How is the financial aid here and what is my chance of getting in?

<p>Once again:

“Middle class” is a vague term that has been defined on this forum as anything from $50,000/year to over $250,000/year. In reality, the average middle income of families in the United States is approximately $45,000. Families at that income level ($45,000/year) and with typical assets (under $50,000) receive significant financial aid. Higher incomes receive less aid.

If your income is in the $45,000/year range, you have provided useful information. If your income is well above that figure, your information is not useful. When it is not specified, those reading cannot make any use of the information.</p>

<p>Also, Parent Plus loans are NOT included in USC need-based financial aid packages. They are offered to assist in meeting the family’s expected contribution. Student Stafford loans of $5,500 freshman year, $6,500 sophomore year and $7,500 each junior and senior year ARE included in a need-based package.</p>
