Thanks @madbean, it is a confusing process for that group. My daughter was a NMF, she decided not to apply to USC because of all the application essays, haha. Our post office is very unreliable, so you never know.
Trying to have faith in the application process - we can’t go full pay, so even if my son gets in later in the spring, it won’t be an option. It will help with the decision process, so what will be, will be!
