<p>I haven't heard anything about scholarships yet. Even though i haven't gotten the rejection letter, should i just assume i didn't get any? And also, are there any grants for the Thematic Option program?</p>
<p>N1RVANA: i'm in the same situation as you... no rejection letter either, but i'm assuming the presidential and trustee candidates have all been notified. however, like you, i also recieved an invite for the thematic option. ahh well <em>crosses fingers for other scholarships</em></p>

<p>USC is pretty much out of the question now. Not a knock against USC, but I can't justify spending $42,000 for USC when I can go to Michigan for $18,000 a year. Oh well, my decision is just that much easier now. Although I guess this is probably a sign that I won't get into my other schools (Northwestern, Penn, Cornell, Columbia), so my decision probably won't be too hard anyways. Good luck to everyone else.</p>
<p>But I did buy some lottery tickets today, and If I was to win, USC would probably jump up to the top of my list, because it has the best weather and girls of the schools I applied to.</p>
