Application status confusing me...

<p>I was curious to see if my transcripts had arrived yet so I checked my USF application status and found that the chart says that they haven't, and I haven't paid my fee yet (which is true, I'm planning to do that tonight) but underneath the chart it says:</p>

We have completed our initial review of the academic credentials in your file and are deferring our final admission decision for an additional review. A final decision will be made shortly and you will be notified by mail of the decision.

<p>What does this mean?</p>

<p>Strange!</p>

<p>Considering your stuff isn’t in, being deferred isn’t a big deal, it makes no sense that they would post a decision, though.</p>

<p>I’d submit everything, then email them.</p>

<p>I don’t think USF will begin doing much of anything with your application until they receive your application fee or waive the fee–that’s what they told me 3 years ago when I applied.</p>

<p>I submitted the fee and that portion went away. I don’t know what that was though, lol. Let’s hope I get accepted once my transcripts arrive!</p>
