@blueskies2day Some people are a bit busy and its much quicker just to post a question then sift through pages
So were are supposed to wait for the portals to change to sign up for the interviews?
Accepted from Seattle, Washington!
@CADREAMIN Portal is available for me right now… no info on Dean’s scholarship there. I hope I get it! I may call the office of admissions tomorrow to clarify what’s my situation
If theres no change would you say that probably means no? Did people last year see change periodically throughout the week?
@aaronesmailian, wait, what changed about your portal? I haven’t gotten anything in the mail yet, and mine has not changed! Can I conclude that I am not a Merit Scholar Finalist?
Thanks @aaronesmailian, don’t worry that nothing is there yet, the information on Dean’s has followed a week later via mail. Not sure when Dean’s info updates on the portal (sorry if I misled you on previous post on that). Not sure why that is handled separately, I guess cause there is no interview. Be happy you are in for now and know you will get more info soon (It’s only January so you have acceptance info sooo early - wooohoooo!)
What does typically update quickly (in next 24-48 hours) is the portal is the Explore USC dates for interview sign ups, and the notice for people that do not receive a scholarship. A message is put into your you.usc account if you did not receive a scholarship. There will still be packages arriving today (Tuesday) but hoping they update portals today too.
Please give these USC admissions people a chance to get things updated, they are not a staff of hundreds, just a few office folks!
Can someone confirm when the Explore USC or the no scholarship letter appears in their portal? Thanks.
I didnt get a no scholarship letter, it is just the sane. Maybe evrything hasnt updated yet
Ya I think he just meant he had access to his portal and nothing had changed.
no portal change, no email, no mail yet
Daughters portal is updated. Sign up link for interview posted and presidential scholarship amount posted.
Are portals updated in waves? Or all the acceptances just out in one batch and everyone else is a no?
If I don’t get the scholarship, will I still be notified that I will no longer be considered for the scholarship?
I read someone saying that is the case, but can someone confirm this please?
@bboyinmartin, yes, you will be notified through mail and your portal that you will not be considered for the merit scholarships offered but still be evaluated for admissions!
@sbmom13 did your daughter receive interview notification for full tuition or half?
So do they let you know of your decision only by mail or is there something shown on YouSC???
Someones portal has been uodated, so I assume many have also. You can check there for a quick notice @lagroy
I’m an international student and I submitted my common application on Nov. 25. However, it was Dec. 03 did I realize I forget to send USC my financial document, so I submitted it through YouSC immediately. Will I still be considered for merit-based scholarship and receive status notification recently?
Also, have all of those who applied before Dec. 1 received their application status notification? Or does USC update their status on YouSC at different time?
OMG i’m an international student and I just noticed that I didn’t fill out the exact home address in my common app. Would it be possible for me to receive the scholarship result through YouSC portal? If I can’t see any changes in my portal til now, does that mean that I’m not qualified for the scholarship? And is there anyone who applied for Wbb and accepted this week for scholarship? I have seen no one in College Confidential who got accepted to Marshall Wbb program class of 2020 
I’m an international student too and acc took the time to read the thread so I can answer some questions. Your portal will eventually be updated so I guess if they send your package to the wrong address you’ll just have to wait a few more days to find out. @motivatoree I emailed my admissions counsellor (for the UK) about this a while ago because I am unable to submit the financial document until after an offer because I would require a loan to attend and he said they can give you an offer even without a financial statement (but obviously require you to fill it out before attending). So the fact that you submitted it a few days late will 100% be no issue, the only things USC really needs for the December 1st deadline is your commonapp and writing supplement
