youSC says they're going to perform some maintenance on the site this Sunday. Wonder if that has anything to do with the decisions being posted

Oh me for sure. I mean they would probably send an email anyway, but I have to channel my stress into something lol

yes! I'm constantly switching between my email, the portal, and this forum lol. but since they haven't come out yet I guess it's safe to assume they won't come out until next Sunday?

hey everyone, i have a question regarding the creative portfolio list. just wondering if the actual work itself needs to be included or the list is similar to a resume where you just list the works you've done.

It's good practice if you don't, in my opinion. USC does not state it clearly but other schools (like Loyola) do say they do not want access to any other works than the one within your visual/writing samples. I think they are not allowed to review them during their process.

As for whether it should look like a resume, I would say do whichever you feel fits your personality and remains appropriate. Lots of applicants will do a resume, so it's good practice to think outside the box and show them you go the extra mile. I designed it into colorful magazine-style papers and add screenshots. I don't know what they thought, but at least they didn't penalize me

Good luck!!

I didn't get an email. Just keep checking youSC. It said the notification was from the 17th, so maybe the delays have to do with the website refresh.

Thanks! They didn't at all.

congrats @Zafar Truth !!! I wonder what that means for the rest of us? do all acceptance decisions usually come out on the same day?

I have asked the admissions they told me that the decision will come out on a rolling basis, from mid oct to end of oct
