<p>My DS said that his Admissions Status Check page has PDF about acceptance to Viterbi CS but no mention of Scholarships (neither awarding nor otherwise). His stats are perfect SAT (including SAT 2); 3.98 UW GPA with good number of AP’s and all 5’s; tons of extra curriculars and awards; also NMSF (and likely NMF). </p>
<p>For him USC is the first choice only if he gets full scholarship (which seems to be not the case looking at the PDF), as he already got very good scholarship from Illinois CS that puts his COA below 20K.</p>
