<p>binks09, have you considered applying as a transfer? The deadline isn’t until February 1st. USC is one of the few universities that offer full financial aid to transfer students. If your 2009 financial information will be significantly different than 2008 (and from your comment above, it sounds as though it will), it might be worth the application fee to see what USC offers you this time. You would still have your spot at UCLA, but a possible option to transfer. Just a thought.</p>
<p>Bets wishes to you and your family.</p>
