@thstud517 I’ve gotten decisions from a couple of other schools a good bit before the time they planned.
FROM WEBSITE:
A Note from Katharine Harrington, Vice President of Admissions and Planning, and Timothy Brunold, Dean of Admission
This year’s applicants to USC were the best in university history: You have the highest test scores, highest grade point averages, and you are extremely well-rounded in your extracurricular pursuits. You are a stellar group of applicants.
As we prepare to release this year’s admission decisions, we want to unequivocally reiterate our faith and trust in the integrity of USC’s application review processes. Only a tiny handful of the applications we received were tainted by the alleged admissions scheme, which involved fraudulent applications submitted for the sole purpose of cheating USC’s rigorous admissions system. You can read more here.
We are building an accomplished, diverse, and eclectic class. This leads to a difficult reality: The size of our entering class limits the number of admission spaces we can offer.
Thank you to all of you who have applied to the university and entrusted us with this next step of your educational journey
No box, no update, just stress. LOL this is too much.
Despite not receiving the box, I just want to wait it out until my portal comes out. There can always be conflict that arise with the box not coming today
I’m from the bay area, no box or update
…“constantly refreshing this thread” gang, sound off
