Part I App

In the optional part 1 it asks you for your best SAT scores. I want to recieve a scholarship and know that my SAT is going to rise, so should I just leave it blank and submit part 1, or should I submit what scores I have now and then send the scores from October in later?

If I do it the second way, which scores will they use to determine if I get a scholarship?

isn't the application for scholarships due sometime in December? at least it was last year. is it possible to just wait to fill out the application later, at least for a little bit?

well, optional Part I of the application for admission is due early October, and it saves you 15 dollars off part II

i wasnt aware that there was a seperate scholarship application

there isn't a seperate scholarship application. by "application for scholarships" i just meant that the due date for the application is in December if you want to be considered for scholarships. i can't give you a great answer to your question about SAT scores though...it's been a while since i've filled out the application.

If you want to be CONSIDERED for any scholarshipe USC offers, the complete application, not just part 1, has to be submitted by Dec 1. If you take the SAT in OCT, you can find out your scores in a few weeks by phone, and submit your app. with your best scores in Nov..

i asked the same question a couple months ago, and a usc student told me i should just go ahead and submit the part I because my october SATs will get sent to them anyway before the december scholarship deadline. they should always use your highest composite score for the scholarship-choosing (i love that about this school, most places wont do that. all i gotta do is study CR and my composite goes up no matter what happens to the other 2)

I e-mailed an adcom and they said to submit part one and then have collegeboard send the scores after I've taken the Oct. test. Makes sense. They'll get all your scores anyway once you send them officially and won't look at self-reported anyway.

Good luck!

i did the part one application, seems like its kinda useless but it does show demonstrated interest.

Yes, they will use your highest scores when considering you for a scholarship. Any info you submit in Part I (intended major, SAT scores, etc.) is unofficial and preliminary only.
