<p>If you didnt receive the mail from USC today, did you pretty much get rejected?</p>
<p>People in my area did but I haven’t yet … We live in nearby neighborhoods too</p>
<p>i’m curious about this too… i live in the socal area and i haven’t received anything</p>
<p>Same ppl around me have gotten accepted and I’ve gotten nothing…</p>
<p>i live in socal and havent recieved anything yet, but my friend has been accepted for the spring so i am not sure</p>
<p>So I guess my assumption is true?</p>
<p>I got my acceptance packet today, but I’m like 20 minutes away, and some friends in the valley haven’t gotten their decisions yet.</p>
<p>It feels like everyone in SoCal who got accepted received an acceptance and no rejection, so I think its safe to assume that if you live in SoCal and havent received mail then you’re most likely rejected.</p>
<p>just saying but i think both acceptances and rejections were sent in one single wave since one of the posts, quoted from Smother’s post #997 in “USC Class of 2017 applicants!” thread,
“Seabasstian, my daughter is sharing in your pain. I think getting the yellow envelope but being rejected from SCA made it worse because she thought she got in…”
so not receiving anything in the mail today doesnt necessarily mean that you got rejected, keep your hopes up guys!!</p>
<p>As an undergrad alumnus (and current grad student), congratulations to anyone admitted this year! </p>
<p>If you were not admitted, there are plenty of other great universities (including Berkeley, NYU, UCSD, etc), so don’t worry (plus, maybe, you’ll have a chance to go to 'SC for grad school).</p>
<p>@coffeebeann: I don’t see why that example contradicts the idea that not having gotten mail by now means you’re rejected. The girl thought she’d been accepted but hadn’t really.</p>
<p>I have obsessively searched college confidential, twitter, and instagram to find the location of students who received admission today and I have come to the conclusion that the farthest the packets reached was about 35 miles away from campus. I live in San Diego, so it definitely relieved some anxiety to know that there way no way the acceptance letter could’ve reached all the way down here in a day. If your live within 35 miles of campus, I would be more worried that no letter means a rejection but it’s definitely not absolute. Sometimes some mail just takes longer and you could definitely receive an acceptance in the mail tomorrow!</p>
<p>Normally for priority mail its one day form LA to Orange County. Judging from all the photos posted by USC Admissions with ALL those boxes of envelopes–certain zones (you can see they tagged and sorted by zones) why mail arrived in LA and Ventura County first. OC has two High Schools that represent a large population of admitted students, so knowing USPS they saw that motherload come in and muttered, “oh yeah its that time of the year AGAIN–take the week off”–since its USPS, no way will they add extra staff to handle the USC mail. I’d bet that if I had a priority mail envelope sent from USC on the 26th to my office without the USC logo it would have been here on the 27th.</p>
