<p>The signs are all there...
fall grades -> forwarded -> reviewed -> acted upon
The status progression of death.
Everyone with acted upon (that ive read) was rejected today in SoCal and its just a day or two more until the mail reaches my house. USC was my wildcard, none of my other schools offer what USC could offer which is a once in a lifetime education in an amazing place that would open up so many doors. While I like my safeties (Pitt, BU), its disappointing that nothing in my application stood out for me to successfully get into a "reach". Ive tried to remain positive, but at this point I realize that its all but over. I know all of us will succeed wherever we go, it just stings a bit and Im sure it will until I finally decide which school I will attend and get college fever again. For those of you feeling the same way, know that if youre on CC interested in seeing what your future holds, good things will happen to you as it shows that you really do care.
Good luck everyone, I really hope we get some acceptances out of this wave, its been fun!</p>
<p>My friend, the doors are opened by you, not the school you affiliate yourself with. Furthermore, happiness comes from within, not from without. If you go to your safety disappointed and somewhat bitter, you will project this. If you go to your safety with an open mind, knowing that you will meet outstanding people and have a good time, you will soon find that where you go does not really matter.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m applying to USC because I’d like to get out of Missouri and experience something new. The city is amazing and so is the weather. But if I don’t get in, I’m perfectly okay going to my local university ten minutes away on a full ride. As long as I put forth my greatest effort, every door will open for me for graduate school. </p>
<p>You will find amazing people anywhere you go, you being no exception.</p>
<p>meh, I’m a little ticked but OSU seems cool to me.</p>
<p>i was fall grades -> forwarded -> reviewed -> acted upon, and got in for spring, if that helps. some of my friends got their spring admissions today with the same status?</p>
<p>I just recently receive my decision and I was rejected. I felt really stupid worrying about the letter every week during each “wave”. There is really no point of worrying. You did a fantastic job and you have come so far. You should really be proud of yourself.</p>
<p>(I hope that helps? Sorry if it didn’t. i know that my rejection story is not exactly encouraging LOL)</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>spring admit still isn’t a good deal. You miss out on so much and I’m not talking about credits.</p>
<p>not worth it imo</p>

<p>When did your status change to “acted upon”? And which state are you from? Thanks :).</p>
<p>My status changed to acted upon today, I think.
I’m from California, by the way.</p>
