<p>Allll right, so up until today, my status was "in review" on 3/26, but today it changed to "acted on." Did this happen to EVERYONE who was still in review prior to today?</p>
<p>Yikes.</p>
<p>I think that's good news.</p>
<p>Everyone that's had acted upon has March 29th, so I guess April 1st is acceptance. I mean, they said they had acceptances left and I haven't seen any. =/</p>
<p>Can someone who had the 3/26 "in review" status and was accepted confirm that their status changed to "acted on" on 4/1? Anyone?</p>
<p>I just checked the mail (a little premature, since mail isn't supposed to be all out at my PO until 10:30, but whatever) and I didn't have anything from USC. But I do live in a rural part of WA.</p>
<p>I'm going to be SO annoyed if they didn't send out my decision until Monday. Didn't they say all remaining decisions would be sent out on 3/28? Geez.</p>
<p>I just checked - my S's was changed 4/1 to acted upon, after being "in review" since 3/26. Yesterday, he received admission for spring. I predict you're in! We're in urban WA, and the letter was mailed 3/28 USPS Priority.</p>
<p>Thanks rainmama! Yay Washingtonians! Haha. Is your S going for sure?</p>
<p>I won't go if I'm a spring admit, but I'll consider USC if they let me in for fall.</p>
<p>It's probably a spring admit since it changed to acted upon late.</p>
<p>I was just wondering what the deal was with spring admission? Does it really make that much of a difference if you start a couple of months later?</p>
<p>KBaher: My d's status changed to "Acted upon" today (4/1) and she was admitted yesterday in NJ for spring admit to Annenberg; given where you live, it's possible that your package (even though priority) could take longer than usual....</p>

<p>Yeah because then you'll be behind credits. It's like showing up to high school Freshman year second semester. =/</p>
<p>It's also a social thing. At USC, football season is huge. It would really suck to miss out on all of the beginning-year activities. Orientation, fall parties, etc. Everyone is in the mood to make new friends in the fall, but in the middle of the year, I would assume most people will have already settled into their social groups. </p>
<p>And it's actually worse than coming to high school second semester of freshman year, because your credits may or may not transfer to USC from a CC--most colleges want you to graduate from their school in four years, not three and a half.</p>
<p>But nevertheless, I will be grateful for an acceptance to USC. It will just be a sign that I should go to my current number one (Whitman College) as a fall admitted student instead.</p>
<p>Yeah, like with AP credits. Some universities, even though they take them, use tham as electives. Like if you scored a 5 on the English Lit test, they'll count it as an elective and you have to take Freshman English anyway. =/ The credit transfer thing is true and it would suck.</p>
<p>mine is sort of like rainmama's son..
mine was in review for a while then the date changed on 3/26 but stayed in review. then it changed to acted on on 4/1. but my letter was dated on 3/27..and i'm a spring admit</p>
<p>S is <em>still</em> in review...and nothing came in today's mail. 4 days for priority mail to Texas? I don't think so.</p>
<p>Yeah still in review in socal, this is so weird. I'm starting to hate the school for doing this to me. Hopefully something in the mail later today after school.</p>
