<p>Has anyone who emailed the admissions department actually received a response other than the automated "we have recieved your email"?</p>
<p>If so, about how long did this take??</p>
<p>I got a response. It took about 3 weeks. Calling is much more practical.</p>
<p>I emailed once in October, and it took about 2 weeks. Then I emailed again about 2 weeks before the deadline, and they still haven't gotten back to me yet. :p</p>
<p>i emailed them and i honestly got a reply within 15 minutes..i got lucky</p>
<p>and this one other time, one of their people emailed me and he would reply to my questions within a day....so i guess its just hte timing of your messages, if they are checking their mail that day or not</p>
<p>If you email a specific counselor rather than <a href="mailto:admitusc@usc.edu">admitusc@usc.edu</a>, you are likely to get a quicker reply. Find yours at:</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I would recommend doing that as well. Whenever I e-mailed my region rep, I got a reply within the day :)</p>
