Hey @crisp halo, do you know when the financial aid and scholarship info comes out for the art programs that applied Dec 1st?

crisp halo

# crisp halo ahh i do not

Is it possible to negotiate financial aid/ scholarships at all if say it’s going to be 15k a year to attend uchicago vs usc

crisp halo
#

you can appeal for more aid

#

but not on the basis of matching other institutions

Is there a usc admitted students forum/group?

Hey @crisp halo, sorry for so many questions. But what is the thematic option and is it worth it?

crisp halo

livid crypt
#

it's not centered around any major/subject

#

there's a large array of course choices and topics so you can choose what you want to do

#

well other than the first semester

old gust
#

Do you know when it is held?

livid crypt
#

it replaces you regular GEs so until you complete the required courses

#

there are 6 total

#

think of it as a "school" within USC but where you only complete your GE requirements

whats that

#

thats 8 pm here

#

i still dont know what i want rip

#

wait guys

#

im techincally class of '28

#

and im going to apply for a deferral

#

so technically this housing thing

#

isnt for me

#

right

#

i apply next year

thin hill
balmy echo
#

@crisp halo im sorry but do you know if i should apply for housing even though im going to start fall 2024 and not 2023

#

or like anyone

crisp halo
balmy echo
#

yes i have mandatory military service for a year

crisp halo
#

Oh my bad i see that haha

balmy echo
#

its fine :)

crisp halo
#

Yeah so you would apply for housing next year when that application is released

#

I would also reach out to the USC veterans resource center and see if that have any more info for you :)

#

quick Q

#

how does fin aid work for students who come from high income backgrounds

#

like i would never qual for need based grants

#

but i dont want my parents to have to pay for my college entirely because i have siblings and want my dad to retire. is there any way USC's fin aid can help with taking fed backed loans or something to make them potentially cheaper?

you guys reckon they have halal restaurants there lmao

thin hill
#

Guys I fucked up a bit

#

I put the wrong billing address for the card I used for the housing application

#

Do you guys know if this is a big problem or if I can change it

#

Maybe @crisp halo do you know?

manic fulcrum
#

not the end of the world

#

its a billing problem not a housing one

#

so its okay

#

if anything it might cause problems with your bank (probably not though dw)

crisp halo
thin hill
#

It’s really stressed me out

manic fulcrum
#

if it is its with bnanmk not with usc

#

and can be fixed quite easily

#

so dont fret

thin hill
#

I think it’s becuase I’m intl and used an intl card w the wrong address and stuff like that

#

But from what I’ve read the payment would have declined

thin hill
manic fulcrum
#

typically most banks dont rollb ack based on address

#

you could type random stuff into the address field and thers quite a good chance that it would go through

#

its not a field that has to be down exactly to the records saved like a CVV or card number yk

#

but it can cause problems in terms of the banks records

thin hill
#

Okay I see

thats good to hear, and one last thing is usc a good pre-med school? or is something like u of t way better

#

im not asking to compare

#

its just that all rankings support it

#

that u of t is way better than usc but i really dont wanna go to canada

#

but ill have to be rational

iron orbit
#

if you wanna continue studying or staying in us go to usc

#

international rankings matter little

i just wanna know which option would be better for the ultimate goal which is med school

if ur going to apply to med school in the US then u of t has a debuff of being international I think

@crisp halo yo I’m just a bit curious what is the diff between the university-wide general admissions office and the school-specific admissions office?

#

Like which admissions officers are actually reading apps and making decisions

crisp halo

#

You can be admitted into the university without being admitted to your major

#

University wide admission looks at your fit at the school as a whole

#

while the school specific AOs look at how you would fit in that specific program

#

Ah I see makes sense

Thanks!

What does it mean that I have a seat reserved in a major?

seems like it

i got the same email but they didnt reserve anything for me 😦

#

told my ass to stay in L&S

signal condor
humble elk
#

business

#

global management i think

shy pine
#

so there s this thing caller impacted major in Berkeley

#

so normally you re accepted into L&S and then take major prereqs and just declaew right

#

but these specific impacted majors like Global Studies or Political Economy etc. are in really high demad so the declarition process is really difficult and selective and some majors have like %10 acceptance rate

#

so what berkeley did was they admitted you directly into that major cuz you were just so amazing

#

congrats!

Stanford is just a pinnacle

Haas just isn’t keeping up with that 40 billion endowment
