<p>even though it's easier said then done..stay positive.
i hadn't gotten a status update since Dec. until 3 days ago</p>
<p>I applied by the December 1st deadline so I hope that's not true.</p>
<p>^I hope that's not true. I turned mine in way before Dec 1...which means my status update might be a rejection</p>
<p>well you still have to april 1st for sure, it was mainly for those who applied on the jan 10th date</p>
<p>Crap... last updated 2/03... Im screwed LOL</p>
<p>last updated 2/25/09 ... i guess i'm just not destined to go to cali :'[</p>
<p>don't give up mine got updated today after being stuck in january.. but hopefully i'll get the 2nd update on friday.. after rejection from ucla.. i need something positive. (i know i'll get rejected by berkeley tomorrow)..</p>
<p>Guys who not yet had updates--</p>
<p>I would just like to point out that it is not April 1st yet :] Keep your chins up, everyone! I can't be the only one fighting to keep my head above the water. Believe in yourself!</p>
<p>I know that sounds superlame, but I mean it!</p>
<p>well i mean, this is the most mass update ive seen in a while, and since the other thread said that decisions were being made tonight, and a status update is usually a good thing... sounds pretty bad haha</p>
<p>I got an update today after not having one since DECEMBER!
If you haven't received an update yet, don't lose hope. I had to wait over 3 months!</p>
<p>so does status update mean we're pretty close to being accepted? or does it mean they are reading ours right now and making the decision?</p>
<p>I don't think that all the decisions are being FINIALIZED tonight. Correct me if I am wrong though, but it seems to me they wouldn't be able to get through all of them, only that they are continuing to work into the evenings...sooo idk?</p>
<p>There will be a few lucky ones that got a 3/25/09 update where the USC adcom might decide on your app tonight. The 3/25/09 means that yesterday they began viewing your application.</p>
<p>I dont get it... shouldn't they have began viewing our apps months ago?</p>
<p>who of you guys had relatives/parents who went to usc?</p>
<p>mi padre went there</p>
<p>Actually that's the common misconception. I think that update a month ago meant that they are working on the pile where your app is in.</p>
<p>i got my first update on 3/23, then the oasis link on 3/25(but haven't received a letter yet). so if you got your first update today, expect another one in twoish days! good luck!</p>
<p>I got a 3/25 update. My last one was 12/19.</p>
<p>oh *** i just got update like right now
hahaha...
well even if i don't get in i still have wustl...but i really want to go to USC :]</p>
<p>I will be praying for another update/oasis link.</p>
