Theory on the Statuses (Formulated by Quixotic Rick and I)

<p>won’t there be one this week and then one more the last week of march?</p>

<p>that would make sense. i hope so!</p>

<p>does anyone know when decisions came out last year? since there’s so much activity on this board, the older messages were deleted. but if there are any salvageable threads, it would give a lot of insight as to the weeks when usc releases march decisions</p>

<p>Well, here’s the [2011</a> Decisions Thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/294755-official-usc-class-2011-decisions-thread.html]2011”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/294755-official-usc-class-2011-decisions-thread.html).</p>

<p>Looking at that thread in more detail, a wave was sent out the third Friday of March with people posting around March 17-18, which was the weekend then. Thus, what we’ve assumed is pretty much confirmed. There was no wave sent out two days ago but the next wave will be the mid-March (third wave) to be released this Friday.</p>

<p>i applied to the college of letters arts and sciences and
I WAS asked for mid-year grades</p>

<p>Hey everybody,</p>

<p>My status just changed to:</p>

<p>Your application is being reviewed by the admission committee. We will mail notification of their decision by April 1. If for some reason you don’t receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results over the phone beginning April 11th.<br>
Status last updated: 3/9/2008 7:34:20 PM </p>

<p>That was all of about 15 minutes ago. My previous status was the, “we have received your mid-year grades” message. I received that letter specifically requesting my mid year grades, and I applied for the business administration major. Did anybody else get this very recent update?</p>

<p>If mine changed to “Your application is being reviewed by the admission committee. We will mail notification of their decision by April 1. If for some reason you don’t receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results over the phone beginning April 11th” on 2/28, is that a bad sign?</p>

<p>^ I wanna know that too. mine changed around the same date</p>

<p>So for this next wave of acceptances, will it be certain people who have been changed to “being reviewed” within the last 2 weeks? In other words, will USC be picking and choosing from the most recent set of status changes? Because obviously some people who were reviewed in early February, who haven’t received acceptances, are most likely rejected. Do people think I’m right?</p>

<p>gotta luhh dat: I am in the exact scenario. Mine changed around 3pm today. I also applied to Marshall.</p>

<p>How are your stats? Mine are not too great..</p>

<p>I was preliminary since Jan 17th and it just changes a few days ago to being reviewed. =/ But it still says Jan 17th. I have no clue what this means.</p>

<p>SVG: According to our theory, those who got “in review” in early February who haven’t been accepted yet are likely to be accepted next.</p>

<p>except why wouldn’t they have been accepted in the earlier wave? some of them were…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Waiting acceptance from another USC school</p></li>
<li><p>Something comes up in the finalization that potentially pushes them to admit -</p></li>
</ol>

<p>svg: i was having such a good time thinking i was gonna be accepted. now why must you go and do that (that being ruining my party)</p>

<p>all this waiting is painful. everyone add me to your aim let’s talk… :)</p>

<p>my status just changed on about march 6th from preliminary (since december 19th 3:00:07 PM) to being reviewed by the admissions committee blah blah mailed by april 1 or phone by april 11</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure this puts me into the deny+ category but they never requested my mid-years even though i sent them in, and my status never changed.</p>

<p>i applied to architecture so hopefully thats the holdup. maybe next week (if they’re mailed out friday this week, i live in NJ so i definately won’t get it on saturday)</p>

<p>the suspense is deadly.</p>

<p>According to the theory, the people that are going to be in the NEXT wave are the people that had “being reviewed” status’s since early february. That should be around 2/2-20. These are the admit- people. </p>

<p>According to the theory, the NEXT NEXT wave of people are the one’s that had their status’s updated recently this month to “being reviewed”. These are the deny+ group and I don’t know how to break that down, but it’s according to the theory. </p>

<p>So again here it is:
1st wave: scholarships
2nd wave: accept+
3rd wave: accept- (THE NEXT ONE TO COME SOMETIME THIS WEEK)</p>

<p>up to here I’m not sure what’s gunna go down…so here’s a possible scheme</p>

<p>4rth wave: those accepted in deny+<br>
5th wave: last bit of acceptances
6th wave: deny-…or rejections</p>

<p>man i hope you’re right pinkellow. i’ve been in “being reviewed” since 2/6</p>
