<p>I know that there was a thread going around saying that it's normal if you haven't received an update and such but now I'm starting to get worried. I'm especially worried because it's almost April 1st and my usc login still says "thank you for submitting part II application".</p>
<p>Anyone else in the same boat?</p>
<p>me too.. except mine says "your application is being reviewed by the admission committee" and date 1/7/09.. i think i'm rejected..</p>
<p>you know what I've realized? that worrying really won't get us anywhere. usc is my top choice. I've received a status update march 19 with no link, which may potentially lead to a rejection. if something is going to happen, it will happen. we cannot change it. at this point, i advise you to just wait it out until you get a letter from usc (acceptance or rejection). i've spent a crazy amount of time on here...and what's the result? I still haven't heard back from usc and sometimes i just get frustrated on here. cc is such a useful site, but if you use it too much, it can really affect you negatively...especially when you are just waiting to hear back...</p>
<p>i havent heard back yet either, glad to know that im not the only one.</p>
<p>all we can do now is wait.</p>
<p>That's true candy. I really need to put things in perspective and just wait. </p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>My D applied for BFA acting in Dec and the only change on her page was "status updated Mar 13" - I've been reading all of the applicable posts and still I'm not sure of the significance of this status thing. I see it as good or bad and it doesn't seem like anyone knows for sure. It also seems to be that when the status is changed twice in one week, it means something is getting ready to happen. I didn't know about this CC until a few days ago so this thing about "status update" is totally new to me. I didn't even know to go to the admission's site and check so I don't know what it said before the status update on Mar 13! (Neither did my D - she's not even close to being as anxious about the whole thing as I am - well I guess SOMEONE has to be worried and I'm just the one for the job) I know there a many posts on this subject but I'm reading every one so keep them coming!</p>
<p>yes, i forced myself to put things in perspective because I have become totally addicted to this site. i would rush out of school to get on at like 3 and stay on the site until 9:30...that is 6 1/2 hours on the site just refreshing the page, reading comments, and occasionally replying...this addiction has taken away from my happiness, mental well-being, physical activity, everything...and I've decided to stop. I am not saying CC is a bad site. it's probably one of the most useful ones. it's just that I have abused it soo much that my life was starting to revolve around it...
just think of this:
what will happen if USC rejects me?
-it's an excellent school, but it's not the end of the world. Life goes on, and I'm sure you will be happy in another school. the only reason somebody should be worried (at the level i was until now) would be if they only applied to usc...haha. i'm sure not many people did that. that would be crazy!</p>
<p>I think I'm at the point where worrying stops and preparing myself for the worst. If I do get rejected, I'll transfer/appeal. :D</p>
<p>I really doubt you'll get rejected nagooya. I have faith in you and everyone on here that applied to USC :)</p>
<p>Thanks Shane :D</p>
<p>I'm kind of hoping for Spring Admission then I appeal and go in the fall! YAY! hahahaha</p>
<p>I wouldn't rely on the USC status updates. If something from them doesn't come in the mail by 4/1, then I'd start to worry/call them.</p>
<p>candy45, I totally get that. It's been pretty awful...I mean, I love (most of) the people on CC, particularly on the USC board, but it takes over your life. We just gotta sit back and distract ourselves while we wait. It's not really in our power anymore, so why worry about it? I have like a daily mental breakdown in the evening, after not hearing anything and not getting anything in the mail, but you know, we're all going to know next week. Just got to wait...</p>
<p>So I'm with you. I'm going to attempt to stop coming here temporarily...but we'll see how that works out...</p>
<p>^Haha, that is like so hard for me though. For the past 2 weeks or so, I've been doing the same thing. I get home, check the mail and the USC board on CC. It's a daily routine. But yeah, it's true-there's nothing else we can do, so we might as well just sit back and TRY to relax. I wish USC just had acceptances/rejections all at once...</p>
<p>yeah i know i wish it came out all at once</p>
<p>I had a dream I got a status update and I was dating Miley. </p>
<p>Then I woke up :(</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p><em>LOL at nagooya</em></p>
<p>And everyone, I bet we'll look back once this is over, whether we got in or not, and laugh about it. Everyone keep your hopes up! Its like an adventure :D. Technically there is no rejection until..well...after april 1st. </p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>oh noo. not this miley nonsense again!</p>
