<p>To answer some questions about notification, I was notified about being a McNair finalist during the last week of January. I would think that all the McNair notifications are already out since USC has already sent us confirmation of our plane tickets for the last week of Feb (McNair Scholars’ weekend). My friend also applied to the Honors College and was accepted, though she did not receive any notification about McNair. The same is true for some other kids in my school. Based on this, I think that since that since all of the out of state students who filled out the honors college app are considered for McNair, USC only notifies the students who are named McNair finalists.</p>
