I live in an apartment complex so tbh there’s a chance that the mail came but there was nothing for me and I just missed it. Can’t exactly wait by the mailbox. Man I don’t wanna wait until 3:30 AM EST (sorry guys just venting)

Accepted to Marshall, box came yesterday and I live in SoCal.

Stats-
34 ACT
4.11 W 3.8 UW
Strong EC’s - debate, 2 varsity sports, started volunteer program for children with special needs
Strong essays (probably the best part of my app, that or ACT)
1 LOR from AP Chem teacher
White male, high income family

One thing - have classmates who live nearby with VERY strong stats and EC’s who did not get an acceptance or rejection yesterday, we’ll see about today…

I will respond if/when friends get notified

I feel this so much!!!

has anyone here been accepted to the Thornton School of Music? I live in a 2 day zone and did not receive a box from USC, but I have yet to here of someone getting accepted for music in which I applied

Accepted!!! OMG SO EXCITED I can’t even breathe!!! I have gotten rejections from other schools; I am so happy I got into USC! Love love love it!!!

Side note/question: For those of you that got the package, did it mention anything about your FA? If not, should we expect it in the upcoming days?

Anyone in WA state get anything?

I just got rejected. Good luck for the others waiting!

I’m a Legacy, 34 ACT, near perfect GPA (4.7 Weighted), all kinds of EC including 4 years on the football team, but got rejected. Funny thing is almost all of the top students (including several co-valedictorians) at my school got rejected (and they had amazing scores and EC) while others with much lower scores got in. Oh Well … I guess that’s life. @MrRobot5x5

You got a letter???

Have people been getting physical rejection letters in the two day zone?

I applied for Thornton School of Music but I am an international student and live in the middle of nowhere, so I have not received my package. I’m super stressed out. I understand the classical voice and opera department (my major) only accepts about 6-10 undergrads a year!!

How do you know if you’re rejected?

good luck…I applied for popular music and got nothing in the mail today :frowning:

No box FLA

Has anyone received a physical regection letter?

I live in Tucson, Arizona and checked my mail today but didn’t get anything. I know I live fairly far away, but if I didnt get a package today do ya’ll think I got rejected? Sorry if this was asked earlier lol

Do people with spring admit get priority mail?
