and they said a few business days after the RD is released, which is this Friday.

My USC admissions counselor said it is not required
this is from the USC Admissions Page:
Submit your fall grades (when available): Use the Mid-Year Report Form included in the Common Application or visit your applicant portal to submit your fall grades.
woke up to ANOTHER financial aid request… pay stubs, 2021 tax returns, unemployment information, expected 2022 income etc. there are six things to do; should i spend time on it today or should i just wait two days to see if i am accepted? getting all of that information from my parents would be extremely stressful haha

Changed how? To what?

I haven’t read story yet, but just for the graduate school data?

Yes, just for the graduate school rankings. Apparently, it looks like USC may have provided inaccurate data to the ranking agency for the last five years.
Specifically, the Rossier School of Education.
Oh thank goodness not widespread, but the internet will likely assume it was and roll with it because USC is always a favorite target. (As evidenced by the WSJ headline.)
But c’mon USC, gotta do this stuff right (and to avoid being clickbait/sensationalized).

Yeah, it seems like the WSJ loves to pick on USC for some reason.
