Yes. Wish my current scholarship offer were enough to make USC viable for me so I could take advantage of it.

Everyone did, we are talking about it over in the accepted students thread.

I also wish my current scholarship would have been high enough.

monkeyKT wrote:has anyone successfully negotiated scholarships?

Just got shot down for a negotiation using less money from a slightly higher ranked school, which led me to be really annoyed about getting the 2k/year if you put in a seat deposit email an hour later. I just told them I won't commit without an increased scholarship, not just offering me the 2k is kind of insulting.

Hahaha Laws it's such a hilarious thread. By the way, I really enjoyed reading your posts about the WashU ASW. I wish I could make it. Anyway, I just put down my deposit a few hours ago and I guess I'll be in St. Louis this fall!

Me too! It's officially April. Let's hope we see at least some movement this afternoon. I'm still at CR2 as of 5 minutes ago.

This cycle has been really fucking weird and it seems like a lot of seat deposit deadlines have moved. I'm not expecting any real waves until after the 15th.

Hopefully it's at least April 14th so we can have one day before other deposits are due hahah but yeah I definitely agree. I feel the same way.

USC's first deposit deadline isn't until May 1st...an entire month away.

Yes but UCLA's is mid APRIL. This day also falls shortly after the ASW for both USC and UCLA AND most T-14 schools have early April deadlines so USC will start to see a lot of people withdrawing to go elsewhere OR firming up their commitment after seeing the school. This is also the scholarship reservation deadline for USC, it's just a form, no money is required, but I assume it will cause at least some people to check the "No, I do not wish to reserve my scholarship, I am not coming to USC" option. So April 15th USC will definitely have a good number of withdraws.

Edit to correct my own stupidity.

Anyone's thoughts on writing a loci if you've been waiting a while?

I sent a Why USC? a few weeks ago and they wouldn't accept it.

Why don't they just waitlist people?? What is the advantage to their yield/acceptance rate which is why they wait.

Itstatertot · Post by **Itstatertot** » Thu Apr 02, 2015 4:34 pm

Looks like there might have been an acceptancea an hour ago on lsn

I'm sorry that you all have been waiting so long, ugh! I think USC is trying to get back to 18 again.

If I don't hear anything by tomorrow night, I'm gonna start assuming a waitlist/ding.

For USC, isn't the key date 5/1? When their deposit deadline is due?

Ya that would be the next one !!
