@lakergirl6232 - this mom of twin boys congratulations your boys!
USC has sent out all admission packages. Even if they are not received by tomorrow, the portals update tomorrow anyhow at 5pm pacific. If not admitted, you will likely first learn onlineā¦ but you will receive a rejection letter via regular mail eventually. That is all the notices that USC will provideā¦ unless you are admitted. If admitted, you will begin to receive many new emails and a FA package update too, if applied for. USC will quickly turn to starting to court those admitted. In turn, those admitted then get to decideā¦ and using last yearās #s, 59% of those admitted will ultimately turn down USC and enroll elsewhere.
@lakergirl6232 Wow! Congratsā¦ times two! That SCA admit itself is super-impressive. Only 1-2% get in to that program traditionally.
And you were so angsty and panicky earlier todayā¦ 
Now it turns to a new form of panic - can we afford two at USC simultaneously? lol
I looked at USPS informed delivery ā> looked at packages sectionā> one package was sent by āMERCURY MAILING SYSTEMSā in Los Angeles on March 21 ā> I called them and asked them if they currently work with USC -they said āyesā
Can anyone who received a USC acceptance box today check to see if their USPS Informed Delivery was mailed by MERCURY MAILING?
Thanks!
Good luck to everyone!
Unfortunately, I think for those in Pacific Northwest (we live in Portland, Oregon) you will not get your mailbox moment and will find out via portal unless you want to wait for the mail on Monday and not check the portal tomorrow ā if Iām using last year as a guide and the timing, which seems the same. Also, Informed Delivery did not work for us and did not show the box arriving at all.
Itās a bummer from what Iāve read that USC did not hype of this admission cycle as they have in the past, showing the trucks leaving, etc. I think they are laying low this year and donāt want to get made fun of on social medial with things like āthere goes a bunch of cheating admission letters going out,ā etc.
I lurk on here from time to time and last year read this site a lot for the class of 2022 ā I want to thank the experienced parents who post on here like @WWWard & @CADREAMIN for the time you devote and the advice you give, it is so appreciated and helpful! Your kindness and patience is what the Trojan spirit is about.
youāre welcome, @lawdork
Welp, tomorrow is the day Iāve been waiting for/dreading for the past 4 months. Good luck to everyone and thanks to @CADREAMIN and @WWWard for all the help and advice!
youāre welcome, @OllieAbott
If I sign up for USPS Informed Delivery now will it still give me the expected packages?
Goodluck to you all. My D graduated from USC and I must tell you it is worth the Hype!
@lakergirl6232 WOW! Congrats! I have a son who applied to. SCA fall 2019 (still waiting)! But I have another son who will be applying to Interactive Media & Games for Fall 2020 - any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
Will I receive it today if Iām in the two-zone area?
USPS delivery map says Seattle is Day 3 and that seems to have been the trend in years past, but how reliable is the map? Basically is there any chance that some boxes could trickle into Seattle tomorrow?
Iām assuming not, but I have to ask just so Iām not camped out at my mailbox until 5.
Good luck to everyone else waiting, less than 24 hours til we all know!
@liaaa today is day one and tomorrow is day two, good luck
@dayzees Informed delivery takes 3 business days to activate.
@lbf thanks u too!!!
Nothing in Manhattan Beach/Redondo Beach area. mail already came. Havenāt heard any of any acceptances from my friends or kids at my school which is weird bc my school is one of the biggest feeders into usc.
Wait so when are USC decisions going to be posted up on the portals?
5 PST tomorrow!
Iām like too scared to wait and check my mailbox tomorrow. I donāt know if I could handle checking to see I didnāt get a box before checking the portal. I feel like Iād rather know for sure in one shot
