<p>shooshushoeshou, that’s really weird…have you had any luck with the deposit site? is USC the only school you applied to?</p>

<p>ACCEPTED FOR SPRING 2010! YAYYYYYYY!!!</p>
<p>This is the most amazing thing in the entire world. God they made me wait SO LONG!</p>
<p>OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!</p>
<p>:)))))))</p>
<p>CONGRATS ShooShuShoeShou!!! :D</p>
<p>Wait a minute, I thought USC didn’t take spring transfers?</p>
<p>They don’t take applications for the spring semester, but they do admit people for the spring if they want them bad enough and there isn’t room in the entering fall class. A lot of people graduate a semester early, or graduate a semester late, or drop out, or transfer out, which opens up some spaces for spring.</p>
<p>Hey congrats shoo! You’ve been posting on this forum longer than i have, i cant believe you just received your packet!</p>
<p>are any female spring admits looking to move to the usc area earlier to explore the place/make friends/ etc :)? i need a roommate starting in september…</p>
<p>OK,
so i got into my dream school of USC…one of the very very very few schools that offer my major of Music Business/Music Industry. NYU is the other…which probably would have left me in a very similar situation.</p>
<p>My family is one of those middle class families that makes a decent amount of money, however, living in Orange County is expensive…my family saved 25,000 dollars for me for college. </p>
<p>With that i was accepted as a sophomore for FAll 2009. Three years of USC = awesome!!! i did it!</p>
<p>and now the bad news…</p>
<p>financial aid package: 10,000 $ in packaged loans a year, and 11,000$ in grant money!!! thats it!!! no transfer scholarhsip or anything with my 3.85 average college undergraduate gpa either. </p>
<p>Basically for three years at USC(not cummuting, living at usc), i am going to have to pay 90,000$ of personal loans (the 30,000$ per year i didn’t get from USC),and then pay back the USC loans which will total around 30,000$. </p>
<p>TOTAL: 120,000$ + the interest of many of these loans.</p>
<p>RIDICULOUS. what am i suppose to do? I can’t face nearly a 1,000 dollars debt per month for 10 years! who in their right mind can pay that right after gradauting? </p>
<p>Graduate school? ha! lets just keep piling on the debt. </p>
<p>I am seriously so frustrated right now i can’t even control myself. USC is my dream school, and has the only area/major that i have ever been interested in studying. </p>
<p>I worked so hard to get into this school, and now it has become the most frustrating situation…</p>
<p>…ugh.</p>
<p>so iput down my deposit…how do i get a usc email?</p>
<p>A friend of mine was admitted to Marshall for Spring 2010. He received a C in Calculus. Will they follow through and rescind his admission? Anyone heard of a similar situation?</p>
<p>justchill, go here to setup your email: <a href=“https://secweb.usc.edu/cgi-local/firstlogin/showform?form=activate[/url]”>https://secweb.usc.edu/cgi-local/firstlogin/showform?form=activate</a></p>
<p>BlueCrewChris, i don’t think he should worry. unless his acceptance letter had a GPA requirement to maintain. if he got lower than a C then I would worry, otherwise I think he has nothing to worry about.</p>

<p>Well, not just spring people sorry haha</p>
<p>that link just takes me to my homepage, lol. are you in the new CC transfer group?</p>
<p>Giltzer: That’s a difficult decision to pile on debt. I hope you can make it happen to attend USC. But I’m not sure I understand why you think its “ridiculous” and feel that USC owes it to you to hand over the money. If you wanted to buy anything else expensive (high-priced house, expensive car, etc.) and the cost was too high for you would you expect someone else to subsidize the cost for you just because you really really wanted it? I’m not trying to be rude…just trying to understand why you feel someone else should pay for your education at your dream school?</p>
<p>I posted this question in the new transfer thread but I haven’t gotten many responses and figured you guys would actually be a better group to ask. How did you report your gpa on the application? They say A = 4 but don’t go beyond that in their explanation. My gpa is calculated where 100-95 = 4, 94 = 3.9, 93 = 3.8, etc. Should I put the gpa that I would get based on the A+/- scale or the scale my school uses?</p>
<p>Really?
Usually that works, whatever. Yeah, I’m in the new transfer group, I just added you</p>
<p>@Roseioeney.</p>
<p>yes you make a good point. i’m not saying that i am not expecting a large amount of debt at all… but yes, i do believe they have put way too much burden on me (and students in similiar situations as me). I really do believe that the incredible financial aid they offer for very low income students is amazing…however that doesn’t change the fact that i was admitted with above average scores and stats…</p>
<p>coming out of college with such an incredibly large amount of debt for me would be almost impossible for me to live with. Straight out of college owing nearly 1200 bucks a month is NOT normal. USC should be an honor, not a burden. </p>
<p>However, i am saving up and am in the process of changing my admission to the SPRING. This way i can only have to worry about loans and such for my junior and senior year. Still gonna pay alot of money…but more managable. I guess thats what students in my situation gotta do … a bit unfair (in my opinion) and unecessary…but worth it like you said.</p>
