[flint nexus]

Me starting at my EA portals just waiting for them to release 👁️

[lofty falcon]

there’s still something on my portal saying a transcript is missing

Even though I uploaded it and emailed the ao about it

What does it mean 😭

[flint nexus]

just stare more it will go away

[steady olive]

How is the food at USC

I've seen mixed reviews on Reddit but it is very important to me

[final tangle]

quite mid

gets old quickly there r only a few good meals

[steady olive]

Dang

[final tangle]

doesn't help that as a freshman ur on an unlimited swipes plan so u feel the need to eat there always

[steady olive]

All my other schools I'm applying to have shit food so I was hoping 90k would get you some good stuff

[final tangle]

It's ok if u rotate dining halls but like me personally im too lazy to walk to a diff dining hall most of the time so i'll just eat at the one closest to me

[forest skiff]

bro im afraid to ask but what does rushing mean

[brisk osprey]

basically joining greek life

[forest skiff]

then whys that such a big deal

and what's bidding

[brisk osprey]

you have to try out for various houses, so you go and you meet with all of them. If they like you (and you like them) you get invited back to the next round. The process continues for a few rounds, until you get a “bid” the bid is only for one house. You can accept the bid, and then go to initiation to become a full member, or you can drop and reject the bid, at which point you’re left with nothing

[jaunty zenith]

Pulling up here to wish you guys the best of luck to get into this school

[ionic parrot]

thank you eddie

[forest skiff]

damn why are clubs and frats this intense like i thought it was just you tell them you wanna join and they let you in

guys i am not cut out for USC 😐

[pale grove]

what time does usc come out on friday

[fading gazelle]

5pm

[high wave]

most greek societies require a lot of committment

[jaunty bone]

js get ucla friends lol

[final tangle]

Y’all cross that bridge once u get to it get in first 💀😭

[steady olive]

Is UCLA food better?

[finite hearth]

that's what i heard

[past dirge]

i heard that UCLA food is the best

(main reason why i applied)

[rancid lion]

I heard it fell off HARD after Covid

But still good

[past dirge]

oof

[wintry bobcat]

for people who applied yesterday have they downloaded your app yet?

[forest skiff]

LMAO I KNOW IM NOT GETTING IN IM JUST CURIOUS

[polar lichen]

[rancid lion]

This just came up on the instagram feed

But have yall usc students tried Little Pan

They have like milk tea and pan fried dumplings and I wanna try it

[high wave]

@rancid lion has ur fafsa form processed

[rancid lion]

Not yet still processing

[brisk osprey]

ive never heard of it

[rancid lion]

It’s new apparently

[high wave]

I left out so many schools bc i thought i could edit before processing

[rancid lion]

On fafsa it cleared the second stage I just checked, it just needs to be processed

[rancid lion]

It’s ok

Just email or call them up

[high wave]

fafsa?

[rancid lion]

No schools that u couldn’t add

[forest skiff]

does it show submitted tho?

[unkempt sail]

says the purdue acceptee with scholarship

[rancid lion]

not submitted still.

[forest skiff]

look that would be impressive if i was a cs/eng major

[forest skiff]

wait then how can it process 😭

Does it show this for you too

[rancid lion]

i just got passed the second stage lol

just waiting on the last one

[forest skiff]

when did you submit and when did it show submitted for you?

like immediately or did it take a while to switch from started to submitted even after you submitted

because my dad said he submitted but it doesn't show that on my end so im confused

[rancid lion]

the date states jan 7, also i think i might have submitted jan 4. i really dont remember

[forest skiff]

ohhh so it takes a while to switch to submitted right? it's not immediate?

[rancid lion]

nope.

takes a bit

[forest skiff]

alright great tysm!

[rancid lion]

no problemo

[fleet belfry]

Well this is gonna be silly goofy

[stable quail]

do the "admission counselors" on the usc website review our applications?

[ancient echo]

💀

[undone elbow]

if we send official scores to usc will it be bad if i have high superscore but low actual scores since they can see?

