<p>i was able to do the housing application all the way up to having to pay the $45 fee. why would USC allow rejected applicants to pay $45 dollars to a school they were rejected to? just saying.</p>
<p>Agreed ibmx. Makes sense. But we need someone who has received a decline to try it for us.</p>
<p>I think USC probably did not anticipate people trying to apply without knowing they got in, or willingly paying $45 with no guarantee they have been admitted. As jazz/shredder mom pointed out in another thread, the success rate so far has been too good - as much as I’d like for us all to be in, 4 out of 5 of us will be rejected, so by now someone would have HAD to failed to register.</p>
<p>Or its a ploy to get free money…muahahahaha</p>
<p>well if you think about it, the majority of people on collegeconfidential are very intelligent…and how many people are in these forums who actually applied? 10 or 12?</p>
<p>But still, statistically someone would have been rejected from registration by now…</p>
<p>ibmx, read previous years threads on cc to see the multitudes of people sadly reporting their rejections, as will unfortunately happen here soon as well. I love your optimism, but I greatly fear you are giving people false hope. And that’s what bothers me.</p>
<p>Also, it says on the housing site (somewhere in the registration process, I forget) that any accounts established without a valid USC ID will be deleted and the deposit is not refundable. If you are not accepted, at some point, your USC ID will be invalid.</p>
<p>Wishful thinking is fine, and although I doubt it, I hope you are correct. But spreading rumors can cause pain.</p>
<p>Lots of schools accept (even encourage) non-refundable housing application fees before you are admitted.</p>
<p>We need someone who actually received a rejection letter to see if he/she can register for housing. If he/she can, then we know that this is not a reliable way to try “cheating” the system and finding out our admissions decisions early.</p>
<p>Well I made an account for housing and I mixed up my first and last name by accident. I sent USC Housing an e=mail and they fixed it for me…without deleting my account. Good sign?</p>
<p>Hope so kev!</p>
<p>We established in the other big thread that housing DOES NOT indicate admission status.</p>
<p>Someone who unfortunately received a rejection letter was still able to make a housing account.</p>
<p>Well yeah, but they say that they will delete invalid accounts. My point was that I made an account, contacted USC, had them change some information for me, and they did so without deleting it.</p>
<p>What’s the link to the housing site? I’d like to give it a try :D</p>
<p>Every time this thread gets bumped Rebecca Black sings about another day of the week. </p>
<p>Good things come to those who wait! There really isn’t any guarantee with the housing app… we’ve already established that it does not work as a “backdoor” to admissions. Just wait for the decision to come :)</p>
