2016 - 2017 USC Transfer

Hello Everyone

Did u start getting u financial aid award info?

My financial aid message as changed

@PolinaMadison to what?

Has anyone heard back from Annenberg yet?

The suspense is really killing me…

@wtb2525 I am planning on going to Hamburger University in Chicago, IL.

@johnnyUSC my stats weren’t anything special. No extra curriculars but I have military and work experience. GPA was okay at 3.96 after 5 semesters of full time. I was rejected last year so I know how it feels.

@ntbyooo thanks mate and good luck to you. Yes I am an international student from Antarctica. I did the toefl and scored above 100.

@journalism89 Annenberg applicant here, haven’t heard anything

@Chattt yes I got my financial aid award info online at around 1:00 am Thursday

Wait… hamburger? @undercovergenius

@undercovergenius did you apply last year as a transfer student? Or just from highschool?

To check the application status, you log into you.usc.edu right?

@thepinksun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_University LOL had me laughing my butt off

My financial aid message under “Application in Review” changed to:

“Your financial aid application is currently in review.
Please note: We will notify you if additional documents are required throughout the review process.
Financial Aid Awards are usually available 3 - 5 business days after all required documents have been received.”

I searched that with quotation marks and it seems to be a good sign. There were 4-5 users in the 2015 thread with the same message change and they all got in. The previous FA message said something about awards being available early May.

Anyone else notice this?

@hitherto I have always had that message since January/Feb. I’m a sophomore transfer but haven’t received a SGR yet.

@hitherto my financial aid changed to that message too! It used to say financial aid app under review… Available in early May but now it says the same thing that yours says! Hope it’s good news! :slight_smile: Does anybody else’s portal say that?

@ohwiseone I have always had that message and it hasn’t changed since then.
"Financial Aid Application in Review

It could be that I’m a sophomore transfer, so it might not apply to me.

@dtrojan112 since you’re on TTP and was recently admitted what were your Highschool stats if you don’t mind me asking

@happyhazelnut keep me posted! I’m a hopeful transfer from SMC

Do the bulk of applicants hear back may? I’m a marshall applicant and have not received a SGR. I got rejected UCLA Bus Econ, Berkeley Haas. I got into UCI Business Admin program, but I prefer USC.

@hitherto i got that message too. We’re there students who also got the message and were denied? I am a sophomore applicant and haven’t heard anything back.

@zettasyntax did you have any experience with this message/ know whether this is a sign of anything? Sorry for asking! You just seem to be very knowledgable about this stuff :slight_smile:
