USC class of 2023 Applicants Thread

Sorry if this has been asked before, but why does any university put so many resources into financial aid information before acceptance decisions are made. It seems a huge waist of time and money, especially when half those applicants will never go there (like USC)?

@abq2019 Iā€™m not sure I understand your question but the notification everyone on this thread is waiting for are acceptances accompanied with merit-based scholarship offers, not financial aid.

mailman has yet to arrive here in the beach cities. Fingers crossed.

@Matt10121 "ā€œYes, we mail them out but also make them available online. Weā€™ll email you when we release the decisions.ā€ do you understand what they meant? seems contradictory. So the packages are actually mailed out already?

@Matt10121 oh, they meant that they will mail out and update the site, right?

Can someone explain to me which portal I should be checking? Is it the one linked to the confirmation email I got when I applied (that has the check-marks next to my application materials)? I tried to register for the ā€œyouSCā€ portal thing but that takes me to a ā€œpre-applicantā€ page with the only options being to sign up for a tour or join the mailing listā€¦

One student in Reddit said his friend got the box like 6 minutes ago.

I have this signed up already, so every morning around 9am they email me the pictures of the mails they would deliver in the afternoon. The packages will be listed separately without a picture. I donā€™t know which category the white package will go, but It should be easily figured out by senderā€™s city or zip code.

ive been hearing people on reddit saying their friends have recieved packages, i cant confirm if its true or not but just putting it out there

Are you able to provide the link to the Reddit thread you are talking about? I canā€™t seem to find it.

I wanted to post the link but this thread wont let me because i think its not allowed, just look under u/paradisepeiir recent post as well as u/kiakhazani1

I tried to post the link, but CC doesnā€™t allow

Regarding USPS Informed Delivery, I can see a scan of the letter-sized (letter mail pieces) we will be receiving each day. The packages donā€™t have a picture, but they will say ā€œAmazonā€, etc, with an address. Iā€™m wondering since the White Box is a Box and NOT a letter mail piece or even letter-sized if it will even show up in Informed Delivery. If anyone in SoCal has Informed Delivery and gets the White Box, can you please look so all of us can rest at peace? Thank you!

just go to reddit, and search for USC, remember to sort base on the date.

Hmmm - seems dubious.

@sumguy
Yeah - removing the spaces works.
Thanks
