Official 2011 Decisions Thread

Colleges & Universities University of South Carolina

<p>Hey y’all… I thought it might be helpful for next year’s applicants if we made a USC decision thread. I adapted a form from another thread to fit the Honors College, Capstone, and scholarships, since those are the reasons most people on CC are even interested in USC.</p>

<p>Delete the spaces in <em>all</em> of the brackets and it should work.</p>

<p>Haven’t tried it yet, but you should add some more scholarships, my S got a Cooper (4k per year). There is also a McKissick, and an Alumni Scholarship.</p>

<p>^ I was thinking that rather than list all scholarships in the form, people could just specify which scholarship they recieved under “Scholarship recipient?”… however, if y’all think it would be better w/ all scholarships listed, I can fix it.</p>

<p>oh, i didn’t notice. It’s fine that way!</p>

<p>Obviously I am an idiot, I can’t get it to work!!!</p>
