<p>Thanks - wouldn’t dare announce anything to anyone and have mud on my face, just trying to calm my own nerves! I have my neighbor checking my mail because if we get “the envelope” she is going to keep it and then I have a big surprise congrats group going to meet my daughter where ever she might be that day!</p>
<p>@MA2011 WHich one? SHe is at PCA. From the earlier posts of Southern Cal receiving them today, I figure Saturday at the earliest, but more likely Monday! We have family that lives in San Diego and it generally takes 5 days to receive a letter!</p>
<p>ok so i got the DHL mail a few hours back, can someone who got accepted tell me what was the weight of the packet??</p>
<p>Hi, Dekeman, where are you from?</p>
<p>Mailman just arrived.</p>
<p>Big package!!!</p>
<p>I won’t know what major he got accepted to until S comes home at 6pm. </p>
<p>!! </p>
<p>Best of luck everyone still waiting.</p>
<p>@scott - im in santa clarita, about 30 miles north of LA</p>
<p>121212 - Congrats on getting in! As to the question is USC worth it, as most private schools in the States are in the $50K range, it is definitely worth it. In comparison to the much lower cost of Universities in Canada, maybe less so for the comparably ranked Canadian institutions.</p>
<p>@Dekeman or @Madbean – any chance you want to log onto USConnect and tell us what you see?</p>
<p>@madbean</p>
<p>what was the weight of the package?</p>
<p>I’ve seen that the weight was 1lb</p>
<p>@Rice - USConnect is down… “System Issue: Due to a technical problem, services within USConnect are currently unavailable. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.”</p>
<p>Received package in San Diego today. Will let S open it when he gets home from school this afternoon.</p>
<p>A neighbor also received the package today – her son got spring admit, so I guess those went out at the same time.</p>
<p>Madbean …CONGRATULATIONS! how exciting!!! Yippee!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who received the acceptance today!
Best wishes and good luck to those waiting!</p>
<p>Thanks Dekeman – same here… whatever that means! LOL</p>
<p>so, we still dont know if the housing thing works. but i dont know if this means anything- i applied to apply for housing (any of you who have tried the link would know what im talking about) early this morning, and it said anyone with an invalid student number’s account would be deleted promptly. it’s been about six hours and i can still log in to the housing website. they even sent me a confirmation e mail with my username and password. however i dont want to pay to sign up or risk messing something up if im not actually accepted so i havent actually applied for housing… maybe this means something? im hoping it does. </p>
<p>im going crazy like everyone else, i live in WA and i probably wont get my letter until tomorrow or friday- if im accepted</p>
<p>or just the acceptance?</p>
<p>Acceptances AND rejections were mailed yesterday, however rejections went first class instead of priority and might take another day to arrive in SoCal.</p>
<p>@ckinder I go to Plano ISD… Do you really think mail will take until Monday? I was hoping to see something tomorrow, it is priority after all!</p>
<p>@ all who have been accepted - first CONGRATS! and second - is it an Express mail or Priority mail envelope? back on like page 33 someone posted a USPS link to calculate postage and day of delivery, but I could not find just a regular delivery envelope date and amount.</p>
<p>@ckinder i used the postage calculator and USPS said to expect on Thursday or Friday in DFW!</p>
