<p>Mine's said the 'done with preliminary review' for a while now. Since 1/04/08. Is that bad? When are the mailing times for acceptances until rejections? Can someone post answers here please. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Mine hasn't changed since Jan 17th. =/</p>
<p>Yep. Jan 4th here. Mine's been longer. I'm sure there's more. Is it bad though?</p>
<p>I applied for the scholarship deadline if that matters.</p>
<p>I don't think it matters. I called and asked twice already.</p>
<p>So it's not going to change I guess.</p>
<p>I don't think there's a good/bad to it. It just means that either they haven't gotten to your application yet or they just haven't been updating the status page lately.</p>
<p>Mine hasnt changed since Feb 5th.</p>
<p>My D's has also been stuck on "completed preliminary review" since 12/19. She also applied by the Dec 10 deadline -- actually sent mid-Novemeber. Confirmed with admissions office that everything in her file is complete. Very frustrating!</p>
<p>where are y'all seeing this date on the status page... i haven't seen it yet!</p>
<p>Okay, log on to your application. There are two red text boxes. One says USC only notifies you through mail. That's the red box. And under it is sort of a pinkish box that says the status of your application. Under that there's no box, but it says a date. That's the date your page was updated.</p>
<p>nickel thank you SO much.. i was logging on to the status check that was also the financial aid status and app checklist status... i now know what i'm looking at! thanks!!!!</p>
<p>yeah, mine hasn't changed since 12/18. I really wouldn't worry too much about it guys, yeah it's frustrating, but honestly, unless you have stellar stats, expect to get your decision around april.</p>
<p>Yeah, it makes me so nervous.</p>
<p>I just checked tonight! My status had been at preliminary review since the 3rd of December and now says this:</p>

<p>Woo, fight on! V</p>
<p>When did you turn in your application?</p>
<p>mine changed today too</p>
<p>Ah, still in preliminary review.</p>
<p>Then again, I live on the East Coast. Regardless, I'm not too optimistic...</p>
<p>I'm in the south and it's the same as Jan 17th. Nothing has changed yet. =/</p>
<p>thesmiths -- what state are you in?</p>