[native heron]

i like it. isn’t perfect but fine enough to at least have something palatable at one of the dining halls. plus the mango guava passion fruit frozen concentrate goes hard 😩

[ionic parrot]

used to go to evk a lot

[warm canopy]

i think its fine

[fleet belfry]

Lmfao more McCarthy kids in a few days

[final tangle]

not me tyina pull some bs out for illium rn

[ionic parrot]

ilium ‼️

cowlings and ilium is where i stayed over da summer

[native heron]

nah cuz what are we supposed to write for the essay 😭

[meager crescent]

You have to write an essay for housing application?

[native heron]

for sophomore honors housing

[forest skiff]

whats the essay about

[final tangle]

some bs about why we wanna live in ilium

[meager crescent]

Isnt mccarthy the honors college

[final tangle]

no clue

[meager crescent]

What is ilium

[forest skiff]

why college but housing edition

[final tangle]

mccarthy is the freshman honors college

[meager crescent]

Oh

[native heron]

for freshman

[final tangle]

the mccarthy of ur sophomore year is ilium

[forest skiff]

how do you get into freshman honors

[meager crescent]

Can anyone get into mccarthy

[forest skiff]

like they invite you after acceptance?

[native heron]

get a merit scholarship i think

[forest skiff]

ahh

[meager crescent]

Does national merit count

[native heron]

yes

[meager crescent]

Or does it have to be deans or trustee

Ok so if i get in im auto mccarthy?

[native heron]

national merit = presidential scholarship = honors housing

[forest skiff]

wait if you dont specify national merit on your app but then use it for scholarship is that like allowed

[forest skiff]

damn

[native heron]

you aren’t technically guaranteed any specific building but the odds of a presidential scholar getting in mccarthy is near 100%

[native heron]

that’s fine

[meager crescent]

Yea

[native heron]

just make sure USC is your #1 college on NMSQT website before like May or something

[meager crescent]

I didnt put it on my app lol

[forest skiff]

bruh

[meager crescent]

I heard natl merits get judged harder

[forest skiff]

should've taken nmsqt

[meager crescent]

Its near impossible for intl

[native heron]

where did ppl get the idea that USC judges natl merit people harder 😭

[final tangle]

There is a prescedent. It goes trustee and presidential, then deans for mccarthy

[meager crescent]

U need like a 224

[native heron]

why would they specifically create a scholarship just to not give it out 💀

[meager crescent]

Idk

[native heron]

i swear a2c be worrying about things it makes up lol

[meager crescent]

They dont have infinite money

They dont wanna give everyone the scholarship

Thats why

Also natl merit wont boost my odds

[final tangle]

ok but like they want to attract NMFs that the entire point

[meager crescent]

I know that for sure

[native heron]

they’re USC, they could give every single student half off tuition and still have enough money to last decades

[final tangle]

Like they r actively looking for NMFs to come

[meager crescent]

They want to attract applicants

Which gives them app fees

[final tangle]

They want to attract actual finalists to their school too

[meager crescent]

They dont have more natl merits

Than other schools

[native heron]

i think y’all’s are thinking way too pessimistic about this

[meager crescent]

I guess lol

[native heron]

they just want more national merit students 😭 that’s all there is to it

[final tangle]

They automatically upgrade NMFs to national merit scholar winners so they can brag about how many national merit scholars they have

[forest skiff]

doesn't cutoff vary by state

[forest skiff]

then why dont they 💀

[meager crescent]

Yea but u dont go to a US high school

So u need like a 224/225

At least

[forest skiff]

ahhh

[native heron]

refer to the first two words of the message lol

[meager crescent]

They have pretty shit aid ngl

In comparison to other t20s

[forest skiff]

usc isnt a t20 tho

[meager crescent]

Ok well other t30s

Same thing

[native heron]

USC has comparable aid to other T25s it’s just that theirs is more reliant on merit

[final tangle]

Based on what? Not disagreeing just curious where ur getting the info

[meager crescent]

Net price calculators

[forest skiff]

kvd how much did you get in nmsqt

[meager crescent]

And hearing from students

[meager crescent]

224

[forest skiff]

rip where'd that 1 point go

[native heron]

people always be saying shit about usc 😔 hate us cuz they ain’t us ✌️ #fighton

[meager crescent]

