Official USC 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>Star Audit report stopped working for me. Says I’m not authorized. Probably a rejection on it’s way.</p>

<p>this thread is already starting to slow down. I used to be on one day and then check the next and another 3 or 4 pages were added to the previous day. Was on yesterday and came on today and its still on this page. Are people starting to have the “screw it” attitude? lol</p>

<p>@mickey Nothing has occurred we can make more rumors about, so now it’s the waiting game.</p>

<p>@marty212 yea i guess thats true.</p>

<p>hey, did any of you guys receive your financial aid packages yet? I was just wondering because I received mine today and i only got 2k of gift aid. the usc financial aid calculator estimated that i would receive around around 23-24k of gift aid. :((((( </p>

<p>did anyone else have this problem? could i somehow get more financial aid???</p>

<p>@oatmeal Did you fill out all the major forms on time? Like FAFSA and CSS? I think there is an appeal process if you need more.</p>

<p>@oatmeal… Sorry but there’s no way your numbers add up. The calculator is around in the ballpark of what you would receive. That is if you put in and provide the correct info… Idk where you went wrong. Lol. Don’t mean to be rude. It’s just that your numbers are way off.</p>

<p>@HeartyBowl - hey i couldnt message you back because i dont have15 posts, but fafsa’s efc isnt an indicator of how much you will get since USC uses both fafsa and css.</p>

<p>@marty - yes i filled out both! and on time too!</p>

<p>@tomred - i know!! i got into ucsd and i used their financial calculator and it was accuarate! maybe i messed up on the css form? idk, but im calling them on tuesday. it cant be off by 20k!!</p>

<p>@heartybowl - my efc was ~12k, just in case you wanted to know. but again, this shouldnt be an indicator since USC uses both fafsa and css!</p>

<p>I just got my acceptance!!! So excited!!!</p>

<p>by the way, for people this year and next year who cannot log into OASIS, I was not able to log in until today, and my usc connect did not change until today as well. So don’t read into it to much if you cannot sign in when everyone else seems to :)</p>

<p>12k EFC and only 2k in grants?!?!
someone had an EFC of 20k and got 18k in grants… it just doesn’t add up.
and yes i know they don’t only base FA off of fafsa.</p>

<p>hearty- really?! the financial calculator said i should get around 20k! :frowning: how much do they take into account your home value? ugh… i hope that they messed up on my financial aid… :frowning: :(</p>

<p>Holdup. I checked my STARS report today and it says this. I don’t think the STARS report even worked for me until now. Does anyone know if this hints towards anything? This is the first time I’ve even seen my name and major listed together lol. However, I can’t access my STARS Audit report at all anymore. </p>

<p>Please let me know! </p>

<p>@redcap I think that means you are are in.</p>

<p>how do u access to OASIS?</p>

<p>Oh gosh. I went from being completely convinced I was rejected to having a glimmer of hope all in one day. Welp, guess we’ll see come next Saturday.
EDIT:
However, the classes I took in Community college aren’t listed, and it also says I’m a Freshman. So I dunno, might be a glitch?</p>

<p>@idea23: its your 10 digit password and your 6 digit day of birth.</p>

<p>Checked Oasis today and found this
Activity Restrictions as of 02:53pm on 05/24/2013 </p>

<p>Good or bad?</p>

<p>redcap,</p>

<p>I think that’s a good sign. My Oasis changed to my major, then I got the pdf of my acceptance letter and then my deposit box showed on USC connect and today (1 week after the Oasis change) I received my gold packet. :slight_smile: Also, don’t worry, my cc classes don’t show up yet but it does show me as a sophomore (33 units).<br>
Fight On!!</p>

<p>@howard Who knows. Nothing on my oasis has changed date wise since the 1st lol</p>
