hey, USC’ers! here is friendly ol’ me telling you that if you are rejected, it is probably for the best. try your darndest not to dwell on it. i applied last year (i took a gap year!), and even though i was completely and utterly obliterated by my fat rejection, it was a smart decision on the administration’s part because it helped me come to the realization that big universities aren’t for me. everything happens for a reason, and everything will work out in the end. i promise. until then, good luck! 
So will we get our admission decision through the mail? Or will they update it through email or portal as well? I am an international student, so even if they send out physical mails, I will have to wait for some time.
@ttg1125 I wish! But honestly I don’t think it is any kind of indication of the actual decision.
@StressedSeniorInt They update the portal on March 25 by noon
@ucpleaseaccept thx!
I don’t think I’ll get in based on my stats but hopefully something else on my application will pull through for me 
@iloveavocados oh my gosh same I would cry haha
@StressedSeniorInt They should be updating the portal after midnight PST on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Go a page back and read post #2026 for more details.
When I was driving my son home from his orchestra rehearsal tonight at 8:45, I saw a truck in front of ours had a USC sticker on the back window. The truck had a California license plate. Call me superstitious but I believe it was a good sign!
@pdxtigermom oooh definitely could be:) good luck!!
Did any of you (or your kid as the case may be) receive something from USC last year about skipping senior year and starting USC early?
@amominaz woah what no…that’s probably a realllllly good sign for you!! haha
@amominaz yes, my son received a letter inviting him to apply to their RHP (Resident Honors Program) as a high school junior. If accepted, then he’d skip his senior year and start college this fall at USC.
They posted a picture on insta of packages ready to mail. Are they going out tomorrow?
That’s what it was @pdxtigermom. I wasn’t interested in losing her a year early so I didn’t pursue it, but it seemed a little odd to me.
I also applied early through RHP
@amominaz It’s a fairly small program but it would be a good opportunity to “practice” college applications. If accepted, then it would save us a lot of trouble next year.
@living61 I just saw the picture on instagram too. Sure looks like the yellow packages went out today!
Were only the yellow packages sent out? I can’t really tell from the instagram picture.
Those are the DHL bags on the Instagram photo - just google their image.The send DHL ahead of the others since they are going international and have a way to go. Some internationals report them on first couple days, so they have to go out ahead of others for that to happen.
