<p>i wouldn't worry about what it says for the status. mine says:
"Your application is being reviewed by the admission committee. "</p>
<p>but i just got my acceptance letter in the mail today (i applied early)</p>
<p>hotshot did you get the new link today that connected to the oasis profile or something? apparently this is the most updated thing on the status page, but i havent gotten it....</p>
<p>Did anyone get an acceptance while their status was still @ completed prelim review?</p>
<p>My status says it was updated 1/24 and I do have the link to Oasis. But don't they update pretty much every day - because last time i checked it said it was updated 1/21? So maybe the whole system just updates daily?</p>
<p>My status has said that my application was being reviewed by the adcom for a while now...</p>
<p>annyone have any idea what all this means?</p>
<p>From what I can deduce there was a change on 1/21 and one at around midnight on 1/24 that opened up the OASIS portal. They don't update daily or we would have noticed more changes in between. It looks like they sent out on the 23rd though so I can't explain why there would be an update on the 24th. Go figure but congrats to those who got in already and I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't received any changes on your status. USC is notorious for their waves of acceptance so this may just be the first batch... stay alert for more next week!</p>
<p>It's a shame transfers get notified SO late :(</p>
<p>I'm gonna guess that anyone with the 21st change is accepted, and the Oasis link will come when you receive the letter. When you receive the letter depends on your location.</p>
<p>Does anyone have information to go against this?</p>
<p>i seriously hope you're right bmwguy. i got the status change on the 21st but not the Oasis link. I am in norcal though, so I am just waiting until tomorrow or tuesday to see.</p>
<p>bmwguy: How would the Oasis link come up when you receive the letter? That doesn't make sense as everyone across the country will receive letters on different days. Are you guessing they update Oasis based on when they think you will receive your letter?? That seems odd...
But I do like your guess that everyone with the 21st change is accepted!</p>
<p>Did any transfers get an update?</p>
<p>baseballbrown: Yea, it's probably when they think you will receive the letter. The mail system is fairly predictable, so its a possibility. I believe the Oasis link indicates a definite acceptance, but USC wants your first notification to be the letter.</p>
<p>It's all speculation, but it's hard to resist. Especially when USC is your top choice school =D</p>
<p>My status is still says that they've only completed the preliminary review. :(</p>
<p>My status change was on the 22nd.
But that was just to Preliminary review completed.
I Seriously doubt I will get a scholarship.</p>
<p>People who were accepted already really need to start posting what their status page has been doing over the last couple days. That would help out with a lot of the confusion. :D</p>
<p>bmwguy: I have the 21st update, 24th link, but no letter, I'm in Florida though and probably won't be expecting a letter (if it was sent) until around the middle of next week. </p>
<p>I know people were getting letters in more than one wave last year, for example some got in around now and some got in early February (All were scholarship candidates and they had their "review" updates about a week apart). Maybe that could relate to Presidential/Trustee... I know they each have different sessions for Explore.</p>
<p>qzar...I'm in the same situation as you, except from NJ. Also, did your name come from a laser tag place in new jersey? Just wondering, I have a few QZar shirts from birthday parties like 10 years ago</p>
<p>Q-Zar is an awesome laser tag joint in Florida (I still go from time to time), and I think qzar mentioned that he was from Florida somewhere in this thread.</p>
<p>So.. did everyone who got the oasis link get accepted? Is that what we are al thinking?</p>
<p>I think that everyone now has the oasis link - that is what the 1/24 update was for</p>
<p>^^
Don't think so. S is still in "being reviewed" but doesn't have the link.
Does anyone have the link and still is "finished preliminary review" or other early notices?</p>
<p>I remember reading the threads last year that the randomness on status changes drove everyone crazy. Yet I'm buying into it....</p>
