<p>I have a 3.98 but I was not able to meet the writing requirement this year prior to transfer. Assuming that issue can be resolved (perhaps an admissions hold until I fulfill that requirement this summer or otherwise), I feel pretty confident for admission to at least one of the schools I applied to. It would be unfortunate, to say the least, to lose a spot because of that one course, but we shall see.</p>
<p>March 18? That is so soon! I thought they dont send them out until the last week of March?</p>

<p>It’s 'SC or bust for me. I briefly considered applying to Pepperdine, but then I just knew it wouldn’t work out at all for me, lol. I just feel like USC is the perfect fit for me academically and socially.</p>
<p>Did anyone send winter grades? Should we even bother?</p>
<p>@encgdr: Why would you, unless you were specifically requested to?</p>
<p>I think if it helps you, yes. If not, just wait until they ask for your spring grades.</p>
<p>@encgdr</p>
<p>im on the quarter system and my finals are in two weeks. im planning on sending in my winter grades once im finished</p>
<p>@encgdr</p>
<p>also, im a freshman and my gpa last quarter was a 3.5. i have straight As right now so i’m hoping for a 4.0 this quarter if everything goes well. thats why im planning on sending in my grades!</p>
<p>Hey guys, just called USC—they require you to submit your winter grades EVEN IF they don’t ask you too. Spring grades are optional but required if they request it, which they probably will for all freshmen applicants (which I am).</p>
<p>Also, I asked if I was able to take a pass/no pass class. Of course, they recommend that you should not because it may affect your overall admission decision. They also only allow one pass/no pass class for all your GE’s in order to transfer.</p>

<p>thanks!!!</p>

<p>Is that for regular decision? Transfers are not released until May or so.</p>
<p>I know that USC sends out decisions by mail but do they say on USConnect that they mailed out the decisions?</p>
<p>And also do they mail the decisions to both addresses (my current address and my home address?)</p>
<p>im pretty sure its home address</p>
<p>just curious…what does everyones status say on USConnect?</p>
<h1>KONY 2012# Let’s make KONY famous.</h1>

This sums it up for me:

<p>Im personally far more interested in on site activism. But I definitely support the end Kony movement. Even if it is a tad misguided.</p>
<p>Is USC a need blind school for finan aid? On the app I put that I wouldn’t need any need-based aid since my parents said they will pay for me, but I feel bad knowing USC is around 30k a year and with housing it’s around 20k more. So I just added USC as one of the schools to my fafsa this month. Does it affect your admissions to apply for fafsa? I am not desperate for finan aid, but it would definitely be nice to get some aid considering the cost of the school and living expenses. Any idea on this? Thanks</p>
<p>@CheddarGoldfish I highly doubt applying for FAFSA would influence USC’s decision in ANY way. That would be awful.</p>
<p>That’s what I thought too! It is a private that was why I was wondering, I just heard people say they give preference to those who can pay everything…so you will have a higher chance to get in =/ Not sure if that is even true though as that doesn’t sound too fair</p>
<p>@CheddarGoldfish: No way that’s true. If that was the case, the school wouldn’t be as diverse as it is. It would be filled with trust fund babies.</p>
<p>But in short, yes, SC is need blind.</p>
