<p>Kaitlyn,
Did you attend the October USC reception in Atlanta? Applicants filled the reception room along with parents and siblings. The crowd was quite diverse, It is just what you will see at SC. The majority of students are on financial aid. The majority! Some receive merit scholarships.<br>
If you attend any elite private university you will learn there are students who come from wealthy families. In a freshmen class of over 2800 at SC you will find classmates who come from all over the world with varied backgrounds.
On your computer you can check out the USC Atlanta Alumni Club website. The club has posted photos of past SCendoffs for incoming SC freshmen and transfers. I have attended these for years and found students were excited about the opportunities and challenges that awaited them on campus. The students were busy exchanging news, dorm assignments and looking forward to college. Many of them had siblings who attended SC.
You were interested in SC or you would not have applied. Do not let misinformation keep you from following your dream. . </p>
