@AlexXXi Did you get the package?
is it a BOX for those accepted and a LETTER for those denied? does anyone know
I am at school so I don’t know. I live an hour away from SC. So only one person here got his package?
did someone find a photo or text of the rejection
@rlop123 yes that’s right
Box for acceptance and regular letter for rejection.
Someone asked about the rejections letters. Did a little searching and here is a little blast from the past. This is the rejection letter from 2008. For 2016, the letter is EXACTLY THE SAME except the numbers paragraph in the middle which updates the figures to 54,000 applications and 2,800 freshman, 17% acceptance rate and 97th percentile. Will be curious what they put there for this year.
Dear xxxx,
We have arrived at the end of our application review period, and I am sorry to say that we are unable to offer you a space in this year’s entering class.
You should be proud of your accomplishments, and we encourage you to press on in your pursuit of higher education. Our decision by no means a statement about your ability to succeed in college, nor it is any kind of judgment of you as a person. Admission was significantly more competitive this year. We were unable to accommodate thousands of very strong candidates including students with excellent academic records, remarkable talents, fascinating experiences and illuminating perspectives. It may or may not comfort you to know that this has been and extraordinarily difficult year for our staff. None of us enjoys turning away capable students.
Numbers don’t tell the whole story, but you may find them helpful. We received over 36,000 applications from students around the world. In order to enroll a class of 2,600 freshmen, we offered admission to roughly 7,600 students. In other words, we had to turn away about 80% of the students who wanted to enroll here. Of those offered admission, most achieved nearly straight A averages and SAT scores at or above the 95th percentile.
In addition to grades and test scores, we considered many other factors presented in your application materials. Ours is a qualitative process, in which opinions are weighed with facts. Your application was carefully, respectfully, and thoughtfully reviewed multiple times, by many individuals.
Please review the enclosed information sheet for further details about the review process, and for some ideas about the next steps you might want to consider if you wish to attend USC in the future.
Thank you for considering USC. We all wish you the best in your college plans.
@Fighton117 you’re a dork
I live 2 miles from USC and I’m really nervous. I live in an apartment building that the guards filter our mail and sometimes it takes them TWELVE HOURS to send notifications to residents that a package has arrived…
@Fighton117 wait but are you serious?? pls dont joke
@Fighton117 great first post.
It was a first post people, you are getting played.
Question, I looked on the USPS priority mail delivery time thingy and it said that I was in the 2-day range for receiving packages(I live in Georgia) does this sound correct?
So no one here actually has received acceptance package?
my mail just came. didn’t get anything
Yes packages have already arrived in some parts of socal.
There are plenty of solid posts of people getting packages, just move on.
UPS truck just drove right by my house and I nearly died:(
USPS (the regular ole US Mail)… not UPS
I know ahah… i just heard it coming and was already on edge and looked and just associated it with mail and couldn’t even think in that moment
In Texas which is a 2 day zone. the wait is killing me.I am expecting a rejection but I am hoping I am wrong.I really want to go to USC. Good luck everyone.
