***USC Class of 2021 Discussion/Results Thread***

I live in DC and I received the white box today. I was completely shocked. Best of luck to all you guys!

Just got my package here in Hampton Roads, VA… spring admission :slight_smile: not bad I suppose. Disappointed for sure, but so so grateful that, for whatever reason, they thought I was good enough to not outright reject. I’m not sure if I’ll go through with it, need to talk to my guidance counselor… but, yeah! Thank all of you so much for helping me get through this process. Good luck to those of you still waiting, congratulations to those of you accepted, and for those of you who were/will be rejected, just know that your happiness truly does depend not on the college you attend, but what you make of your college experience. https://cathincollege.com/2016/03/10/awaiting-your-college-acceptance-rejection-letter/

For anyone who’s curious, here are some stats and such:

Major: Anthropology

Has anyone in New Orleans received anything? Last year USC accepted 11 out of 22 applicants from my school and this year they have accepted 0 out of 30 applicants if no mail = rejection. This has to be a mistake… Unless someone in Louisiana has received a white box, I’ll wait until tonight at 12 AM PST as the odds of every applicant being rejected from my school is VERY low statistically (multiple 35 ACT, 3.9+ GPA students)

@rawk123 We r from NJ and got nothing today. But a friend that lives half hour away did get her package today. Crawling under rock til 3am EST

@Chips99 Congrats! So happy for you. Spring admission is still IN and that’s what counts.

@Emsmom1 Thanks so much!!! :slight_smile:

Has anyone from NYC heard back yet?

@CADREAMIN Congratulations! Yes, we parents are all in this process, too. It takes a village. I truly don’t know how kids who don’t have parents to help them get through it manage at all. Happy for you and your daughter!

@OrthodoxParadox I’m from Baton Rouge and I got nothing in the mail. Hopefully a mistake…

Did you JUST get it?

i probably have the lowest act score here why do i still have hope asdfghjkl

I guess they mailed the decision to my address in China…
today’s mail just came and nothing from USC…(I am in OC…)

Does the portal update right at midnight LA time? Or throughout the day or what?

S got accepted here in south FL. He applied for engineering and accepted undeclared. I guess we need to call to see how hard to transfer in. He can opt out of almost all first year engineering classes with 5’s on AP exams. So we are happy but confused.

People are saying the portal is updated already…I’m not home and my wants to check it without me :((

I just checked the portal. Nothing there for my nephew yet.

<:-P <:-P <:-P =D> @CADREAMIN so happy for your daughter! Also happy for you @Chips99! As for the spring admit it can be a pretty neat experience because i believe you get to do your first semester in fall overseas then start USC in spring.
Sending out best wishes for those who did not get in and that you will go on to enjoy your college experience and do great things!

@Chips99 congrats!!!

And yes the portal is not supposed to update until midnight PST. If you see nothing yet that is how it’s supposed to be. It’s not yet 3pm here in California.

Had such a dirty trick played on me yesterday… I got a call in the middle of physics class from Los Angeles (which is weird because I’m in PA) and I assumed it was USC. Sat there for an hour trying to pay attention in class, then I rushed to the bathroom to call the number back… it was a telemarketer. I got zero mail today so I have no idea if I’m in or not, but the world can be especially cruel sometimes.

@chips99 congrats!!! I had the same feeling for you as filmstudent2! It’s an interesting option - you sacrifice that freshman fall, but do graduate from USC. It is a tough decision - follow your heart!
