Anyone get an email about admittance? I saw a few more production students got admitted but no USC email in my inbox this morning...

 

[katiebonnie]

Has only one person been admitted so far?

I just got an acceptance letter! (domestic student). Notification that my decision status had been updated came at 6:27 a.m. EST. I just saw it now (7:40ish a.m.) because, well, I got up to use the bathroom. haha. There was no info regarding scholarship decisions. (But I am bleary eyed and not awake so I only skimmed the letter.) Anyone know when scholarship info came through in previous years?

Congrats!!

Thank you. Now I just gotta start an international drug cartel to be able to pay for it... (seems like a safe, stable line of work, right?)

 

[JasperJohns]

congratulations!!!!

Thanks!!

i got accepted around 4:30am (domestic, via email)

 

[JasperJohns]

Congrats! That is awesome. Did your letter say anything about scholarships?

 

[viipyramids]

holy shit I got accepted!!!! I woke up to an email saying a decision was posted and I knew that could only mean one thing. I'm in complete shock right now. I'm a domestic student and the email was sent at 2:33am (2/27/21).

No mention of scholarship yet, but did everyone's letter mention "Your academic records indicate that you will make a significant contribution to academic life at the university," and "This admission is offered subject to your maintaining your present level of academic achievement"? I am wondering if that is the standard letter or an indication that a scholarship is incoming. I'm also curious when scholarship info comes in. I will sell my left kidney to make sure I can attend, but I'd rather not have to.

Congratulations to @JasperJohns, @abo and @mcrawfordguy and I look forward to meeting everyone this fall!

Hey! That is so awesome!!!!! Very happy for you! My letter had this sentence, "Your academic records indicate that you will make a significant contribution to academic life at the university," But not the other one, as I am not currently enrolled in academic study. (Are you?)

Regarding putting your left kidney on the market. I know a guy, but he only trafficks in right kidneys. Think on it. hahahahaha.

All joking aside, genuinely happy for everyone -- And for those who do not get in, hang in there. Rejection in this field is nearly constant. Keep going. And if you are gonna reapply, I would happy share most of my materials with you, if it might help.

Congrats to all who got in!!!!

For those of us still anxiously refreshing and praying, do we know if they’re still sending things out over the next few days? Or when the waitlist decisions come out?

GroceryStoreMusic said in a previous post in this chain, "That year, acceptance letters were sent the last week of February. The waitlisted crowd heard back in early March, and I received my rejection letter around March 20. By April 23, roughly all decisions were made. That included the waitlisted folks who were eventually offered admission too! I'm not positive, but pretty confident April is when the dust settles, and the Class of 2021 is completely finalized at USC."

I recall reading in previous years that a second round of acceptance letters went out the weekend after the first round of letters. I am not sure if this is common practice, but I believe it has happened before.

Note that most other years found out on Saturday Night into Sunday morning for foreign/domestic, respectively, whereas this year was Friday night into Saturday morning. So things shift ever so slightly, obvs.

Thanks! I love your user name btw. GroceryStoreMusic is a whole genre unto itself. Kind of awful to listen to, yet we know every single word of every single song. And there is always Delilah at night. hahaha
