<p>I have a question I sent my application on December tenth for that deadline and my status hasn't been updated since january first and it still says this</p>
<p>We have completed a preliminary review of your application. We sometimes request additional information (senior-year grades, for example), so be sure to watch the mail. You may submit senior year grades at <a href="http://www.usc.edu/MDYResponse%5B/url%5D">www.usc.edu/MDYResponse</a>, even if we did not specifically request them. We are continuing to review applications and expect to mail notification of a decision by April 1st.</p>
<p>Knock-on-wood. I posted yesterday that USC probably mailed me a request for mid-year grades. Low and behold, I get the request via snail mail today.</p>
<p>Should I update USC with new class ranks? Good luck all!</p>
<p>Forgottenhawk:
status for my D changed from "reviewing" (1/25) to "acted on" (1/26)...in one day!
I guess it's different for everyone as per Columbia's post above, so nothing can be predicted. Also, the paper which mentioned acceptance into the major included with acceptance letter was dated 1/23.</p>
<p>Forgottenhawk:
status for my S has been "reviewing your app" since 1/19; status update yesterday only changed the date and time, not the message. Sounds like a lot of other people are getting decisions made quickly, status changing from reviewing to decision made in a matter of days......
still wishing good luck to all on this site who haven't heard yet.
And believe me, as difficult as this waiting is, I would not want to be in those admissions committee app reviews for anything in the world....!</p>
<p>My status still hasn't changed since 12/21/2007 :</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>I keep thinking it's because they aren't interested and must have put it in a "reject" pile. It really has been too long....worried</p>
<p>^ i mean thats the worst case scenario, more likely is that you just got accepted and their too busy dealing with scholarship notifications and such to get that out. keep your hopes up its not april yet.</p>
<p>I had this status: "We have received and are currently reviewing your application. We recommend you check here occasionally for an update on the status of your application." before I had "We have completed a preliminary review of your application...." which I'm still in, since 12/17/2007 2:56:01 PM.</p>
<p>svg1990, that's the order the statuses go in. After the prelim one is the "We are currently reviewing...,etc" one. It's similar but different from the first one.</p>
<p>svg, it seems that many of the applicants from NJ have had the same "we have completed preliminary review" status since mid-december. people from NJ and PA have the same admissions rep -- but you have a different one -- so never mind. good luck!!!</p>
<p>My status had been stuck at completed preliminary review since 12/30 and finally yesterday it switched to:</p>
<p>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>After checking today, my status switched back for some reason to: </p>
<p>We have completed a preliminary review of your application. We sometimes request additional information (senior-year grades, for example), so be sure to watch the mail. You may submit senior year grades at <a href="http://www.usc.edu/MDYResponse%5B/url%5D">www.usc.edu/MDYResponse</a>, even if we did not specifically request them. We are continuing to review applications and expect to mail notification of a decision by April 1st.</p>
<p>Anyone know why this would happen? I'm really confused as to why it would undo that update...</p>
