<p>How is USC with regard to financial aid for transfer students? Is is comparable to freshman financial aid? I know that if you show a school anothers financial aid package that a school tends to match the other package. Does USC also follow this policy? I know that they have a large endowment/ fellowship…does this transfer to large financial aid packages to the students?</p>
<p>I don’t know the answer to your specific question, but I have a general familiarity with USC’s FA ways of doing business. USC is a private school, so it tends to be very customer-oriented compared with state schools. It is on the other hand a very large school, so there are many customers as well as cooks in the kitchen to feed them, and a little more bureaucratic and procedures-oriented than one would like sometimes.</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, USC is awash with alumni contributions, endowments and athletic program earnings as a result of being in the last 3 football national championships. From what I have seen, FA is generous and not too picky. I get the feeling that the FA office is charged with giving a huge sum of money away, and they are enthusiastically meeting that goal.</p>
<p>So, as you await your award, expect something good. I hope you get it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help…that was exactly the answer to the question I was looking for…</p>
