Hey guys
I submitted my usc application a couple weeks ago and im noticing that the applicant portal does not say something like “your application is complete” like many other schools will do. I called them to make sure it was all good and they said that in a couple days it would say that it was complete and I’d get an email to log in to youSC. That was two weeks ago and no email. My commonapp, supplement, and test scores say “recieved” but the whole portal does not say my application is complete. Anyone else in the same situation, or has gotten a completion notification and youSC login?
While some things certainly do take a couple weeks to update, if you have any questions re your application, do not hesitate to contact USC admissions via phone. That is what they are there for (and get paid for). They also log every call so if anything is awry later, they would have a record that you called to check on it. I know students hesitate to reach out, thinking they will get a “mark” for calling, but seriously, you won’t - it’s good to take responsiblity for your application.
yeah I hear you - considering I’ve reached out to them over the phone once already, my admissions counselor (because it didn’t show the letter of rec recieved), and thornton (major-specific) because i didn’t get a confirmation for recieval of my portfolio, im worried that calling them again will look bad lol. But I’ll give it a few days and if no notifcation i’ll take your advice