Its out of 228

[forest skiff]

oh

[final tangle]

what was that as a score i forgot the conversion

[forest skiff]

i thought this meant 224 out of 225

[meager crescent]

Lmao im not too worried bc ill get around 30k aid 30k natl merit and i can prob pay the rest the problem is getting in

[meager crescent]

1500/1520

[final tangle]

damn

[meager crescent]

Not every 1500 is a 224 tho

I had a 740 english 760 math

[final tangle]

ah the joys of sat

[native heron]

damn bro, usc with lots of aid is one of the best opportunities for college

[meager crescent]

Also i dont hate usc at all lmao it was my dream school last year

Until i decided i didnt wanna do wbb anymore

I still like it tho

[final tangle]

wbb is so wack to me idk

[meager crescent]

Im ngl im hoping for an ivy/t10 bc i get full tuition waived

With usc if i didnt have the natl merit scholarship id have to pay 60k

[forest skiff]

wait really

[meager crescent]

Financial aid isnt great for my situation

[forest skiff]

i thought wbb was your dream

[meager crescent]

I didnt end up applyjnb

Its crazy ik

[forest skiff]

damn

[meager crescent]

I did marshall bba

Instead

[forest skiff]

ah

[native heron]

i did marshal bbl 😩

[forest skiff]

bro my cheapest option rn is purdue and i regret not withdrawing bcuz i dont wanna go to indiana 💀

[meager crescent]

2 of My friends applied business of cinematic arts

Is it hadd to get that

We have 4 kids applying to marshall lol

[native heron]

every wbb kid will make sure you know they’re wbb 😒

[final tangle]

[meager crescent]

Theres like 40 of em

And its hella comp

4 extra supps

And interview

Id flex too

If i told ppl i go to usc they would prob assume im rich asl

💀

[native heron]

awww 🥺 do they want an award? do they want bella hadid to sing for them 🥺

[native heron]

if you tell people you go to usc, most normal people will prob go “aww cool! where is that?”

[final tangle]

^^^ no fr

[native heron]

people from the midwest don’t even know stanford 😭

(some do but a ton ton don’t)

[forest skiff]

i told my aunt i was applying to usc and she said usc is the college everyone in our family gets into but no one goes

[final tangle]

yall been on a2c too long the world is wayyyyy bigger than rankings and college stereotypes

[native heron]

seriously. like bro we’re all just teens and young adults , we’re dumb af and no one is better than anyone else

[meager crescent]

Bro no one asking where is that

Usc is one of the most known schools in the nation

Either football, la, or the scandal

They are bound to know

Its a dream for so many kids

Thats why they have hella apps

Micro influencer moment

I swear half the student body is a micro influencer

Like 20-100k followers

[native heron]

i hate to break it to you but people are a lot less knowledgeable about rando college stuff than even I think sometimes and i have a pretty low opinion

[native heron]

them and u*la 😒

[meager crescent]

I live in texas and everyone here knows usc

Im ngl ucla is def more well known tho

[native heron]

my boyfriend also lives in texas and he says usc and ucla are very hit or miss with people knowing them

[meager crescent]

24kgoldn put usc on the map 🗣️🗣️

[native heron]

at least in Illinois where i’m from, people seem less likely to know usc than something like purdue, UIUC, etc.

[meager crescent]

I should’ve specified. I live in north texas so its more popular

[native heron]

ON GUCCI VALENTINO!!

[meager crescent]

Idk about rural texas tho

[native heron]

for fairness

[undone elbow]

[prisma arch]

[undone elbow]

early

[finite hearth]

[prisma arch]

oh the decision is coming out the 19 so it be too last min yo send it now

[royal mural]

perhaps because it was beforehand

like post 19 they probably dont want to see your info

[onyx geyser]

im sure its fine

if you send in an update after your deferral

like ec, etc.

[royal mural]

i mean they say they dont want it

[onyx geyser]

they say they dont want a LOCI

[prisma arch]

im pretty sure usc doesn't take loci

[onyx geyser]

if you just say hey i got this ec thats fine?

