University of Southern California (USC) (2024-2025)

[long fiber]

juju?

[candid marsh]

i thought they were talking abt admissions 😭 but i think its someone on usc's basketball team- well, according to google

[strong monolith]

juju watkins is our star women’s basketball player and is regarded as one of (if not the best) player currently in college basketball and will likely be one of the greatest of all time

she tore her acl during the second round of march madness and will be out for the rest of the season because she needs surgery

which is very unfortunate not just because she’s only a sophomore but also since the last time usc had a season this successful we won the national championship

this was literally the first part of the tmb newsletter tonight

[flat shale]

😭

I had them winning it all

[mellow path]

juju will come back

paige also had a major injury her sophomore year

[granite wigeon]

usc campus so good

[wraith tinsel]

dropping tmrw damnnn

[vagrant badge]

what the chance of acceptance this year?

[scarlet matrix]

for RD itll probably be just under 10%

[strong monolith]

not this season

[mellow path]

yea i meant in general

to the dominant force we know her as

[dense junco]

Should be a little higher, considering there will be quite a few spring admits

Who don’t count towards the regular acceptance rate (I think)

[misty current]

correct

i think it's bc usc considers spring to be the same idea as a waitlist bc usc doesn't do waitlists

oh yeah fyi to everyone here you either get in or you don't, there is no WL at usc

[long fiber]

wait

so if i get waitlisted thats the same as getting in spring semester next year right?

[misty current]

no there is no waitlist

like you will 1) get in fall 2) get in spring 3) get rejected

[dense junco]

Also appeal acceptances

[misty current]

i mean those are only a few so it won't affect rate that much

[dense junco]

Even if you get rejected first, can get appealed at around May

[misty current]

spring admits are couple hundred tho

[dense junco]

I met quite a lot ironically

Of appeal admits

[misty current]

really?

[dense junco]

Yeah

[hollow sand]

Does USC still send AirPods to Marshall kids who get in

[proven juniper]

no way

that would be cold

pls Marshall

[cursive canyon]

is there a specific time tomorrow?

[wispy ridge]

3-4 pst

[frank coral]

day 1 of hating on USC

[flat shale]

usc bums

[silk hull]

Oh wait is usc rolling all day tmrw

[ashen swan]

a2c calendar says around 3-5pm PST but idk

[strong monolith]

the airpods ended a long time ago, they sent airtags the past couple of years but i havent heard anything from admits this year

i would not expect it given the cost of custom apple merch and usc's current finances

[flat shale]

guys i’m so scared

[proven juniper]

same

[opal slate]

I just want it over withh

[formal rose]

20 hours and 8 minutes left (if 3 pm💀

[steady pier]

We gettin in tmr

[granite wigeon]

DAMN

scary

my usc app was so cheeks

[frank coral]

day 1.5 of hating on USC

[misty current]

only 1.5 days and already rent free 🥱

[opal frigate]

I can’t even afford USC idk why I applied

Still can’t wait for the decisions

[silk hull]

its not an indication if usc is emailing you about financial aid stuff right

[strong monolith]

financial aid and admissions operate entirely independently of each other

[silk hull]

yeah thought so

[ashen swan]

I may be cooked I just reread my supplementals and cringed

[silk hull]

lmfaoo 😭

[wispy ridge]

were all getting in 🙏

[left bridge]

i lowkey forget to do one of my fast forms

am I cooked?

[strong monolith]

wdym

[ashen swan]

i think my dornsife supp was supposed to be serious and i wrote it about a rlly goofy hobby… i am so sorry to whoever had to read that 🙏

[misty current]

ik someone who wrote somethin silly you should be ok

[candid marsh]

is usc dropping today? what time?

[frank coral]

day 1.75 of hating usc

[drifting loom]

im so locked in for sc

im gonna be wearing my sweater for good luck tomorrow

[unborn gale]

it shows up now, it did not do that a couple weeks ago 💀 everything was gone except for a few random colleges

thanks for telling me though! i thought the money was gone

[drifting loom]

is there any predictions for the exact time that usc is coming out?\

i know the range is 3-5 PST but is there anything more particular yet?

[dense junco]

should be 3 PST

that's when it was last year

for me

some of you guys might get in as spring admits, I got that decision last year

don't get too surprised like I did and enjoy the acceptance!

