It just seems confusing why the USC FA process would be so different than other universities - both public and private. My son had no idea about admissions or FA info (and was not able to peak) at USC or any other schools he applied to until the official admit notice went live. All other schools he applied to posted and mailed his full FA award packet with his admission packet, or within 1 day. I’m not trying to start a big debate or get anyone ruffled, but USC was the only school that left us in FA limbo for 9-10 days. In the meantime, admitted student events are taking place all over the country, airfares are going up, and, in our case he cannot attend USC without some need and merit aid. So we did take it off the list and book admit events at other schools. It’s back on now, though, but is still a big stretch for us. ;-)