[final tangle]

idt they'll take any thing since they said no loci's

[unkempt sail]

Yes

[unkempt sail]

What

[pure mason]

Did anyone who applied ea also get that regular decision fafsa deadline email

[hushed folio]

yes

i don’t think that means we are deferred or anything

atleast yet lmao

[pure mason]

Okay yea thanks 😭 I’m entering paranoia mode

[hushed folio]

i thought the same thing so np

someone lmk if i’m wrong tho

[unkempt sail]

I didnt get that

[prisma arch]

[wheat sand]

[fleet belfry]

They have you agree with their affirmations

[stable quail]

Rd

[stable quail]

ohhh okay this email wasn’t recent

[final tangle]

yes, the presidential scholarship

[vocal lotus]

W ty

[worthy elk]

are scholarships only for good grades and test scores or can u get scholarships for leadership

at USC

[stable quail]

i’m pretty sure there’s a scholarship specifically dedicated to leadership

[final tangle]

Take a look at this https://admission.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/scholarships-grid.pdf

[somber jasper]

yeah but in my humble opinion it sucks

I saw this and freaked for a sec😭

[jaunty zenith]

skipped the line

[viral spire]

I don’t want to get in anymore 😭 I really thought about it and usc doesn’t seem all that appealing (aka my parents like it)

[forest skiff]

bUt WhAt If YoU gEt In

no tbh that's fair I'd choose UCLA over usc if they had my major

usc is better for my major but UCLA for everything else>>>>

plus in state tuition is not a joke

[viral spire]

I won’t dw girl

[jaunty zenith]

i took my app out

[viral spire]

The only way I can afford usc too is if I get in ea with a scholarship

[jaunty zenith]

gave u guys 0.000001% better chance

[viral spire]

Aren’t you committed though

[forest skiff]

yes

alr ty

[somber jasper]

you might be as dedicated as me

quite possibly

[stable quail]

wait kiley some people on reddit are saying they emailed their usc admissions counselor and they responded saying that receiving this email means youre deferred 😭 do you think theyre giving false info cuz idt counselors would indicate a decision before this friday

[brisk osprey]

Yeah no

decisions will come out on friday

[jaunty zenith]

If not a true source, never trust

[brisk osprey]

anything before that is not legit

[jaunty zenith]

^

one more day, hang in there!

[young pecan]

What kinda bullshit is this blud ☠️☠️

[final tangle]

sentence was invalid once u said reddit

[woven rapids]

Very unlikely an admissions counselor would say that to an applicant

[prisma arch]

loll

[young pecan]

And as per that logic all motherfucking internationals will be accepted deadass

And also for the record, on the Reddit thread, the only 2 people who are confidently saying it are very evidently bullshitting 😂

[stable quail]

okay yeah lwk their claim makes no sense

[rancid lion]

what email

[stable quail]

financial aid email

[rancid lion]

?

could i see by chance in dms

[stable quail]

yeah gimme one sec

[ionic parrot]

eveyrone gets one i think?

its for fafsa

[rancid lion]

bro i didnt get the ucla scholarship email

i was legit the only one

[brisk osprey]

financial aid has no bearing on admissions at all. anyone who says otherwise is wrong

[stable quail]

yeah im assuming ppl got it if they didnt fill out fafsa and css

[ionic parrot]

yeah i dont qualify for it lol

[viral spire]

I filled out fasfa and got it

[stable quail]

oh wait nvm then

[rancid lion]

i legit dont know what this email is

[ionic stone]

ehhh

[viral spire]

are we talking about this email

[viral spire]

Just sent it

[ionic stone]

look at the post history of the ppl on the megathread talking about it

they highkey trolling

[rancid lion]

ya no i didnt get it

[viral spire]

No portal astrology guys

[viral spire]

Where

[ionic stone]

so we chilling

[worthy elk]

when was this sent?

