<p>Does anyone know what criteria are used to determine whether you receive merit aid from USC? Specifically, I want to know how difficult it is to receive their National Merit Presidential Scholarship, if, of course, you are already a National Merit Finalist.</p>
<p>if you're a National Merit Finalist, i hear you automatically get the National Merit Presidential scholarship</p>
<p>as far as the Trustee's goes, ppl on this site have said the average SAT score is 2200-range</p>
<p>there's several threads with more detailed info and stats posted around here</p>
