<p>Undergraduate Application (Part II, Fall 2009)
Your application is being reviewed by the admission committee. We will mail notification of their decision by April 1. If for some reason you don't receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results over the phone beginning April 11th.</p>
<p>Status last updated: 02/03/2009</p>
<p>I REALLY hope I get in!</p>
<p>Do they send acceptance letters first and then rejections?</p>
<p>jar: yes. rejections come in April.</p>
<p>I was in the same sitch, but I got to no no scholarship letter today, was expecting it though, mail takes a LOOOOONG ass time to get here.</p>
<p>I can only imagine, I was upset over how long mail took to get from California to Florida...</p>
<p>I received no letter as well. But, does absolutely everyone who doesn't win scholarships at this time get a "no scholarship" letter?</p>
<p>So if I don't get anything during March, does that mean I will get a rejection letter?</p>
<p>nah it means you have a higher chance at being rejected than being accepted</p>
<p>did anyone get a 2/10/09 update from "completed preliminary review" to "currently reviewed by admission committee?"</p>
<p>^^No, but I did just now get my financial aid booklet, postmarked 1/23. I got all excited for some reason then I read that it was addressed to my mom...</p>
<p>I got a 2/10 status update to being reviewed. Had been in prelim since 12/9</p>
<p>i got the financial aid booklet quite awhile ago </p>
<p>disasterpiece: so it looks like we're both stuck in prelim review</p>
<p>Count me in on the prelim. review. Where are you two located in the US? That might play into it.</p>
<p>lol i'm in NorCal</p>
<p>my friend got the 2/10/09 update to "in review by admission committee" lol</p>
<p>she's also in NorCal</p>
<p>So at school today a bunch of us were looking at our USC statuses. I applied to Marshall by the December 1 deadline and have been stuck in preliminary review since December 19. The two people next to me applied in January and they have the "being reviewed" status updated within February. Someone across from me had something about an initial review? Is that before or after prelim review? Is there any method to these application reviews??</p>
<p>Hmm I applied to Marshall by the December 1 deadline and I am still stuck in prelim review since 01/13. I think initial review is before prelim review.</p>
<p>Looks like there are quite a few of us who are stuck on prelim review ...</p>
<p>To Taxi, I'm in Florida, but I think that it's already been proven that geographical location has nothing to do with status.</p>
<p>God, mine is still under "prelim review."</p>
<p>Since 12/09...</p>
<p>at least there's one and a half months before rejections...</p>
<p>we still have some hope...sorta...</p>
<p>I wouldn't lose any hope... I don't think they've looked over half of the applications yet and I honestly don't see how they would reject me even though my SAT/GPA aren't high enough for scholarship consideration, I'm still legacy and lots of other EC's/Good essays... and I'm still on prelim view from 1/05 in NorCal..</p>
<p>I'm in Chicago, applied by 12/1 to Marshall, and am in prelim. review as well. I think NJL is right though, I don't think they've even gone through many applications besides that prelim. review.</p>
