USC Financial Aid Q

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>So I applied to USC for Fall 2008 as a transfer student.
It's been my first choice for a long time so if I am accepted, I want to be ready to pay. USC is well worth it. :)</p>

<p>First I'd like to gauge approximately how much I would be getting? (by comparing Freshman aid awards with similar EFC's to my own)
My EFC is less than 1k.
I submitted my parents' tax info as requested, FAFSA & CSS PROFILE early on. I also qualify for the Cal Grant, and my award from there has been on hold UNTIL I transfer.</p>

<p>Also, how much did you guys get for "merit"?
My cumulative college GPA is 3.91 so if I'm admitted, I hope that some of that will factor in and the financial burden will be greatly reduced on myself and my family. </p>

<p>Thanks for any responses! :)</p>
