<p>I wasn’t expecting any results until March, so getting an acceptance package on Saturday was a welcome surprise! That said, I didn’t see anything about a merit scholarship enclosed, and I thought that only people who were being awarded merit scholarships were notified early? I haven’t received an email from USC confirming my acceptance(Do they do this?) or an email regarding my merit scholarship chances(nothing about getting or not getting a scholarship). I’m 100% sure that I’m not a P/T scholarship finalist b/c frankly I’m not remotely qualified, but I was wondering if the chances are good that I would be getting the Dean’s Scholarship? It would make USC a much more enticing and viable option for me. All advice/guidance is appreciated.</p>
