I’m worried I won’t be considered for the merit scholarship anymore



To be considered for a merit scholarship, all you need is to submit your application on time. It doesn’t matter how long it takes the application to get to USC.

If you look at the Dashboard on the Common App for USC, it will have a submission date. Unfortunately, our son’s date is Dec 2 when in fact he submitted it on Dec 1 (maybe the Comm App is using Greenwich time?). Fortunately, immediately after he submitted it, a page came up with the exact time of submission, and it was accurate. We made a copy of that – this is the only proof we have of the timely submission, but it will be enough.