[viral spire]

I just thought it was weird at first bc I submitted ea but I realized it was one of those subscription emails

[viral spire]

5 for me

It’s if you gave usc your email

[worthy elk]

ohhhhh ok

[viral spire]

Yeah let’s delete this no need to create false fear

[unkempt sail]

why dont they send me this stuff

[viral spire]

Did you give them your email

Oh wait

It says it I just cropped

[young pecan]

BRUH the funny thing is, at least us internationals aren’t a part of this shithousery lmao

[unkempt sail]

Nvm i got it

[young pecan]

Literally means nothing

[viral spire]

Meanwhile actual emails

[viral spire]

Yup

[ionic stone]

yea i got that email earlier idk why we're all freaking out now

[viral spire]

It’s just them sending emails

[ionic stone]

highkey portal astrology

[unkempt sail]

I DIDNT GET THIS

[viral spire]

You did relax

It’s from a long time ago

[young pecan]

It’s an old email. Everyone gets it

[unkempt sail]

nvm i did

[viral spire]

I just pulled up a random one

[viral spire]

Yeah no portal astrology allowed

No need to freak out it’s just a regular email

[final tangle]

yall wildin

go rot on tiktok or something

[viral spire]

TikTok ❌

[plucky barn]

hear me out, there should be a channel just for portal astrology and then its not allowed in any other channels

[rancid lion]

ive gotten this one but this one was back in nov

[young pecan]

There was one for NYU, Purdue peeps didn’t give 2 shits and started on the main channel itself

[viral spire]

No

Portal astrology creates a lot of unnecessary fear

And speculation

[viral spire]

Yeah it says nov

[plucky barn]

but works sometimes

ie purdue it totally worked

[viral spire]

There’s no guarantee ahead of time

[royal mural]

we do not care, does not help many people and just makes people tense af

[brisk osprey]

theres no sign of your status before the released time - USC admission person :)

try to relax!

[plucky barn]

lol fair

[young pecan]

Like one day left now

[woven rapids]

So I should ignore that email I recieved telling me that I was already in? I wondered why it came from a gmail acct

[brisk osprey]

On Friday you will get an email saying there has been an update to your portal it wont just say if you got in or deferred in the email 😭

[woven rapids]

Oh I know. I was just joking.

Thank you for all your info though! You're pretty awesome

[brisk osprey]

i figured, but based on the number of emails and phone calls I get like this I wanna make sure lmao 😭😭

[woven rapids]

Hahaha! That's totally fair. I can imagine you get a lot of anxious people

[brisk osprey]

We get it!! We were there once too :))

[undone elbow]

has usc historically been like purdue, acceptances roll out first rejections later?

[brisk osprey]

nope! everything goes out

truly a mixed bag

[undone elbow]

everything out at once?

[brisk osprey]

sorry, i misspoke. its still rolling, but deferrals and acceptances go out at the same time

[short walrus]

Can you check my app

[brisk osprey]

so the time you receive it has nothing to do with accepting or deferring

[undone elbow]

when did decisions start rolling out last yr or the yr before

[final tangle]

roughly 4 pm

[undone elbow]

pst?

[final tangle]

yessir

[brisk osprey]

bestie decisions have already been made so theres nothing anyone can do now

[short walrus]

I just want to see already 😭

[brisk osprey]

soon!! try to distract yourself :))

[plucky barn]

wait kiley your an admissions officer as a college junior?

[somber jasper]

fax this kinda scary ngl

[fleet belfry]

Nah she works in the admissions office 😭

[final tangle]

she aint an admissions officer 💀

[fleet belfry]

You can do that once you are on campus

That doesn’t mean you are an AO 😭

[plucky barn]

o

what work does she do in the admissions office?

[brisk osprey]

I give admissions presentations, answer phones/emails (yes when you email us students answer), give tours, and answer questions like these :)

[plucky barn]

o very interesting

[brisk osprey]

as stated above students cant be aos

[plucky barn]

do you plan to become an ao ever

given that your already involved in the admissions office

[brisk osprey]

ive considered it as a backup plan, but thats not my area of study or what im really interested in

[plucky barn]

ah i see cool

[brisk osprey]

but my bosses are AOs so thats how I validate my info lol

[plucky barn]

lmao thats actually so cool tho

imagine ur boss a college ao

[stable quail]

ooh how many ao's do yk

[brisk osprey]

like how many are there? Or how many do i know personally?

