<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: the scholarship letter i received a while back said that all NMF students are guaranteed the $20k scholarship upon admission, so hopefully that still holds. it’s a generous offer, and USC is my first choice, but santa clara univ. offered me full tuition…so right now, it’s a toss-up right now between USC and SCU :[</p>
