<p>Well, I'll wait it out, maybe I'll get some pleasant news in the mail tomorrow since I'm in San Francisco. If I call, I suppose I'll call this Wednesday.</p>
<p>hmm.. thanks Sequoia.. weird tho its not there for me. ?!?</p>
<p>Shoot - I'm getting antsy about all this...USC's not particularly high up on my list, but if I can get good money I would definitely consider attending!</p>
<p>I really, really hope I get some news in the mail tomorrow - my stupid status page is stuck on:</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>Sorry guys, but im definitely freaking out. I'm still on the 'just finished the preliminary review' and that only came about as of three days ago. Is this at all a bad sign?</p>
<p>I am freaking out too NYUjosh my status has been on "completed preliminary review" for 11 days now! Ahh</p>

<p>so anxious now!!!</p>
<p>Here's a question that hasn't been asked yet...</p>
<p>How long does the secondary review generally last?: "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>Mine was "being reviewed" for about three days before my current status that the admissions committee has taken action.</p>
<p>^I'm in the same boat</p>
<p>So, uh, I was a National Merit Semifinalist who applied by scholarship deadline, and it still says "Just finished preliminary review", updated 7 pm yesterday, though its said that forever now. So should I be pretty sure I'm not getting anything in the mail at this point?</p>
<p>I have been prelim review since 1/3...and no news of being reviewed. What does this mean!?!?! </p>
<p>And one person who has gotten accepted stated their S's status page hadnt been updated for a while...so...</p>
<p>^My D's status was on prelim review since 12/3. Then it abruptly changed to "being reviewed", and to "acted on app" within 2 days (last Fri and Sat).
There's still plenty of time, so I wouldn't worry at all at this stage!</p>

<p>Stuck here T.T" and no letter today.....</p>
<p>Mine is still only completed prelim review since 12/19!!!! >.<</p>
<p>Completed prelim. review ;) Just sent in my mid year grades online today and my counselor is mailing a copy of my new transcript with updated gpa/rank.</p>
<p>Is there anyone who got the acceptance letter while their online status was only completed prelim review?</p>
<p>Yes, one person who has reported here so far. Madbeans S got in without his status ever going beyond preliminary review is complete.</p>
<p>Mine is on "completed preliminary review" and has been stuck there since December 7th! That's way sketchy!</p>
<p>i want to know now!! still prelim.. gez.. i hate the people who already got in.. ok not really.. but still! i wish i were them</p>
<p>As rainmama has said, my S's status page never changed. In fact, it didn't even list the message: "preliminary review is complete" or any other. Just had: "Last updated 12/1." The admissions office (by phone) said it was just a problem with the online status system (!) and all his documents had been received by the 12/10 deadline. And then--the magic letter arrived by mail on 1/26!! So everyone should still feel hopeful, I think. And good luck to you all.</p>
