@macroraptor Concur. I would not even let my daughters apply there.
The NMF isn’t part of tomorrow’s scholarship announcment. It just shows up in your FAST portal but usually not until much later. If you are NMF and you were accepted, and identify USC as #1 choice with NMSF, you get it.
It is not a case where some do and some don’t. Some who apply don’t get accepted, but all accepted with NMF status do get the money.
Admitted!! still in shock! (Marshall)

I’m happy that I got in, but I’m annoyed at myself for not studying for the PSAT in junior year and missing the cutoff by two points because I had trouble with one reading passage. I would’ve made the cutoff if I did as well as on both SATs I took. That ended up being an almost $120k mistake.

I am here to prove that stats aren’t everything.
Admitted to USC fall 2020
GPA 3.81 UW 4.12W
SAT 1480 No subject tests
Viterbi school of Engineering Computer Science and Engineering
For Engineering these stats are ridiculously low, but…
I practically poured my heart out on the essays. I made sure that USC saw my full potential outside of my academics. I think my hook is the fact that I’m Autistic, and how that shaped me into helping those on the spectrum. I couldn’t be any happier, I’m going to be a Trojan!
@CarBarlos Very nice. Congrats.
DS got in for Applied and Computational Math. He is thrilled and feeling very grateful as he knows the competition is fierce

National Merit Finalist
Main extracurriculars: Marching Band Drum Caption, a couple other leadership roles at school, very good community service work done helping underprivileged students, did a research project at a summer program on statistics related to politics. Also attended CA Boys State.
I thought his essays were quite good and we are pretty sure he got very good recommendations from his teachers. His stats is not as good as many others but I think the essays helped a lot and USC admission sees him as good fit there.

@futurestudent345 If admitted today, and not in January, scholarships are rather rare and limited. The vast majority go to those admitted in January.
If applicable, they can become part of the FA Offering early next week (if the FA file is complete) or shared in other manners over the next week or so. For those admitted in January, the merit decisions are being announced tomorrow.
I meant I did get the veritax form.
consider TTP! best choice I made:)
Sounds like TTP! I recommend!
