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."
i never said it was unfairly reduced, i think i even admitted in the thread i understand why the reduction took place, none of that changes the fact that due to a reduction in financial aid i will be transferring. USC having a clause saying that my family isn't expected to pay for my brother's grad school doesn't change the fact that it is happening. like i said, i am not being forced out but i do fit the criteria of the thread. a) my financial aid was reduced and b) i am seriously looking in to transferring because of it. i didn't say it was some great injustice, just that the university's policy on financial aid has lead to a situation where it is financially not the best decision for me to stay.
