Received my lovely rejection letter today. One less school to consider, but now questioning if I even have a chance of getting into Princeton and Stanford. The last two schools I’m waiting for decisions from.
@candylover132 no sorry it posted wrong, the one about people not even wanting to go but applying lol
Out of curiosity, has anyone who lives in FL received anything? Central is listed as a 2 day zone and informed is saying nothing…
Oh yeah that makes me mad but it is what it is, Like USC choose those ppl and if they decide not to go then its on them. @polololo
@polololo why does my comment make you mad?
The post lagged lol I’m taking about the people applying but not even wanting to go. @jj1999
@jj1999 - You can appeal but USC generally approves very few (maybe twenty).
Once USC determines yield, if it is below @37%, they will fill out the class by offering fall admission to some of the spring admits based on underpopulated majors. If yield rises above 37%, they will be overenrolled like last year and everything will stay pretty much as is; spring admits in spring and TTP. Some spring admits will still get a fall offer, again for underpopulated majors, but not as many if they hit their general yield numbers.
I don’t think they would exhaust the spring admits bumped to fall and offer fall admission to TTP’s.
White and priveliged = no college wants you
@valleybound not true!
I’d love to see the averages of Asian group and others. Including somehow quantifiable ECs and other fitness factors. But I very much doubt USC will release them.
@jj1999 Did you receive an acceptance from a school you ultimately will not be attending? There might be someone who got rejected complaining that they wasted an acceptance on you. Btw no acceptance to usc here either.
@mclmom if you find the link I would greatly appreciate it!
I was wondering how they distinguish between admitting someone as spring v. admitting someone undeclared?
@louiswww Purdue has an amazing engineering school. Ranked better than USC. Hold your head high.
Has anyone from San Jose received an acceptance or rejection?
From what I have seen at my daughter’s hs for the past 3 years…The valedictorians who have highest gpa and very high sat have all gotten in. Our senior class has almost 640 students. All of those top kids (top 1-1/2 percent (including my own) have gotten into UCLA, but only the Val. USC. Their ethnicities and income level were all over the map, including white, but they have all been heavily involved in the school, class presidents, leadership, sports, etc.
@jayparent, there is no doubt that there are a high number of highly qualified Asian students, especially in California, but also around the country, in terms of stats. Many of them may also have great ECs and leadership activities. Schools also have a prerogative to balance their student body so that it is diverse across many areas, including race, gender, geography, socioeconomic status, hardships, unique circumstances, essays, major, and many other factors. By the way, there are many students who are not Asian with near perfect or perfect stats who will not gain admission to USC or all colleges applied to. “Holistic” is not “racist”. It is the reality of this process, which can be frustrating to many students and families.
@valleybound that doesn’t mean anything. I wish I came from a two parent household and middle class family. I think that USC rejected you and you are making it into some race and social class play.
So im in the 2 day zone (norcal) and haven’t received anything in the mail. Should I expect the worst on my portal tomorrow morning?
