<p>At this hectic time of year, I decided to start this thread to unite the applicants who are DESPERATELY waiting to hear back from USC. I'm sure there are many decisions yet to be made... I know that by sharing our own individual situations, we'll be able to help each other cope through the stress and anxiety. </p>
<p>(If you are uncomfortable sharing your stats, please simply state the DATE you've submitted your application and your LOCATION)</p>
<p>Let me start...</p>

<p>I am super nervous too! I am waiting on news, but I haven't heard any yet. Although, I haven't seen anyone from Washington on the lists yet; maybe that's a good sign...</p>

<p>Location: Western Washington</p>
<p>Application submitted: Dec 10</p>
<p>All this could have to do with the fact that I submitted my app so close to the deadline. I really want to get in and maybe get considered for one of the scholarships!</p>
<p>Need scholarship to attend, however things are not looking up...but chilltown...you haven't gotten your package yet??? Perhaps there is hope left after all.</p>
<p>I know we are all feeling stressed out at the moment, but if you look back a year from now in this forum, 'SC sent out another wave in early Feb. If you don't get the letter before the late end of Feb, then it's time to worry. Right now, I'm just going to try to wait it out and pray that I get it some time this week or next week. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>I live in So. CA and applied before the deadline. <em>sigh</em> There's still hope!</p>
<p>I am seeing a pattern, though. We all submitted our applications on Dec. 10. I think this means we can still get considered, they are just coming out a little later. <em>Breathes sigh of relief</em></p>
<p>I just checked, and it looks like people are still getting their acceptance letters.</p>
<p>I like this thread, it makes me feel hopeful!</p>
