<p>“Well, when later on comes around and you have your heart set on somewhere you can’t afford, it really sucks.”
“Even if a school has “great financial aid,” if your family makes a lot of money, it’s very likely you won’t get a whole lot.”</p>
<p>I’m in this exact situation right now… and it’s the worst thing ever. I have to sit here, thinking about whether it’s worth it to come here and put myself and my parents in debt, while my friends who I’m equally as smart as applied early and got a chance at the presidential scholarships… And apparently, even though my parents have 4 kids, they still make too much money to get anything more than the default stafford loan. They say “100% of financial issues are met.” I’ll call a BS on that one…</p>
<p>Enough raging… does anyone know if USC gives out any decent scholarships while you attend the school, so that I may be able to get some help, even though I didn’t get any of their “freshmen only” scholarships?</p>
