Looking to gauge when EA decisions start coming out!! If you have received yours, please note in-state/OOS and major. THX
I’m from NJ. I applied early october. Last year a girl from my hometown heard back early November I think. But it’s mostly early December.
My son is a freshman this year. He applied right before the 10/15 deadline last year and found out on 11/7. Many of his friends had to wait until the week of 12/11. I think it may depend on who is reviewing your app and what your major is.
What was your son’s major and what were his grades like?
Sports Management. He got a merit scholarship. He is an OOS student.
Hmm. D19 received an email tonight confirming they had her highest SAT score on record and asking her to update with any other missing scores.
This doesn’t sound good. Might be on the bubble.
Has anyone received anything similar?
I got this email yesterday but got nothing in the mail today. 
Hoping for this week!
My son received the same email. I didn’t take it as bad…My thoughts are just a final check for merit scholarships? We have been thinking positive as he keeps getting communication regarding qualifying for Honors College.
My daughter received the same email. She has a very high ACT score so I think that it is just a general/generic email blast. I wouldn’t read anything negative into it.
My daughter got her decision last year on 11/6, as an OOS student.
My daughter received the same email. I’m hoping it means their decisions will be released soon.
Can you tell me how offers are communicated from USC? Through the mail, website or email? Thank you!
@Badgersmom - decisions are sent via US Mail. It looks like the first wave was mailed out this time last year, Crossing our fingers…
The envelopes last year had a big Yes on the back. We were surprised because it was much earlier than the stated release date. Keep in mind, you may have another week for the early releases because, I think, the EA date was moved back a week as a result of the hurricane? Last year’s deadline was 10/15.
I wonder if things might be delayed a week or so this year since the deadline for submission slipped from 10/15 to 10/ due to the hurricane impacts.
I asked the question yesterday to USCAdmissions on twitter and was told to expect notifications in mid-Dec.
@DCNatFan I think that is their standard answer but I think you will see some acceptances coming out in the next week or two (if history repeats itself).
Follow the Twitter page also–something about USC Admissions. People who followed that last year had a heads up when decisions were going out so I always paid attention to when those things were posted. My freshman also found out the first week of November last year which was SO nice as it was her top pick and she got to relax after that!
Looking back at last & prior year admissions notifications (by big “yes” envelope) and taking into account the delay caused by hurricanes Florence & Michael I expect EA’s to go out Friday… OOS NJ D17
Good luck to all !
I heard all EA decisions will be out by December 11. I’m so excited!
Awesome! Hopefully they start flowing out this week!!
