Does USC email decisions? And are these all at once or batches?
@IVCUSA11 I’m pretty sure they mail decisions all at once sometime in late March.
Mail beautiful packages if accepted, letter if not. Email sent two days after mail goes out but depends on how fast mail delivery is to see what comes first. Intent is to get mail package first - it is old school way but so much more special/powerful than opening an email.
Hmm I like the idea of letters, but I hate waiting. Most of my college decisions will be posted online, so it is nice to have a change.
when do letters come for regular decision?
Just got a package from USC with a letter and a nice little booklet on their financial aid. It was addressed to my parents, and the letter said that USC was delighted to learn of my interest in the school, discussed what USC could offer me as a student, talked up their financial aid program, and ended by saying that USC looked forward to working with my parents. Did anyone else receive a package like this? I’m not sure if it actually means anything about my chances or if it’s just sent out to everyone haha.
@frozens
I got something similar. Perhaps they send it to everyone who has a USC ID or has expressed interest by asking for more info?
Got it over a month ago, I guess just after we applied. Doesn’t mean a thing, sorry. Here comes the fun - the time of year when everyone guesses that something may mean something! You won’t be the last to wonder if a relationship exists between any piece of mail received. A likely letter (if you have ever heard of those) are very obvious. If you have to ask, it usually means nothing 
^That’s what I suspected . Definitely knew it wasn’t a LL haha. I also haven’t sent my CSS profile in yet, so it may have also been their way of telling me to get that done 
Got one of those too
Ahh I’m so nervous. Does anyone know if the notification about scholarships that go out later this month/early February is through email or postal mail?
I am hoping scholarship decisions come out at the end of this month!
I called last week and it was confirmed that they’ll come before February 1st!
@FriendlyNerd888 Thanks! So I will start a countdown to Jan. 31
Hey guys for the scholarship notification at the end of this month, is it only for those who are finalists for the presidential and NMF?? Because was just wondering if someone were to get the Dean’s scholarship but applied before December 1st, would the notification be sent out this month or in the regular wave in March?
Hmm I’m wondering if you applied to Thornton is you can still be considered for the big scholarships (considering auditions arent until late January)
It’s probably merit based off how well you do at auditions? Anyone know?
Last year the notification letter for scholarship interview (and acceptance) was dated 01/24/2014, any guesses for which date this year?
Big News for all applicants. Not just scholarship applicants.
@co4usc2016
From their twitter-
@USCAdmission: First-year students who submitted their applications by the December 1 deadline will receive an application update by early February.
Wow, that’s amazing. Thanks for posting.
gaaahhhh I would be extremely happy to just get nominated (and accepted)
