<p>^ I checked last year’s tweet, and sure enough they said late January for all applicants to receive an update. I think this all points to decisions being released next Wednesday, since they’re usually released on Wednesdays from what I’ve gathered on the thread. Last year, releasing them on a Wed resulted in almost everyone finding out by Saturday, Jan 26. Next week, Wed falls on the 29th and the following Saturday is Feb 1, which might be why they said Early Feb, as opposed to the late Jan announcement last year.</p>
<p>Just my two cents. Not sure if I was able to convey what I’m thinking in a coherent argument, but there you go haha</p>
<p>Maybe this indicates when we will be receiving the news?</p>
<p>"HOUSING INFORMATION UPDATE</p>
<p>In an effort to prepare our website for the University Housing Renewal process which began January 21st and the application period for newly admitted students beginning February 3rd, we have been updating our website with information for 2014-2015 school year. Rents now appearing in the building descriptions are for next year."</p>
<p>Also, they jacked up the prices of housing by ~$200 all around.</p>
<p>Well, xctfrunner, that’s a very cool bit of sleuthing. USC’s Housing application is available to new admits (sometimes there can be a delay of a day or two) so that seems to point towards packets going out next week. Then again, it’s very hard to predict. Packets have been mailed in recent years on Fridays too. That’s my guess.</p>
<p>How do we even know of we’re being considered for scholarships / What does everyone’s USConnect status say? I applied on Dec.1 but my SAT scores arrived a week late, so I’m not sure whether or not they even glanced at my application. The admissions officers didn’t give me a direct answer either :(</p>
<p>Xyoria, all applications that are in by Dec 1 are considered for scholarship. All applicants self-report score and grades, so they review those and confirm them with the official scores/reports. Good luck! Georgia Girl reported on another thread that the scholarship invitations were mailed today. (And yes–I did guess a Friday mailing!) SoCal applicants may hear as early as tomorrow.</p>
<p>If I applied to Marshall but don’t get in, is it true that I’m also considered for undecided dornsife, even if I didn’t mark that on my application?</p>
<p>Where is everyone looking at their USConnect stuff? Application Status Check?</p>
<p>Mine goes over the basics of checking the page and says “We have received your Common Application and USC Supplement, and it appears we require no additional information at this time,” and has said that since I applied. No messages. Anyone else’s different?</p>
<p>I apologize if this has been answered but did we conclude that only applicants that are eligible for scholarship will get a snail mail packet and the rest of the applicants will receive an email?</p>
<p>Did anybody notice a change in the application status check on the portal? It now says “The committee has acted on your application, and we have mailed notice of the decision. If for some reason you do not receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results of this online through USConnect March 29th at noon Pacific Time”</p>
<p>mramadan, I don’t want to start a frenzy, but in the past seeing, “The committee has acted on your application and we have mailed notice of the decision” has been very, very good news. </p>
<p>Question for mramadan: Does “Explore” shows under your “Events” tab?</p>
<p>P.S. Does anyone else think this was the MOST inopportune time for college confidential to completely revamp its website??? GOLLY! Hard to navigate, keeps going offline, keeps logging me out… Argh.</p>
<p>Alamemom - thanks for your kind words yesterday, as we head up to USC today for her vocal arts audition! And YES, this is a terrible time for this change - I’m struggling with it so far. Did it need fixed? I thought it worked great before.</p>
