[alamemom]

<p>Acceptances are arriving! Why hasn't someone started a stats thread??? This is my LAST time - someone else will have to do it next year :)</p>

<p>REMEMBER - STATS ONLY - NO DISCUSSION. Start a new thread for questions/comments. THANKS!</p>

<p>Here are instructions and a template you can use to help future generations of USC applicants!:</p>

<p>-Copy/paste all the text below from === to === into a new post (Do NOT include the ===)
-Delete the line that does not apply, i.e. Accepted or Rejected.
-Add your specifics on the X's.
-PREVIEW POST to see how it looks before you submit. Instead of clicking "Post Reply," choose "Go Advanced" so you can make adjustments before you post (believe me - I had to preview this several times before I got it right!!!)</p>
