<p>I saw your other post; I would expect a big envelope soon :-) Congrats!!!
My guess is that the Explore USC sessions are probably all filled (they do say they fill up) so maybe they're not putting access up for new admits. But everyone who could get into the RSVP site has been admitted, and one person got his letter recently but couldn't log into EXPLORE but could log into RSVP.</p>
<p>I think you are in!!!!! Again, Congrats. I'm still waiting :-(</p>
<p>I got through Explore USC website on Thursday, but still am waiting for the actual acceptance to see which section I got admitted to. I am so excited! I was getting rather impatient and worried.</p>
