<p>Aw man. My status is still at the "preliminary review" stage too. I'm getting antsy.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to call admissions tomorrow because my status page is STILL in the "we are currently reviewing your application" stage and has been since November 28th.</p>
<p>Do you think the status changes according to last names? Like they go down the alphabet and review applications?</p>
<p>I doubt that... my last name starts with 'L' and mines been done with the prelim review since mid-december.</p>
<p>i think it more has to do with who submits online, how early you submitted (mine was late november), and how fast you get all the supplemental forms in. Also, i remember my counselor saying if you stick your barcode uscid stickers on every form, it speeds up their process a lot more</p>
<p>Aw man, this is making me nervous -- I really want/need the scholarship =/
When do they invite you for the interviews for Trustee/President?</p>
<p>unclesam- Well my last name begins with "W" and mine's been on prelim since 12/27. I suppose there's a BIT of a difference. And I don't know about the barcode, but I remember calling USC towards the beginning of Dec. and they said they had all my stuff already. </p>
<p>Indian- Letters of notification are sent out towards the end of January. I don't know when the actual interviews are though.</p>
<p>I'm preliminary review since 12/3. I sent in my supplementary forms in early-November and my application in late-October. My last name starts with C so I don't know man!</p>
<p>So far the alphabetical reasoning seems to be some form of explanation. I just don't know what to make of it though.</p>
<p>My last name starts with an L also so I really don't know.</p>
<p>Oh wow...status changed today. Application now being reviewed.
It was on "preliminary review completed" from 12/03 until today.</p>
<p>Maybe the same will happen with others in the next days.</p>
<p>FINALLY. =]</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>Click here to submit mid-year grades online.</p>
<p>I'm even more anxious now lol</p>
<p>ehhhh i have the same message. i want to know now!</p>
<p>Chinaski- Did you actually call the admissions office and ask?</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>anyone else?</p>
<p>^ Yes, same here.
As I mentioned on last page, my D's status changed today.</p>
<p>Vienna, I asked my guidance office to call today around 9AM EST and the admissions office seemed to be closed, but the lady in my school's office said she'd call later in the day.</p>
<p>I got home and the status was changed so until I ask our guidance office if they called or not tomorrow, I am going to be unsure whether or not it was the call that did it.</p>
<p>Remember, 9am EST is 6am here in California. The admissions office probably doesn't open until about 9am here.</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant 12EST and 9PST.</p>
<p>My status has finally changed.</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>Oh! A DECISION has been made!! This status changed TODAY!!!</p>
<p>The committee has acted on your application, and we have mailed notice of the decision. If for some reason you do not receive our written notice, we will be happy to provide the results over the phone beginning April 11th.</p>
