<p>He applied for the scholarship, now that you ask. Sorry if I posted this on the wrong thread.</p>
<p>My thoughts on all of this? Stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, stress, STRESS! </p>
<p>Especially if rejection letters are sent later and I have to see all the other kids at school with their USC acceptances. </p>
<p>@jshain was he a scholarship finalist or just a normal rd acceptee?</p>
<p>I wrote to the regional rep asking about this before seeing this thread. She responded that admission decisions (for music performance major and general university) will be sent by snail-mail by the end of March. That both decisions will come simultaneously, and will be mailed within the next few weeks.</p>
<p>@hahvad- He was a scholarship finalist</p>
<p>So we have to wait to get our letter in the mail to see if we got in? Or can we check usconnect?</p>
<p>Official notification is by snail mail. There will be no indication of the decision on USConnect, though in years past (and this January) some applicants were able to find out through their ability to reserve a spot for the admitted student Explore sessions a day or two before the package arrived (this was especially true for those far from Los Angeles who’s mail took longer to arrive).</p>
<p>Note that USC Admissions peeks in on College Confidential every now and then and tends to plug those little holes when they occur

<p>do you know what major he/she was accepted to?</p>
<p>Oh wow, we could know pretty soon. sweet!</p>
<p>quick question on midyear grades. I entered mine online and i’m just wondering if thats all i had to do and not have my school send an actual transcript. because i remember the midyear letter even mentioning that they made it more convenient to applicants by allowing it online now, and even my required documents says that they have received my midyear report. thoughts?</p>
<p>^ wondering the same thing.</p>
<p>hmm, this is just a suggestion, but maybe try the enrollment deposit link? i think people used that last year as a “backdoor” to decisions. might be wrong though.</p>
<p>Here is the link that worked for SOME people last year. But it only seemed to work just before or after the decision was actually mailed, prior to that it said “user not authorized” or “invalid” or something like that.</p>

<p>When students who were accepted (or about to be) logged in, the form came up with all their information and USC ID number filled in, allowing them to make a deposit! (Note: you have until May 1 to make that deposit - do not rush, as there is nothing to gain by doing it early.)</p>
<p>Hi ! i was wondering if USC takes legacy into consideration… i have very average test scores and gpa but i have 2 generations of legacy (my mother and grandfather). thanks!</p>
<p>aaaaahhhh this is killing me, USC is very high on my list, slightly above UCLA where I was accepted as of today, but I realized too late to do anything that just about all of the schools I applied to I’m like right in or above the average scores, gpa, etc but I’m a classic middle class white kid with two parents who went to college so I’m not exactly good for any school’s diversity quotas. I live in Massachusetts so while all of you guys are celebrating acceptances sometime in the next few weeks I will be spending all of my time between the mailbox and staring at my computers for hours on end in the agony of not knowing</p>
<p>On top of that I will probably be on vacation from March 25-31. Wow this is painful</p>
<p>If USC sends out the decisions on March 20, when will it probably reach international applicants from Hong Kong and other nearby countries?</p>
<p>Embossed, it’ll take at least a week.
Does USC e-mail decisions to international applicants? Snail mail literally reaches me 2 weeks after it is postmarked</p>
<p>^ I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly from last year, international students get a fedex package that they have to sign for. I don’t think it’s snail mail. And it comes pretty close to when everyone else in the states is getting theirs.</p>
<p>Boysrule is correct (but it is DHL, not FedEx). Often our first indicators that letters may be on the way are the International applicants posting that they have received mysterious DHL emails saying a package is on its way from USC.</p>
<p>Rejections are sent by snail mail, even to Internationals, so that notification can take a very long time to reach International applicants. </p>
<p>Domestic applicants receive notification by US mail - Priority for acceptances, First Class mail for rejections.</p>
<p>hi everyone. anyone know anything about late applications? will it be ard the same time too?</p>
