furyshade, as your financial aid reduction is a result of your brother graduating from college, and you were already considering transferring for other reasons, it seems a bit misleading to post - as you have here and on other threads - that financial aid is the reason for your transfer.

When a family has two or more students in college at the same time, the EFC is split between them. When one of those students graduates, the EFC is no longer split - it is applied to the remaining student. This is not a USC policy, it is consistant throughout college financial aid. If you find that your family cannot afford USC with only one undergraduate, it is sensible for you to consider transferring, but again, it is misleading to tell others that your financial aid was unfairly reduced.
