<p>Also, the backdoor method works for me. Does that mean I get a # next to my name, Master Dream? :)</p>
<p>I say if Dream doesn’t get accepted we all storm the csa on his/her behalf and demand it. We love you Dream!!</p>
<p>*sca, oops!</p>
<p>heyy any updates anyone?</p>
<p>once again happy st pattys i went to london to try and forget bout usc status right now</p>
<p>but cant!!!</p>
<p>anyway hope all is well with everyone</p>
<p>still no change for me and backdoor does not work</p>
<p>i have a question for anyone, but also for wghiller specifically:</p>
<p>i just checked OASIS for the first time today and was really confused status wise. I am a transfer applicant so according to SCA they arent even going to look at transfer apps till after april 1st. not surprising considering the volume of freshman apps. but on my OASIS status it reads</p>
<p>"The committee has acted on your application, and we have mailed notice of the decision. If for some reason you do not receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results this over the phone beginning June 11th. " </p>
<p>uh… what? my usconnect is still at the standard “we have received” status, which i trust more than OASIS anyway since that is the main gateway for people to receive info from USC. and not to mention that the status has a grammar error in there (the ‘this’ in the middle of nowhere)</p>
<p>i just wanted to know what you all might have listed under your OASIS status. because it is WAY too early for me to be hearing back from USC since I’m a transfer applicant. theyre not even done with freshman yet. i think its a distinct possibility that OASIS is not updated with usconnect. but still worth asking around.</p>
<p>I’m in SCA!!!</p>
<p>That’s awesome! Congrats!!!</p>
<p>Oh it’s TV/Film Production. USC packet and SCA letter together!</p>
<p>Congrats quwayo–that is so exciting!</p>
<p>quwayo omg that is so amazing congratulations!! what was your postmark date//where are you from??</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! Got the envelope today! Both USC and SCA!</p>
<p>swatdojo–That is crazy! I checked last year’s forum and yea, no one heard back this early. But maybe it’s right…hopefully so. If it means you’re hearing back this early, you have to think that’s a good thing, right?</p>
<p>My USCConnect and OASIS statuses are the same. Here is what it says:</p>
<p>We have received and are currently reviewing your application. We recommend you check here occasionally for an update on the status of your application.</p>
<p>Congrats kookie and quwayo. What state are you guys in? </p>
<p>wghiller: What is OASIS and how do you access it?</p>
<p>I am heading with my family to Mexico tomorrow. Guess I will have to wait it out.</p>
<p>@quwayo and kookie: Congratz!!! that’s really exciting!!</p>
<p>@wghiller: hah i dont know what to think… although one possibility is that this is my second time applying. I applied back in 08 when i graduated HS but due to my lazy senior year mindset, i hardly put anywhere near the amount of effort i should have into my USC application. and i know for a fact my essay that year was horrible… ah what a mistake. but i needed that wakeup call to push the last 2 years to make my app MUCH stronger this year.</p>
<p>anyway the possibility is this: when i applied that year, the last status i remember getting on OASIS was the “acted on…etc…april 1st” which COULD mean that they never changed my OASIS status somehow and it automatically updated when they registered my USCID as being a transfer this year. i dont know for sure but that could be one reason. its definitely too early to hear though.</p>
<p>EDIT - @nw: this is the link to OASIS <a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/ESD/IOL/login.aspx[/url]”>https://camel2.usc.edu/ESD/IOL/login.aspx</a> you can make an account with your USCID and birthday i think. oasis its an alternate way to check your status, documents, etc.</p>
<p>WOAH, okay so i think oasis was following me around CC… my status just now changed to the “we have received”. so yeah, it was probably just a ghost status from 08</p>
<p>Backdoor links still don’t work for me. Timish, have you been changed to “being reviewed”?</p>
<p>OASIS is requiring a USC email username. I don’t have a USC email address-is that something they authorize you to have? I have USC # but not email address. Any ideas?</p>
<p>did you go here? <a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/ESD/IOL/pages/register.aspx[/url]”>https://camel2.usc.edu/ESD/IOL/pages/register.aspx</a> thats the register page, it should only ask you for your ID and Birthday</p>
<p>@Dream, no I’m still on forwarded, which is why when the enrollment thing popped up with my info in it I was REALLY surprised. I’ll let you know when my status changes, because it seems odd that I was able to log in without the new status.</p>
<p>Of course, there’s nothing in it about SCA, and it could just be a fluke that I got in. Or, I could end up getting my admission rescinded for logging in haha. Ah well.</p>

<p>From everything I’ve read, the backdoor entrance is almost a guarantee of admission. In fact I don’t want to say anything <em>for sure</em>, but I’ve never read about an instance where someone logged in backdoor and then was ultimately rejected?</p>
<p>I hope you get into the writing program, timish! You’ll be the first person since Keely to be accepted, and there are only 25 spots total. It would be quite an honor…good luck!</p>
