<pre><code>…never thought he would choose SC in the end. Amazed…
Welcome to the Trojan family! I am looking forward to our USC SCendoff here in metro Atlanta when I can meet some of these outstanding new freshmen.

<p>Yup I am amazed too!! There was a lot of peer pressure on him and also from our school for him to say yes to WashU.</p>
<p>I could sense his dilemma and thats why I asked you all tons and tons of questions to get a proper picture, even then I did not sway him. I always gave him pros and cons of both the schools. 2 nights ago he himself did a lot of research and also came to CC to read the threads. </p>
<p>He finally emerged from his room and said ‘Pay the deposit to USC mom’. High Five!!</p>
<p>I love this thread!</p>
<p>We have paid the deposit. Son looks happy. Our entire family is excited about USC!!!</p>
<p>What a ride it was!!</p>
<p>Great thread, great choices by these two future Trojans! I’m always amazed by how fantastic and supportive the CC USC community is, and I’m so glad the applicants have recognized that!</p>
<p>Just the day before the May 1st deadline, USC has made my 3 year-old dream come true… Ive been waiting for my FA package and i was convinced that it as just not meant to be… BUT USC GAVE ME THE PERFECT FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE!!</p>
<p>I’m now a member of the Class of 2014!! </p>

<p>@Alamemom: during my painful applyig/waiting process for financial aid, you and your previous posts were my primary sources. Thank you very much for your efforts and help…</p>
