@QQQBoutique there is a spring admit thread with links to past spring admit threads to see what other people did or didn’t do and how they felt about it.
I just saw that I’m getting a “Postal Product: USPS Marketing Mail” with a tracking number. No idea as to sender as the status for the tracking number shows up as "Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on March 21, 2019 to expect your package for mailing. "
I know someone mentioned USPS Priority Mail is the postal product that will be used for this. I’m not expecting any delivery, so could this be my Son’s rejection letter then?
I like in Norcal.
Could be a magazine.
@CADREAMIN are you able to use your private messenger on here? Every time I keep trying to messenger you I cannot pull up your name? Thanks!
@WWWard your post 2199 is the most amazing thing I have ever read… you are absolutely true, and that what I always tell my kids… you create your success story… thank you sooo much for your wisdom
@Nonomom thanks… and you’re welcome
I’ve been stalking this thread for a while but I really wanted to thank @WWWard for the encouraging words. Got rejected from UCLA today, a school I was pretty sure I had more of a chance getting into than USC. I’m zoned for Day 2, so I’m still keeping my hopes up! But the message really did help cheer me up after a disappointing night, so thank you.
@Cattyy you’re welcome… and good luck
hmmmm, all these acceptances today and no one mentioned getting a Deans Scholarship, that’s very odd compared to year’s past. Maybe all coming out at once this year? Oh geez, please tell me they aren’t mailing them, one mailing is enough to deal with.
@CADREAMIN she definitely said mailed, and not emailed, but who knows. I am sure they are inundated with questions and paperwork, so I’ll give them grace. As long as DD has an answer by 3/28, she will have all the data she needs to make her decision.
Well that would be return to 2010, but who knows? lol. I am also certain admissions will tell three people three different things this time of year - to get them off the phone and just have fun with it, I think they get sooo many calls, I can’t blame them for being creative. We see it on here all the time. Well it could be a mailed letter with a portal update which they have to do since mail is unreliable. Just a matter of when. Was hoping we would still see it today, since we were told this by our insider in February (and they are always 100% right) but today is winding down!
They’re MAILING scholarship results now? My heart can’t take all this uncertainty - I wish they would be just a tad bit more straight-forward with us. I know its been a crazy few weeks for them, but still.
No no no, I don’t think that at all - it has been a portal update for years. It’s usually an email telling you to check your portal, so I am thinking they may have said mailed, but that really implied email.
@CADREAMIN I am sure they will update the portals. Maybe (hopefully) they are waiting for the boxes to get delivered, so those students can celebrate, without being overshadowed by scholarship news. Who knows. Lol.
Totally agree, they use to faithfully do it before the results came out, and I heard Friday or Monday was thrown out there recently as options by someone that called (but never know whether to believe a call, ha). So maybe like you said, they do it Monday and follow up quickly with FA too. Cause truth is, some kids get in but aren’t sure if they can attend till they know their scholarship and still aren’t sure they can attend till they know their FA too. Maybe the are scrunching it more together.
All speculation, but that’s all we got at this point. They don’t change things too often, but the timing of the scholarship notification is the one thing they changed this year for sure. The acceptances were as planned and forecasted months ago.
But surprised they are messing with the scholarship kids! Gonna keep fingers crossed it’s still super soon.
Thank you so much for posting this info. Much appreciated.
If we are selected for the Presidential Scholarship for being a National Merit Finalist and picking USC as our first choice, when and where would we find that out? Would that be in the white box or on the portal?
oops sorry out of time to edit!
If you get 1/2 because you are an NMF, that won’t show up on either because they aren’t processed until after May 1 and you will get a notification then. If you get Presidential because you got it in January, we are waiting for those portal updates anytime.
Well, we are waiting to hear and we are in Canada. Getting mail from the U.S. can take up to two weeks and you cannot track anything outside the U.S.
I hope the portal doesn’t crash with everyone having to check it at the same time.
