Applied on Sep, admitted on Nov 5, 2015. BUT on Nov 11 got email from FinAid saying congratulations. Checked youSC, there was nothing. Turns out they sent decision letter to youSC portal using the email provided on my resume, not the one I applied with. USC did not send me an email to check youSC. Supper happy! Now to figure out a way to pay for it...

Does anyone know academically eligible for fall could result in a spring in official letter? I haven't received the official one yet, only the academic eligibility notification.
