<p>I understand that USC will release decisions on/before April 1st.</p>
<p>My friend told me something, though, that I want to clarify with whoever is willing to respond (hopefully students currently enrolled, or students who are well-familiar with USC's admissions)</p>
<p>My friend told me that I should hear back by around March 15th. Any time after that is usually bad news. Is that true? I really need your answers guys, this is my dream school and I'm so beyond nervous about my decision.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Not true. If you hear back after April 1st it’s generally bad news. But otherwise, it’s good news. In fact, SCA applicants don’t usually hear back until the last few days of March.</p>
<p>If you look at the 2009 decisions thread, people received acceptance letters around March 24th as well. I would say that if you haven’t heard by the first week of April or so, you’re probably rejected. But I have no clue. That’s just conjecture.</p>
<p>But I thought you’d hear back the day of April 1st? Thats what they said.</p>
<p>They’ll make the decisions by April 1st but you might not necessarily get it in the mail until a few days after.</p>
<p>But I should be able to get them on my application on their website?
thats where I found out that I was “forwarded” but not sure what that means exactly</p>
<p>They don’t release decisions online, you have to wait for the letter. The status will only tell you that “the committee has acted upon your application.”</p>
<p>Most (most) acceptances are sent by the 15th. Spring admits are usually notified up until the week before april. After that it is usually (usually) all rejections</p>
<p>“Most (most) acceptances are sent by the 15th.”
gah, that’s news to me D:</p>
<p>from what i heard, they send their acceptances out first during march… and then after that its pretty much all rejections.</p>
<p>There should be a large wave of acceptances sent this Friday</p>
<p>not to sound rude 28thuniversity, but how do you know?</p>
<p>Last year’s second large wave was the first Friday in March based on the threads; the LA area started reporting the following day.</p>
<p>just keep in mind: everything is later for SCA. XD</p>
<p>I know because for the past few years this first friday of the month of march has been the big mailing day.</p>
<p>^for fall acceptances</p>
<p>this is very exciting. i hope you’re right 28thuniversity.</p>
<p>So 3/5/2010 decisions come out for Fall students? Or a large portion. nice</p>
<p>oh, god…that’s 5 days before my birthday. & i live in new jersey…meaning i could very well receive the decision ON my birthday D: : P
i hope they took that in to consideration while making a decision. but, ya know, probs not :o</p>
