OK, my head’s officially spinning from the confusion, and I’m a Trustee scholar…

The weird thing is that when I was interviewing Presidential scholar candidates, I came across a couple NMFs. I don’t remember seeing any NMFs in the Trustee candidates I interviewed, but then again I obviously interviewed a small portion of the candidate pool. Perhaps as Misoobishi mentioned earlier, if USC thinks you have the potential to be bumped up - which is difficult to do unless all of your interviewers really think you’re the best qualified out of all of the candidates they interviewed that day - then maybe that’s when they send the letter to Explore USC and the interviews.

Also, S2530S2, where did you get the number of scholarships awarded stats? I’m a College Ambassador, and they don’t give out those numbers to us :S

2007-2008 (us…!)
Expected Numbers for Scholarships:
Trustee: 100
Presidential: 200
Deans: 250 (woah)
National Merit: Varies
