USC Columbia 2nd Review/Deferred students 2023

Can anyone elaborate on why they would send out this email and ask students to establish an online account if they have not been accepted yet? I feel like it raises their hopes unnecessarily. This process is so hard to begin with and to add this level of stress seems a bit unfair.

Has anyone in 2nd review been accepted ? I heard a student from Columbia , SC received a YES packet today but do not know if he was in 2nd review or they are just starting a new wave from new applications??

I received my YES packet today after getting placed in secondary review! In PA.

My daughter received her YES packet today after placed in secondary review. Their site states today that new YES letters have been mailed.

@3collegekidz @stillwaiting2023 did the portal change from second review to welcome before you rec’d the packet?

Hi. Can you share what site? I’ve looked on their admissions site, Twitter and instagram and don’t see anything. Thanks for sharing!

Stillwaiting2023 what site did you see? Thanks!

no my portal hasn’t changed.

My friend got his yes packet today after being placed on 2nd review. I haven’t heard anything yet. We are in NC.

Yes packet today in NJ, no portal update, complete surprise. Darla Moore

So all the new YES’s were previously deferred? No one that applied RD?

We received our YES packet!! Just checked the mail!! Waiting on son to open it

Congrats ! Would those who were on 2nd review and admitted be willing to share scores?
