new to the site and just trying to get everything straight

<p>hi guys! so i'm new to this site and i'm just trying to understand everything that everyone is speculating. i applied to usc back in december, to the college of lets, arts, and sciences. right now my status is "forwarded," but i'm not sure for how long it's been like that, as these last few days have been the first time that i've been paying attention to my status. if i had to take a guess though, i'd say my status changed on 3/23. i'm from new york, so i realize that it can take up to a week for me to get any mail from socal. some people have been saying in other threads that the only acceptances this week have been for people who applied to marshall, and all of their statuses changed to "reviewed" before they got their packages. if my status is still "forwarded" should i assume that i won't be hearing anything until next week? i know that rejections are sent on and after april 1, so i can't be sure i'm rejected until then, but i also know that the school is highly competitive and definitely a reach school for me. anyways, if anyone could just verify all that i've said i would really appreciate it, since usc is my first choice and i'm desperately awaiting any sort of news! haha thank you!</p>
