Answers to some FAQ about acceptances, waves, statuses, etc...

<p>It probably means that they have all of your admission materials in order.</p>

<p>Thank you for your time Dream! Although the information doesn’t necessarily come to me as new (since I spend hours on this board everyday lol) but it will definitely be a big help for others who are new to the forum or simply got overwhelmed by the massive number of scattered threads regarding these FAQs. Greatly appreciated =)</p>

<p>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>What happens if it redirects you back to your application?
My status finally changed to “Under Review” [YAY!], but after trying the “backdoor” method I was re-directed back to my application</p>

<p>@zprophety - what did it change from? “fall grades”? try talking to oxolojo, she has the same problem.</p>

<p>@fulfillment and all the other posters - aww, thanks guys. :D</p>

<p>dream, if it says user is unauthorized, does it mean i’m rejected for sure?</p>

<p>No. It won’t let you log in until you’ve actually been accepted or a few days after. So if they haven’t made a decision then you won’t be able to look at it.</p>

<p>alright, thanks!</p>

<p>so, I’ve seen people posting from Texas, New Jersey, New York and so forth that they received their acceptances. If they live all the way on the east coast and I did not receive an acceptance on today, Tuesday, is it safe to assume I was not included in this 2nd wave?</p>

<p>It’s a strong possibility but your mail could just be slow.</p>

<p>@dream–just wanted to bump this to the front page because it is so informative.</p>

<p>Just to give some hope to some of those still stuck on forwarded, I was just admitted today as a Communication major and my status still is on forwarded. Neither of the “backdoor admission methods” ever worked for me. As a matter of fact, they still don’t work but I have the admission packet in my hand as we speak so there is hope! Keep the faith!</p>

<p>I can still log in to my USC account on the camel site, but suddenly my USConnect account stopped working! It doesn’t even let me request password, which leads me to believe that my account has been deleted. What could this mean? :&lt;/p>

<p>thanks WEARESC :slight_smile:
just gave me hope</p>

<p>is usc still giving out those minor scholarships that they mentioned on the “no scholarship” letter from january?
or do you have to commit first?</p>

<p>WEARESC, did you get your acceptance packet just today?</p>

<p>At einnob, yes I just received it this afternoon. I live in the bay area. The package was postmarked on march 12.</p>

<p>oh, okay. You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that! I thought they were ‘done’ sending out acceptances here because most of my friends got theirs on Monday.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>^^that gave me so much more hope than I could handle for the moment! I am once again excited. I began telling my mom that I just wanted to know either way at this point, because I can’t afford it anyway and it’s the ONLY one I’m waiting on (it still is, after all, my dream school of all time)!</p>

<p>However, you made me feel much much better. LOVE YOU WEARESC!!!</p>

<p>hahahah same here :)</p>
