<p>My nephew was stung that he was admitted with LOTS of merit $$ to Creighton and UMichigan but rejected from USC. He had great GPA 3.8+ unweighted and scores but still rejected. Due to te merit award, he will probably go to Creighton anyway, but still shocked to be rejected.</p>
<p>Our S was admitted by USC in 2006 while his lab partner was rejected from USC while being accepted from UPenn!?!?! He ended up going to Boston U with a great merit + FAid package while S was not offered ANY merit from Boston U. Very weird.</p>
<p>Had not heard that USC was rejecting NMFs–must be ubercompetitive.</p>
<p>Our D transferred in – applied after her 1st semester at community college and was a spring admit–allowed to enter after completing her 3rd semester of CC. Will be graduating after 3.5 years at USC & had a WONDERFUL time! It IS good to consider transferring in, if USC is still your top choice U. The counselors helped her with course selection so nearly all her courses transferred.</p>