[stable quail]

how many yk personally

[brisk osprey]

i’m close with like 10-12 of them

[plucky barn]

do a lot of colleges offer students an opportunity to work in the admissions office

unlucky that i didn't apply usc

[brisk osprey]

for most schools you can in some manner. front desks, tour guides, etc

[plucky barn]

i see

[stable quail]

oh wow, did most of them attend usc?

[brisk osprey]

most actually went other places for undergrad, some people came for grad school, very few were actual usc undergrads

[stable quail]

oh interesting interesting

[plucky barn]

do they ever tell you more classified information that isn't released publically

[brisk osprey]

Yes

[plucky barn]

💀 sheeeeesh

i gotta try this job at college

[rancid lion]

How abt spilling the beans

The tea

The info

[brisk osprey]

A majority of the time the classified info is told to us a few weeks before released to the public

[rancid lion]

all I’m saying is we are two days away

Nothing to lose now

[brisk osprey]

ie decision dates, acceptance breakdown, demographics etc

[brisk osprey]

uh my job?

[stable quail]

does this include like the admission stats that went out a few days before early action came out last year?

[plucky barn]

oh i meant more like how students are evaluated, things they prioritize for admissions etc

[rancid lion]

It’s ok.

It’s ok

[brisk osprey]

yes

[forest skiff]

do we get that info after 19th

[prisma arch]

hey do yk how diff the process is for academy students?

[rancid lion]

I heard usc doesn’t let u see ur admission file if u do get accepted

[brisk osprey]

Usually they wait to give full breakdowns until after RD and yield rates are finalized

[brisk osprey]

everything they say about hollistic admission is true. everything is evaluated equally

[plucky barn]

i see

wait so can you confirm it's released 3-5 pm PST?

[brisk osprey]

academy as in IYA?? i do!

[past dirge]

just to check...USC doesn't reject EA right?

[prisma arch]

YESS IYA!!

[forest skiff]

ohhh but i thought last year stats went out before ea results?

[brisk osprey]

I’ve already confirmed that decisions are on a rolling basis and they will all be out by 5pm PST

[plucky barn]

when do they start rolling?

[brisk osprey]

Some stats do, yes, but like the common data set and stuff take longer

[brisk osprey]

Yeah! Ask away hahah

[brisk osprey]

Last year it was approx 4pm PST

[plucky barn]

aww my friends won't be at school to check 😭

[brisk osprey]

this is normal please dont portal astrology

[plucky barn]

i won't get any live reactions

[rancid lion]

I gotta teach kids from 3-5:30

Noooo

[prisma arch]

is ea and iya interview decisions around the same time?

[rancid lion]

I gotta wait

[brisk osprey]

Friday morning i’ll send out a big FAQ about decisions and stuff

[prisma arch]

tysm!!

[brisk osprey]

IYA is a cohort program so those decisions will be out by April 1st. They need more time than other schools to evaluate, so I’m actually not sure when they will be released

[prisma arch]

ohhh ok 😔 thanks!

[brisk osprey]

Of course!! IYA is an amazing program, I have a few friends in it, so best of luck!!

[past dirge]

hi! do u know if WBB will all be out ea?

[prisma arch]

oo tysmm it sounds so fun

[fading gazelle]

Hi does anyone know what the acceptance rate for wbb?

[brisk osprey]

I believe so since it had a November 1st deadline, but again since they are a cohort program they do have more time (April 1st)

[brisk osprey]

approx 5%

[forest skiff]

okay!

[short walrus]

how many AOs are there

[native heron]

@brisk osprey do you know how I can go about seeing my admission file?

[brisk osprey]

you can ask at the admission office but it’s literally just a download of your commonapp it doesnt have AO comments/grading or anything

[brisk osprey]

like 35-40

[native heron]

damn 😔

that’s exactly what i wanted 😒

[brisk osprey]

oh yeah they know that lmfao

[native heron]

😭

maybe if i work in admission i can see that… which btw kiley are there other admissions office jobs beside student ambassador

bc i want to work a job in admissions this semester but Student Ambassador is only a fall application ://

[brisk osprey]

nope :(

[native heron]

egats 😔 ay carumba 😔

[brisk osprey]

next year bestie!!

