<p>well, looking at past rhp threads, the people who get merit schols and admission get notified early feb so that they can plan to come in for their interviews in march-ish. if you don’t get a scholarship interview, then you get notified in like march, i think. but they make it so that the latest is march not april, i think. </p>
<p>but i want a merit schol so badlyy. LOL.</p>
<p>It also depends on where you live too.
Let’s just hang out here until the first one of us gets the letter. (: Keep the thread alive! And hopefully other RHP applicants will see it and join too.
So, what’s everyone doing this weekend?</p>
<p>i took the SATS!
OMGGG. THEY WERE EASY. </p>
<p>and i hope that i made the 2100 cut off! 
lol.
my Princeton Review scores, i think, were skewed cuz princeton review IMHO is harder than the SAT. </p>
<p>i’m soo stoked for my resultss. how long did oyu have to wait for your scores, rosinyangster?</p>
<p>It says when the scores will come out online on the CollegeBoard website. Your scores will be online by December 23, about 8 in the morning. (:
Good luck!</p>
<p>im still in school thennn 
and my school has a holiday fair that day. maybe i’ll be able to get out to a computer for a little bit lol.</p>
<p>Oh, my scores already are ready to be checked online at 2 in the morning!</p>
<p>I THOUGHT IT WAS SO EASY TOO!!! hopefully i score higher than last time =P</p>
<p>what’s the “2100 cut-off” you were talking about??</p>
<p>They have a minimum required score of 2050. However, most of the applicants tend to get much higher than that…</p>
<p>nooo min score is 2100.
that’s what it says on the rhp website.
but most people score higher- like rosinyangster said.</p>
<p>It is 2050 on the RHP website. I checked just now. (: Look under FAQ. Here is the direct quote:</p>
<p>“USC requires a standardized writing exam. We will accept either the SAT or the ACT (please note that you must also submit your ACT writing section score). A minimum combined SAT I score of 2050 or composite ACT score of 32 is required.”</p>
<p>that makes me feel so good!
i can DEF score that. but i was wicked worried about 2100 or not and whether i was automatically disqualified.</p>
<p>i mean, my test scores can’t suck that badly. but if they did, i still won’t worry.</p>
<p>how’d you guys do on psats?
me= not so good :(</p>
<p>hey guys, i applied to the rhp this year too. i put my major as physics. i hope to see you guys at orientation!</p>
<p>confident, are we?
lol.
i for one hope we all make it to orientation too.
i don’t know how realistic that is though…</p>
<p>do you guys think distance matters? like in cali vs out of cali?</p>
<p>just hopeful, that’s all. and I don’t think you should worry to much, i mean you’ve done all you can do, it’s up to them now.</p>
<p>nah, distance probably is not a big factor, i think about 50% of the kids are out of state or something like that.</p>
<p>anybody going to join the trojans’ marching band? i’m going to try out for snare</p>
<p>I have a suggestion for RHP applicants who are also applying to a major that requires a separate application, such as SCA. As soon as you find out that your RHP application is complete, telephone the admissions office of your intended major department and make sure that 1.) your application for your major is complete and 2.) the department knows that your overall RHP/USC Admissions application is complete too. The second point is especially important since, if the department thinks (incorrectly) that you haven’t completed your application to USC, they might not review your application to your major. If this turns out to be a problem, RHP will straighten it out for you if you call them and let them know.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice, Nester.
I’m applying to Marshall for Business Admin, and as far as I can see…there are no supplementary requirements. I hope I’m not wrong…
psymonsays511, I hope we can all see each other at Orientation too! But alas…</p>
<p>Do you guys know how big the applicant pool is this year? Because no matter what, they’re only going to choose around 30…so it’s, what shall I say…SLIGHTLY SCARY???
And I’m worried, because they didn’t receive the letter of recommendation from my supervisor yet, and it’s been weeks. Rawr, this type of thing always happens to me.</p>
<p>The tension is especially high right now, because seniors at school are starting to receive early application results. So all I can think of is…what about me…what about me…Hahaha. Anyways, just had to let that pent-up frustration out.</p>
<p>Did anyone apply to colleges other than USC (RHP)?</p>
<p>nooo.
i’m all gung-ho for not going at this point.
i’m not positive either way. and i have a feeling that i could maybe probably get admission somewhere “better” & closer. esp cuz i live in boston.
i’m thinking about transferring after the first year too. idk.</p>
<p>did anyone think about simon’s rock?
i didn’t cuz they don’t have a neuroscience program.</p>
<p>what’s simon’s rock? and i didn’t apply anywhere else either this year, but if i don’t get in there’s always next year</p>
<p>Nope, because I wasn’t planning to graduate early.
So if I don’t get in, then I’ll graduate with the rest of my class.
We’ll see what happens.</p>
