Not sure for art school but at least within engineering it’s very easy to switch to a different engineering major

@crisp halo so I am an RD applicant but that is because I applied within cinematic arts. When it came to scholarships, I did not request them because I thought I shouldn’t bother since I wouldn’t make it :( Is it still possible to earn scholarships (not necessarily merit) in the future? Can I also potentially get more financial aid along the way if life events happen? thank u! :3

Would u say usc is worth going to on the long run
there are a lot of things youre paying for…the name, the connections, the alumni network, etc. if youre gonna be in a LOT of debt though i dont think its worth it
timid forge
Generally the recommendation is don't take more debt than youll make in your first year iirc
young ivy
What are your other options
purdue to artificial intelligence, university of minnesota for computer science (a major i dont wanna study), and risd that is 80k a year 😟

im upperish middle class so i doubt ill get much aid tbh :(
crisp halo
do u know what percent of kids have to pay full cost?
2/3 of our student body is on some type of fin aid!!
crisp halo
My advice would be to wait and see how much aid you receive then make your educated decision based on that and your other options
crisp halo
If you absolutely LOVE usc and wanna be here no matter what and you know the fact that you might be in debt and STILL think its worth it, then do it
but at the end of the day I can’t tell you whether or not you should come
frigid wren
yeah i think so
young ivy
maybe i’ll try one year, maybe transfer, and return to graduate school if i can? i really really really love usc

Additionally, EA candidates were also considered for USC Merit Scholarships. Although you were not selected for further consideration for Trustee, Presidential, Deans, or Leadership scholarships, you will still be considered for other funding listed on our Scholarships page if you meet the cligibility and application requirements. Also, if you are named a National Merit Finalist, offered admission and select USC as your first-choice institution, you will receive a USC Presidential Scholarship worth one-half tuition.
i think this is what the ea letter says
young ivy
yesh :(

is changing around majors ez at usc?
if your family can comfortably afford the 400k
usc is fine
also changing majors to DLAS is easy, but Engineering is harder, depending on the major
if you want to switch majors, I highly recommend math, cs, and stats. those pay pretty well as opposed to art which carries more risk

Hey guys do you know how easy it would be to change major within Marshall?
daring cape
hey guys general question, so i have been accepted for the spring semester starting Jan’24. now i don’t want to miss out on an entire semester. and as you all may know USC will let me enroll for the fall semester if they have enough space, which i get to know only after i enroll in the month of may. now my question comes, so the deadline for enrolling is May 1, while the deadline for paying the deposit ($300) is August. so is it possible to enroll myself without paying the deposit, find out if i can attend the fall semester and then decide whether or not i wanna attend USC? you see i have another university which i need to decide from, and they have an enrolment fee of $100. so i’d rather lose 100 than 300. anyways i hope my question is clear and someone can help me. perhaps an existing student. pls lemme know, wouod really appreciate it
twilit palm
hey guys general question, so i have been accepted for the spring semester start...
Yes, think of spring admit kinda like a waitlist for you, and if you end up still wanting to go to usc you can pay the deposit later

so i can take my chance of having the fall option without paying the 300 upfront right?

What’s the Viterbi Pathways Program? Anyone have any info on it because it’s apparently relatively new.. I don’t really want to go to a women’s college, although Mount Holyoke is phenomenal from what I’ve heard.
[Name]the Viterbi School of Engineering and the Office of Admission have identified you as someone we hope will consider transferring to USC in the future. We hope you will join the Viterbi Pathways Program, a unique, invitation-only, counseling program with specific and individualized guidance directly from a Viterbi Transfer Admission counselor. The Viterbi School wants to help guide you, step-by-step, on the best way to be a competitive transfer applicant. I hope you are interested in this opportunity and want to be considered for future transfer admission to the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. The Viterbi School will be in touch with you in the days ahead to provide more information, including signing up for your Pathways Orientation, as well as your first advising appointment. They will work closely with you to plan out a transfer guide for the next year.
