You have until 5/31 to specify USC as your first choice to be eligible for the USC Presidential Scholarship. However, I would recommend that you do this by mid-April at the latest if you want to live in McCarthy. The USC housing lottery takes place in early May and you must be designated as a Presidential Scholar before the lottery to be eligible for McCarthy. It takes about 1-2 weeks after you specify USC as your first choice for NMSC to notify USC and then for USC to grant you the scholarship.