[native heron]

usc won’t know what hit em 😈

[brisk osprey]

lemme just mark you as a no rq

🫣

[worthy elk]

is it true its only a 20-25% deferral --> acceptance rate?

[native heron]

😔 damn ruining my hopes like that

[brisk osprey]

I like to look at it this way, about 80% of the incoming class will be admitted RD. But in total, yes there is a small acceptance rate across the board

[past dirge]

i wrote five essays and did an interview for WBB, they better accept me

[short walrus]

How many people who apply early action end up getting in during RD after getting deferred

well the percentage

[jaunty bone]

20-25

[short walrus]

oh damn.....

[brisk osprey]

Yeah 20-25%

[short walrus]

compared to other schools

is that low

[jaunty bone]

no

[forest skiff]

wait why😭

does it have separate ao feedback or decisions about admit/defer idk

[brisk osprey]

nope. its just your commonapp essay

[amber venture]

is it even legal for USC to do this?

[brisk osprey]

yes lol a lot of schools allow you to see your application

why would it not be legal? you submitted it to usc?

[amber venture]

no i mean like is it legal for them to like not release the AO comments to you and just give you your common app like you already have

cuz technically you have a right to your information

[brisk osprey]

Yes. You’re not legally entitled to why you got admitted or denied

[amber venture]

but thats legit FERPA though so you are entitled? i aint a laywer though

[brisk osprey]

FERPA protects the student from other people who may want access to your information (ie grades, etc) hence why no one can access your information in school without your permission (including parents, friends, counselors)

[idle coral]

pretty sure its a thing that public schools have to release certain data

privates can withhold what ever they want i think?

[wintry bobcat]

There are no deadlines shown for supplemental materials in my portal, when is the duedate for LOR and score reports and whatnot?

[forest skiff]

usually its your app deadline itself but most colleges provide a grace period of about one week

[fleet belfry]

😭 there’s still nothing preventing them from not actually leaving any comments

At usc they don’t actually leave comments you can request to see it but you are basically just going to see your application

It sucks but there won’t be like 30 little comments that show the reason why they thought you should be admitted

It’ll just be blank

[fading gazelle]

before u log in and click status update, will it say something like 'reply to admit form' if u get accepted

cuz then if it does you basically know ur decision before clicking status update which i dont want

[lofty falcon]

wait so it’s possible to get deferred for wbb tomorrow?

[past dirge]

do other school's AOs leave comments?

[plucky barn]

ye

[forest skiff]

not allowed on this server

[undone elbow]

Did anyone get their FAFSA processed yet? I submitted it on 1/6 and it still is not processed and not sent over to the colleges.

[viral spire]

Does usc require mid year reports from everyone?

No portal astrology discussion

[lofty falcon]

Kiley said they’ll only ask for one if they feel they need it? idk it’s confusing

[royal mural]

FAFSA stuff is going to be happening late jan-early feb

[onyx geyser]

Only for certain people. I just sent mine anyway because there was an option to submit it in the portal

[viral spire]

Oh ok I didn’t get anything via mail but it looks like my counselor submitted a mid year

[viral spire]

Ah ok I see

I think my counselor did mine

[undone elbow]

ok thnks

[marsh belfry]

At what time will the decisions be released?

[prisma arch]

for ea its 5 pm pst

[marsh belfry]

Was that revealed on their website?

