<p>I too had a status change to "being reviewed by admissions" on 2/17- applied on 11/25/08 and also received the "no scholarship Letter"- I am hoping for early March so I could finally go see USC, as I am a Jersey Girl-</p>
<p>Yeah, it would be nice to hear back from them soon, but I always hope for the best but expect the worst.</p>
<p>mine has been in the "being reviewed by the admissions committee" for about a week and a half but still hasn't updated it's status date since 1/05 for prelim review...wierd but prob doesn't mean anything.</p>
<p>i hope this whole wave thing is right and that we'll be hearing pretty soon</p>
<p>I lack faith in "being reviewed by the admissions committee" just because I've had it since the Jan 21st :/</p>
<p>bmwguy, my friend got the status update at the same time as you...and she still hasn't gotten anything</p>
<p>o.o</p>
<p>at least you guys are getting status changes.... mine hasn't changed since the 12/12/08!</p>
<p>beeish did your status change but your date just stay the same?</p>
<p>wait I'm interviewing for trustee on tuesday and i dont even have an oasis link!!!</p>
<p>Just checked my status again (Being Reviewed by the Admission Committee) and this time, the date changed to 2/20/09. Did anyone else get a date change?</p>
<p>no mine is still from december... maybe they just changed a bunch of statuses to initiate the next block of applications they're going through. and then they change the date when they actually review it...? just a theory.</p>
<p>I want my rejection already!!! can't wait:(</p>
<p>that is not very optimistic! what are your stats?</p>
<p>nah, mine still says 1/05/09. does anybody know the link to last years status thread. i'd just be interested to read some of it.</p>
<p>I agree with Greeneyes...I think they group the apps, put up "in review" and then when a decision is made, change the date. (I'm in review as of 2/17 but with date of 1/6.)</p>
<p>beeish mine hasn't been updated since nov!</p>
<p>hmmm... I doubt they change the date when a decision is made. I think we are all reading into the statuses too much haha... I think that maybe the dates not changing with the actual status update is just sort of a glitch/error.... and clearly its not their number one priority to fix the glitch (nor should it be)... anyway, with or without an actual date change we still know (at least the majority of us do) that our applications are now in review. even if it were true that a date change meant they made a decision, none of us are going to be hearing from USC until the next (supposed) wave in 2 weeks... it is making me rather nervous though!</p>
<p>so the next wave is in two weeeks???</p>
<p>Yeah, I really don't think status change means anything more than what is stated. I think we all need to relax....</p>
<p>judging by the acceptance waves last year, yes there should be another wave in roughly 2 weeks</p>
<p>Well I feel pathetic writing this but I believe some of us will hear in 10 days (rather than two weeks) or so based on last years "next wave"....which looks like it was around March 3rd ish-</p>
<p>At least I can hope!</p>
