countdown to admission

<p>it's like gold, socks. like gold.</p>

<p>haha bluebeard, i like you already. Hope you get a scholarship!</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>i'll let ya know</p>

<p>possibly tomorrow or three days from now. i'm giddy.</p>

<p>i got a letter from usc today ! </p>

<p>unfortuneatly, not THAT letter. the letter said they were missing my personal statement. !! i cannot believe they lost my freaking personal statement! i freaking hand delivered it along with the rest of my app (all in one pile). so i'm faxing it in... if the freaking "encoded cover sheets" every print from my stupid computer.</p>

<p>grrrr. if their incompetance stops me from being considered for a scholarship i am going to be furious.</p>

<p>My sense is they have some organizational issues.</p>

<p>They lost a few of my items, as well...the only school that did. But they are timely about letting you know they've recieved stuff and/or...not :P. Haha. It took some of my other schools a month to say they got my app. </p>

<p>Is there some geographic divide in notification time? I.e. the guy from Dubai might not get his letter until mid Feb., but people from Cali might get them tomorrow? Or is it more, "we did this app first" or "this batch was strongest"?</p>

<p>yeah, after i set up a gateway account and downloaded the personally encrypted fax coversheets i sent in all my stuff. hopefully the papers will go straight into my file. good news is they received my test scores and transcript and have already reviewed them (my grades and scores are both very strong).<br>
hopefully we'll still hear in not too long...</p>

<p>oh my goodness we find out that early? Do you mean scholarship acceptance/rejection or acceptance/rejection to the actual university?</p>

<p>i cant wait!</p>

<p>Acceptance letters are starting to arrive now. Good luck to all hoping for a scholarship.</p>

<p>ncb: For now it's just the scholarship people.</p>

<p>holy dang holy dang holy dang. i got in!!!</p>

<p>congrats bluebeard!</p>

<p>oh my, i am so ****ed that they lost my stuff. i faxed it all in last night but... !! am i no longer going to be considered for a scholarship since they didnt receive everything by dec 11? (i turned in the stuff but they lost it...)
:( this sucks</p>

<p>i'm sure they'll be fair in judging your application. don't get mad yet.</p>

<p>congrats bluebeard! i hope us other socalers still have a chance considering that others in the area seem to have gotten theirs......</p>

<p>NO! I didn't get anything today. Maybe Monday... <em>prays hard</em></p>

<p>congrats bluebeard!!</p>

<p>did you get scholarship information with your acceptance or just acceptance into SC?</p>

<p>im pretty sure Admissions has already processed the things i faxed in on friday night (i LOVE my parents right now for having home businesses and therefore owning a fax machine). my gateway account says- documents received and reviewed:
-academic history
-SAT/ACT score
-High school transcript
-personal statement activity sheet
-transcript: P******* High School
-secondary school report</p>

<p>however, it also says:
documents needed:
-academic history
-personal statement activity sheet</p>

<p>but i guess they just didnt update the "We still need this" category</p>

<p>i have a shot right? 4.0 UW act 33? i am soooo stressed over this</p>

<p>how do you access your gateway account? i know i've already done this, but i can't remember how...</p>

<p>i figured out how to get to the login site, but it says that no one w/ my email address has registered. so i tried to activate my account using the USC ID that they gave me, but it doesn't work. </p>

<p>what does this mean, and how can you access your account, socks?</p>

<p>lol, socks. </p>

<p>you're in a better boat than me. my items recieved/reviewed has only one thing listed under it (transcript). and then for items needed or pending, nada.</p>

<p>and seriously, what is the diff b/w hs transcrpt, hs transcript: X, and a secondary school report? lol. that site is messed up :/.</p>