[polar lichen]

I got a similar email as the other dude months ago when I updated them with info

[winter tinsel]

no it’s like 5.4% if you do the math no?

https://admission.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/first-year-student-profile.pdf

2043/37858

[swift rose]

Oh hey I met her at a college fair

[amber venture]

what did you add that the ao thought was impressive

[arctic valve]

bro i tried sending my ao counselor updates and she said they don't accept anything

and i forgot to include smt on common app 😭

[polar lichen]

dont wanna get doxxed but i briefly talked abt signifcant events I’ve attended/spoken at for my arts ambassadorship (very vague ik 💀)

[polar lichen]

omg thats cool

[fleet belfry]

Wow

Like a day till acceptances

Woohoo

[final tangle]

For those who r interested

[ionic stone]

for this yr rivht

thats 7.2% acceptance

[pure mason]

wait how do u get this info 😭

[fleet belfry]

Yep

EA rate is up

[fleet belfry]

Highschool counselors were sent it

[pure mason]

woahhhh

[fleet belfry]

I totally know you

[pure mason]

that's cool ty for sharing

[fleet belfry]

🤷‍♂️

[final tangle]

It was sent to high school counselors

[final tangle]

Why do u think that

[fleet belfry]

Because you have Xavier’s screenshot

Sam type beat?

[vocal harness]

How is not allowing deferred students a chance to update upholding equity? Especially if I’m competing with regular decision applicants, there’s lots that have happened since Nov 1st

[final tangle]

R u a band kid

[final tangle]

My guy don’t ask me

[brisk osprey]

WBB does not have deferral, you are either in the program or denied. Whether or not that happens tomorrow I’m not sure.

[brisk osprey]

We simply have too many applicants. If everyone were able to submit updated information it would take too long to properly evaluate. Therefore, we do not accept updated materials/LOCIs

[viral spire]

Does that include application updates?

[brisk osprey]

Yes at this point we have stopped accepting application updates

Decisions have already been made

[viral spire]

I meant if you’re deferred

[brisk osprey]

Ah! We do not accept updates to applications if you have been deferred

[stable quail]

would explaining extenuating cirumstances that caused a dip in mid-year grades be considered an update that we cannot send?

[viral spire]

Thank you!

[nimble wren]

Where can I see the status? There’s no option to view my application status on the portal

[brisk osprey]

Cross that bridge when you get there. If you’re admitted EA, you don’t have to worry about grades dipping unless it is a VERY sharp dip. If you weren’t asked to submit mid year grades I wouldn’t be concerned with it until and unless you are admitted.

[brisk osprey]

Decisions come out tomorrow :)

[clever glacier]

hey i sent them my updated sat score using the score send thingy in mid dec

will it be considered for EA? and if not will it be considered for RD (if i get deferred)

or they will just use the score i sent when submitting my original app in nov

[brisk osprey]

If you sent your scores mid december they were probably evaluated for EA

[clever glacier]

that's a relief , thanks a lot!

looking back i could have dropped a short email to my AO about the update

but i was scared to piss them off cuz they specifically ask for no updates

[brisk osprey]

It’ll be okay!! USC is still test optional so if you did or didn’t submit scores it doesn’t really matter lol

[clever glacier]

i submitted my 1450 earlier and updated it to a 1500 later on in dec

i applied viterbi

[nimble wren]

If one of my family members went to ucla will the usc AOs hold that against me 🥲

[ionic stone]

probably not

i mentioned my parents r bruins in my 1st essay pepega

[stable quail]

ah got it, ty!

[onyx geyser]

this is nice but 41,000 apps 2.9k spots is still really really jarring

[brisk osprey]

I see, they probably would have updated it then.

[brisk osprey]

believe me I totally get it! I was in your shoes not that long ago :))

[nimble wren]

@brisk osprey do you know what time the decisions come out?

Like what specific time

Or is it rolling throughout the day

[brisk osprey]

They are on a rolling basis, but everything will be out by 5pm PST

[somber jasper]

bro i’m so geeked for usc

[brisk osprey]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CHECK YOUR PORTAL UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL OTHERWISE OUR SERVERS WILL CRASH AND EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO WAIT LONGER

[nimble wren]

Will we get an email notification instantly or will we need to keep refreshing every second throughout the day

Alr

Nvm then

[onyx geyser]

is there a possibility to get in ea for our second choice major?

[brisk osprey]

Ooops 😭😭

[somber jasper]

it’s sooo hard😭😭

[brisk osprey]

Yup! You are evaluated for both

[somber jasper]

yahooo

[cerulean sluice]

i just saw five seniors open USC portal in the table next to me LMAOOO
