@mochibbycake I got my fin aid package two days ago but that’s only because I finally filled out everything they asked for…I called the fin aid office and they said that what I received is the most I’ll get unless there are special circumstances (out-of-pocket dental/health expenses, private education, etc etc) or a change in my parents income. I guess I could go in with my dad and ask to speak to a counselor directly but I’m not sure how much good that’ll do… :c
just got into the business school but its for spring 2016 anyone have success in switching it to fall ?
@waitforever It seems like an impossible task. Someone in the forum (my mind is failing me) has said that they called the admissions and were told that only freshmen spring admits have a shot at being switched to the fall. I’ve been trying like crazy by writing letters and sending emails, but everyone is saying the same thing basically - it’s not going to happen. My final attempt was sending a letter to the president of USC himself, ha, but I haven’t gotten any kind of response yet. I wasn’t really expecting one - just thought I should try 
The whole formula behind spring/fall admits is insane (some say it’s based on GPA while others state finances are a reason [such as you need more aid than someone who is paying full tuition]). I know that someone last year got into Marshall for Fall 2014 when he heard back on July 15th - even he was surprised that he still got in for the fall.
Got my package! Fall 2015 it is!
Good luck to everyone else!
to marshall ?
Just got my golden taco…
ACCEPTED into USC Marshall!!!
3.6 at time of app, 3.7 after spring grades!
But for spring 2016!
Oh my gosh time to make some serious decisions.
️UCLA for fall admission as a Sociology major
Or
USC for spring admission as a Marshall Business major!!
Congrats to everyone!
@infinitely2014 My portal updated today 7/11, I received the packet 7/8. 
@woahwhat Really? Dang. Maybe it can help. I guess the only other option is trying to find scholarships to pay for everything. 
I’m still waiting for my financial aid to update although I turned it all the necessary forms back in March.
this may be a stupid question, but does anyone know if you can attend UCLA for fall, and then transfer to USC as a spring admit?
Wooohooo got in for fall 2015!! So pumped right now!!
@jch718 Congrats! The wait was worth it!
am i the only one who doesn’t have access to physical mail and is waiting for the decision online?
@mochibbycake thanks for remembering me! haha thanks
@jch718 just wondering, did you receive it through the mail or the yousc portal?
@mochibbycake I don’t think that statement has ever been more true!!!
@infinitely2014 it came through the mail this morning!
@jch718 i see thank you
also, does anyone have this random “submit mid-year grades” link that appear on the portal?
looks like this? it disappears immediately the next time I access the page

@infinitely2014 no problem! I believe you’ll be able to see through your portal Monday morning! I think all decisions are complete now. The reason I think that is due to the fact that my admissions counselor, as well as another counselor I have kept in touch with throughout the process, both had their office phones going straight to voicemail on Friday. It seems as if many of the admissions workers have finished. I could be 100% wrong, but who knows
@jch718 oh that actually makes sense. and i totally envy you for having contact with your counselor haha i guess ill keep waiting, but thanks for the info and congrats!
@infinitely2014 I believe it’s just bug. I got the same thing randomly a couple of weeks before and it also disappeared when I clicked it.
I finally received my packet today!
Marshall, the only bad thing is that I have to wait until spring 2016 but oh well.
My parents did not make a lot of money this past year, probably around 30-40k including myself, only problem is that they’re married and they file taxes pretty much illegally since my mom reports head of household and my dad files single. Will I be penalized for this or can financial aid not give me assistance? Thank you in advance!!!
I got accepted yesterday!!! Whoop whoop! I wanted to see my financial aid status, but it still says pending when I log into you.sc, does anyone know if they will email you separately when that information becomes available? Or is there another place I can look?
A little bit of a dilemma and would love some feedback if anyone knows anything.
I want to go to USC Marshall. I was accepted for spring 2016, so I’m trying to decide what to do during the fall. I had to SIR and submit my housing installments to UCLA, costing around $3,000 already from my dads pocket.
My question is, can I attend for Fall quarter, and then head to USC for spring?
