<p>Can someone explain to me what this “enrollment box” is all about? I’m very confused. </p>
<p>When I log onto my account, it just has the “being reviewed” status. It’s been like that for a while… maybe 1-2 months.</p>
<p>HOW TO USE THE LINKS:</p>
<p>1) Open USConnect in Internet Explorer. Not Firefox, Internet Explorer. Or whatever you use normally to view USConnect. I find that IE is the most reliable for this job. If you use Firefox you can go to the “admitted applicants” page from the dropdown menu and log in manually by clicking the “enrollment deposit” box. But that’s the long way. If you try copy and pasting the URL into Firefox, you’ll just get a blank page.
2) Log in to USConnect. You may want to check the Admission tab first to see if you’ve gotten the boxes on your portal yet. If not, then move onto step 3.
3) Without closing the page where you just logged in, copy and paste the link into the same page’s URL box. Go to the new URL. It’s important that you don’t close the page where you initially logged in, otherwise it will log you out and you’ll get a blank page.
4) A white page will come up with the “enrollment deposit” box in the top left corner. Click the box.
5) It will either say “user is unauthorized” or it will have a form pre-filled with your name, address, etc. You want the latter.</p>
<p>I still wonder how people found this enrollment link?? </p>
<p>If anyone interested: my status changed from forwarded to being reviewed. I got the DHL email 2 days ago and the link takes me to the deposit form.
Still, although everthing indicates that im in, Im so anxious…</p>
<p>same as nilufer, im just worried its a rejection letter and ill look like an ahole for telling everyone i got in :s</p>
<p>@ thisismyhandle:
and that is exactly why i was soooo afraid to tell anyone about the package that is on the way 
I only told (as if its nothing important) a few of my friends that USC was just sending something and that I neede to keep an eye on the mailbox :D</p>
<p>I got the link to work although it says user is unauthorized. ): Has anyone received their admissions packet and gotten the same results? I think most likely I’ve been rejected because I applied back on December 1st, and my status has been forwarded since the end of January, and the backdoor link seems to be a tad bit discouraging. :(</p>
<p>Some applicants HAVE gotten an admissions packet without the link working. Some other applicants have said that it takes a week for the links to work sometimes. To top it off, decisions will still be released through the end of March. You have nothing to worry about, there’s still plenty of time. :)</p>
<p>I’m in the same position as you Secrecy. I applied before Dec. 1 and have had the forwarded status for awhile now. All we can do is wait. Too bad USC is my top choice but who really knows what’s going to happen at this point.</p>
<p>Same as you two, forwarded for a while now</p>
<p>It appears there are two categories of “forwarded.” The ones who have had it for over a month, like you guys, and the ones who just got it, like myself.</p>
<p>Mine changed from “forwarded” to “being reviewed”…</p>
<p>^ So far everyone who has been accepted went from “forwarded” to “being reviewed” recently.</p>
<p>^ Uh oh, then it’s not looking like a good sign for Secrecy and I…</p>
<p>You still have a few weeks. I think that the change from forwarded to being reviewed means that your letter has been sent in the next wave.</p>
<p>I’ve been reviewed the entire time and the enrollment deposit just says user unauthorized. I guess we’ll see.</p>
<p>what if you’re still stuck at fall grades!? mine hasn’t even turned into forwarded yet… does this mean they haven’t looked at it or have they already rejected me?</p>

<p>As you probably know, I too have this status. From what I remember, I previously had a status that said “Preliminary review completed” or something like that. Then, I received a letter in the mail asking for fall grades. When I submitted them online (even though I sent them in with official transcripts as well earlier in the year) my status changed to the “We received the fall grades…” one. So, I think that in the next few days our statuses should change to “Committee Review” or “Forwarded.”</p>
<p>Basically, I think it means that USC has taken a first look at our application, wanted to check in with our final senior grades, and have yet to make a final decision on our admission. Sometime soon, I think our applications will be sent in for committee review, and whether or not we get accepted, we will be “forwarded.” I don’t necessarily think having this status is a bad thing, I think they just haven’t made a final decision on our apps yet.</p>

i have no idea what mine said before because i didn’t check until after i got my grades request letter. But I think your theory seems like it is the most intelligent one. I don’t understand the difference between committee review and forwarded though. Which one do we want ours to change to?</p>
<p>Also, i was asked for grades and my grades were very subpar, 4 Bs and 3 As (But I took 5 AP classes), do you think this really hurts my chances?</p>
<p>I’m not too sure about the difference between committee review and forwarded, so I guess we will have to wait and see what our statuses change to in the next few days.
Also, I don’t think 4 Bs and 3 As would hurt your chances, because as you stated, you took on a rigorous course load. My fall grades consisted of 5 As and 1 B, with 3 AP classes (the B was in one of the AP classes, as well).</p>
<p>A little off topic, but was anyone accepted without the enrollment deposit working? (maybe there will be a little hope to look at the mail on monday/tuesday)</p>
