<p>I got accepted, backdoor doesn’t work for me
Status went: Fall grades–>forwarded–> committee review</p>
<p>“Utah_Ace, fall or spring?”</p>
<p>^Fall</p>
<p>Is there anyone who is still on forwarded and can’t access the backdoor links that got an acceptance package?</p>
<p>Also, @actingmom, you have no idea how happy you just made me. 
The fact that your son didn’t change to “being reviewed” for a full 16 days gives me SO much hope for everyone who has been stuck on “forwarded” for two weeks, including myself.</p>

<p>jdmalexx did.</p>
<p>Thanks TrojAndrew! Whew. Glitches = hope.</p>
<p>dreamupsidedown: I must’ve not been around when you revealed your preference, if you ever did but </p>
<p>if you got into USC too, would you rather go there or to NYU? assuming equal FinAid packages.</p>
<p>Are there any schools above these two on your list?</p>
<p>@antonioray - I’m still waiting on USC. Are you SCA as well?</p>
<p>USC is my number one choice so I would definitely choose there over NYU. I think LA is a better place for people with my major. Also, there’s no possible way for my financial aid packages to be equal (my need is +45k… USC meets 100% of determined need while NYU only meets about 70%) so that probably affects my choice. Even if they were the same though, I think I prefer USC. Their film program is smaller and (in my opinion) a lot harder to get into. Plus, I’ve spent almost my entire life living in Chicago and I despise snow/coldness in general.</p>
<p>Another contender on my list is Carnegie Mellon because of their generous financial aid. I would choose CMU over NYU, but USC over CMU. Still waiting to hear from CMU, though.</p>
