<p>Just an update-- someone was asking about whether or not having the "we've recieved everything we've requested...we will contact you by april 1st" was a bad sign. In one of the SCA threads, an applicant who had that status just got "the" update on friday. Anyway, I think all we're doing now is waiting to get a change in the date, the oasis link, or the "being reviewed" message. We're getting pretty close now! No updates today?</p>
<p>What does 3/14 update mean? Does it mean acceptance/rejection or something?</p>
<p>Mine says updated 3/14</p>
<p>so, the oasis link is for those who have been accepted?</p>
<p>the general consensus is that any update in date is probably a good thing right now. Basically it means that there is something going on with your application-- which is good, because you want something to happen before the end of the month, when rejections will be sent. Anyway, its probably a good thing. People will probably be getting updates every day for the next two weeks. If you don't, you probably will receive a rejection in early April....</p>
<p>i didn't apply for fin aid, so there's no oasis link but i have an date of 3/14 and i've had adcom review since early feb. should i be concerned about the lack of oasis link?</p>
<p>so, is it most likely positive that i have recently (last week) received two letters from usc about financial aid (asking me to complete it) and a status update (3/6)?</p>
<p>illburndebate- I don't think you should be that concerned. I mean, no one should really be THAT concerned about the updates-- in reality we all basically have to muscle through the next 2 weeks hoping for the best. But, the more activity on your application before the end of March, the better.</p>
<p>candy45- Couldn't really say. It would seem that updates on and more recent than 3/10 have proven to have some sort of correlation with acceptance. But theres also some people who have recieved their acceptances and then gotten the change a day or so later. Its interesting because it seems like USC's system is trying to predict when we are going to physically receive the admission packet-- and update the online portion at the same time. Why can't they just tell you online? haha.</p>
<p>A change in date in status update seems to be significant. However, I'm pretty sure everyone who applied for financial aid received those two letters.</p>
<p>anyone know when the next wave will be?</p>
<p>Status last updated: 03/14/2009</p>
<p>this changed today from 1/07/2009</p>
<p>still can't log into the "oasis" link</p>
<p>Tomorrow: Monday: 3/16/09</p>

<p>i thought all applicants can access the oasis link. just register and they'll send you a confirmation email.
the one for admitted student is the exploreusc link</p>
<p>this is the one i'm not getting into. my understanding is that once you're able to log into this, you've probably been accepted; is this right?

thanks</p>
<p>yeah. [at least thats what people are saying] </p>
<p>thats the exploreusc link </p>
<p>i cant get into it either :( GRRR</p>
<p>They better send them out tomorrow. I'm sick and tired of waiting.</p>
<p>I agree with you there ShaneUSC... however I can't see you how you could possibly not get in... you've been on these forums tirelessly for the past couple months so that dedication to the school must have shown in your application! Good luck this coming week everyone--- this is going to be a big one.</p>
<p>I received the 3/14 update and the "missing items" link which I assume is the oasis link people are talking about. But the ExploreUSC site won't let me make a reservation, does this mean that I haven't been accepted?</p>
<p>the recent update and the Oasis link are both very positive signs. However, the exploreUSC link should become active when they have registered you as an officially accepted applicant. So there is no sure thing, but there is a good chance because of the update and the link that you may be getting something in the mail soon. I could be wrong though. Good luck!</p>
<p>ugh mine is at 1/10/09.. which is scary since.. then nothing happened since i turned it in? even though ive turned in the midyear reports? =(
and someone said.. end of the month is when all the rejections go out?? is that true??</p>
<p>Sourire02- Don't be worried just yet, lots of people didn't get updates for ages until theirs changed just recently. There will be plenty of updates to go around this coming week. Mines still stuck at 1/31. And yes, acceptances are primarily sent tomorrow and the following monday...with rejections being sent out on and after April 1st.</p>
