i got a really good finaid package from usc and have committed. i was wondering if its likely to get reduced in the next couple years after freshman year. for context, my household makes less than 20k a year, but if my mom gets a better job (additional 10k usd), am i likely to lose a lot of my current aid? id hope not since we’d be making under 80k either way.

another thing is that usc advertises its coa as 103k a year. taking into account the student body’s spending culture etc, is this cost accurate, or is higher/lower for the average student?
