Has anyone gotten an email to attend the Scholars Forum for the scholarship interviews? If so, when did you get the letter /email? Do you know when they all get sent out by?
I believe they come out in February
Did anyone send grades yet? My school semester ends on the 19th and I’m worried that is too late.
I applied for merit scholarships btw

Based on what I have read on last year’s thread, my guess is that the letters to invite students to interview for Presidential (half tuition off) or Trustee (full tuition) will be sent out either this Friday, January 19 or Monday, January 22nd. Some say that in the past, they have been mailed on a Friday but never the last Friday of January, but I believe last year they were sent around January 22 on a Monday. Based on that potentially being true, my best guess would be that some who live in CA would possibly get a letter/packet between January 22 (if mailed Friday) possibly even Saturday in some places in Southern CA, but most likely get a letter January 22 or 23 if not living close to USC. Others around the country likely would hear around January 22 to 25. I also read that last year the portal was updated about three days after the letters were mailed. So again, depending on when mailed, could be as early as Tuesday, January 23 but may be 24th or 25th. This is all speculation on my part, based only on what I’ve read on CC, nothing that USC has said or written. I’m sure if you called Admissions, they would tell you something like “you’ll hear by the end of February”, mostly because they are old school and want the students to get the news in the mail and be surprised, at least that is what I’ve read. Don’t know if that is the case this year or not but I am hoping they go out on Friday!
