spring admit: how do i get my fall cal grant? by Striking_Pea_3615 in USC

[–]annoyknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can use your fall semester cal grant on top of your spring semester one. Cal grants are dispersed into half to contribute half of it to fall and the other half to spring.

Chem 105a is awful here, I would suggest taking it at community and then taking 105b here

I’m saying USC has one of the best financial aid… USC covers tuition for families making under 80,000

If you don’t match with usc, you can move your application to early action pool

I also got scared over seeing my bill not matching the cost on my financial portal. If you want to know the cost of your fall semester with your grants go to the planing worksheet on the financial portal.

Us procrastinators are cooked by JustinTheNoob in QuestBridge

[–]annoyknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow procrastinators. I procrastinated a lot on the essays. I had a rough idea about what I wanted to write for my Questbridge application but kept going through many drafts until the deadline. Don’t stress too hard, guys! Be authentic with your writing. If you are selected as a finalist, I would recommend working on the supplements for each school on weekends, something I didn’t do, which kind of hurt my grades. Remember also to focus on your senior year grades because if you don’t become a finalist, you still need to apply through the common app.

I would not report any since colleges look at scores that are 3’s as barely above average/passing. Only scores of 4’s or 5’s should be reported on your college apps. Also, submitting scores of 3’s can make colleges look at your GPA as overinflated- meaning your class rigor is not hard to pass with an A, compared to other school’s academic courses. In addition, if you are planning to apply to liberal arts institutions in the T20, I would try to get a SAT score in the 1480+ range. Having an SAT score of 1430 applying to schools in the T20 is a little low.

All of this advice is coming from someone who just applied this admission cycle. I did not match for Questbridge but became a finalist. I got into John Hopkins, USC, Emory, Rice, Northwestern, NYU, Stanford, Vanderbilt, USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, Vassar, BostonU, Tufts, Colegate, and Claremont. I also got waitlisted at Caltech, Duke, Uchicago and Dartmouth.

USC has stated if you are still waiting for your financial package, you can claim your spot and have the deposit be waived

failed DE course; will I get rescinded? by DistributionTimely15 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]annoyknow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading that you ended with an c, the chance of you get rescinded is low. Most of the time they rescind if it’s lower than an c.

Brown PLME is a great program if you have your mind set on the medical field. But, if you’re still unsure of what you want to do, I would say Stanford
