<p>bmwguy and all others...."decision by April 1" does not mean that you'll get the decision in April. Acceptances will be mailed in waves up to about end March/April...then offers of spring 2010 admission, and rejections last, usually 2nd or so week in April.</p>
<p>Sequoia...do you remember if the the rejected's/spring admits just stayed in "prelim review" until April?</p>
<p>nbg127....USC looks at ALL applications. Prelim review is the stage where they determine that all the materials are complete. Everyone gets a "being reviewed". However, last year as time went on, the status notifications weren't always updated. Don't worry too much about the statuses, they have 36000 applications to go through, but be assured that they carefully assess each and every one of them.</p>
<p>well i applied into marshall and i got the status change. from the looks of who is replying here, maybe its marshall applicants that received the status change?</p>
<p>Looks like it... </p>
<p>My first choice was Policy, Planning and Development (PPD) and my second choice was Marshall Biz Admin. I doubt anyone applied to PPD since I doubt many know about it.</p>
<p>did you get the change?</p>
<p>Thanks Sequoia...that answered my question very clearly.</p>
<p>No I didn't get a change.</p>
<p>I applied to Marshall and didn't get a change. Prelim review as of 12/9...</p>
<p>If you guys really want to know your application status, I'm sure you can just email the person who reads your application.. At least at my school, the lady who reads my apps was the person who gave us a presentation at school.. I'm sure you can go to your school's guidance office and get the contact email.</p>
<p>"We have received and are currently reviewing your application. We recommend you check here occasionally for an update on the status of your application."</p>
<p>My status has been this way since Dec. 16th.</p>
<p>I am getting pretty anxious.
My stats are not great but I had an interview and I have an excellent essay.
Hopefully my displayed interest for USC will help me get in.
:/</p>
<p>Ummm I have a question. I thought that USC didn't send out results until April 1st but it seems like I am mistaken. Do they send out a lot of decisions much earlier? I.E now? It seems as if people are expecting a decision fairly shortly. Just curious as to when they send out the first decisions. Thanks</p>
<p>schindlr... well usc should be sending out some decisions within the next two weeks, but the only people who are notified this early are typically the ones who are considered for any of the big scholarships (trustee,presidential). there are not many people who find out this early... most will be notified in march!</p>
<p>or february</p>
<p>omg omg omg</p>

<p>:( that was fast, im a transfer too lol - applied 2 weeks ago if that ..</p>
<p>I got the status change too! I'm really hoping to be considered for a scholaship, so this is hopefully good news. We'll see in the next couple weeks... good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I'm a transfer too and my status has been the same as Zircushio since Jan 7. I wish they would send out decisions already!</p>
<p>Timoshii i hope so too! what is your major?</p>
<p>Do you guys think that status means anything?</p>
<p>It basically means how close you are to receiving a decision. So yes, it does mean something.</p>