[oak lichen]

is that like taking a gap semester

[dense junco]

yeah, you can save some money through community college or study abroad in europe

quite a few do end up getting moved up to fall tho

[oak lichen]

ohh cool cool

[round smelt]

I legit am so scared I cannot sleep bro someone send help now 😹😹😹😹

[digital bear]

Yall think usc will give me more aid if i appeal or will they take away my aid

[little folio]

thoughts and prayers for everyone

[little folio]

this is real bro 😭 every night before college decisions i can't sleep

cuz they come out like 6-8am for me

[muted sentinel]

Highly doubt they’d take it away

Can’t hurt to ask

[digital bear]

Ight time to increase my aid

I dunno if theyll go above full tuition grant tho

I need housing aid

Im too poor

[muted sentinel]

Idk anything abt usc fin aid but idt any uni would go above that. But you’ve got nothing to lose by asking

[candid marsh]

Is it true that USC may be increasing cost?

[digital bear]

Imma go broke i need it

im super low income

And they still wont full ride me smh

[digital bear]

its 100k bro how much higher is it gonna go

[muted sentinel]

I wouldnt underestimate these unis 💀
But anyone paying 100k is crazy n more than that is pure insanity

Idt i’d do it even if i had a million dollars

[late wadi]

USC decision got changed from tomorrow to today?

[round smelt]

it was always today

[round smelt]

[unreal mica]

HAPPY DECISION DAY!! best of luck to everyone awating decisions. I thought I would give y'all some FAQs so it's all in one spot. Fight on! - <3 Kiley

Q: WHAT TIME WILL DECISIONS DROP?
A: Its on a rolling basis to make sure our servers don't crash. They will all be out by 5pm PST

Q: How tf do you know all of this?
A: I work with the admissions center. I don't read apps, my bosses do, but I'm a student ambassador. I give tours, host info sessions, and help prospective students with the application process. All of this information is public info and can be fact checked.

Q: I GOT IN! What now?
A: If you are ready to commit, put down your deposit and submit your intent to enroll. This is due by May 1st (aka commitment day). After that, if you are interested in housing, start your housing application ASAP! Housing is based on a first come-first served basis.

Q: What's this about being admitted for spring? Am I waitlisted?
A: Nope! USC doesn't offer waitlist spots. You are fully admitted into USC, your Intent to Enroll form is due May 1st (commitment day) however your deposit is not due until August 1st. During your fall semester, you can study abroad at one of our partner universities, take community college classes, or simply take a semester off!

Q: I was denied admission. What now?
A: Don't give up! I was denied my first year and ended up transferring to USC. We do also have an appeal process to appeal a denied decision, so read the terms of your decision for instructions on how to do that.

Q: When are merit scholarships dropping?
A: That date is not available to the public yet, but very soon, so keep an eye out!

Q: I'm a National Merit Finalist, how do I get that scholarship?
A: You must select USC as your TOP choice school within NMSQT and commit! From there, the National Merit services will give us your information and you will automatically get a half-tuition scholarship.

PART 2

Q: Can I still get a merit scholarship if I was deferred EA and then accepted RD?
A: No, to be in the running for a merit scholarship you would have to be admitted EA and go though the scholarship interview process.

Q: When will I get my physical acceptance packet?
A: They will be mailed out next week!

Q: Is the "Spoiled Child" stereotype true?
A: I mean it just depends on what kind of crowd you associate yourself with. There are definitely people here that are full pay and wear designer everywhere they go and have more money on their wrist than some families make in a year, but there are also people who make less that 80k a year and are here on a full ride, FGLI students, etc. 2/3 of our student body is on some type of financial aid. so theres definitely a mix of everything

Q: Is USC safe?
A: I personally have never felt unsafe on or around campus. USC has MANY programs in place to ensure safety like requiring an ID if you want to come on campus and a free Lyft service every night between the hours of 6pm-2am. DM me for more info on this if you like.

Q: Is USC better than UCLA?
A: duh At the end of the day, they're both great schools. Do your own research about your major, research opportunities, area/campus life, and cost of attendance. Make your own informed decision!

Q: I'm worried about making friends
A: Totally understandable! You can always join clubs for similar interests, meet people in your classes, and even your roommates will be built in friends!! It’s not as daunting as it seems. Everyone is always looking for friendships

Q: What's the student culture like?
A: Definitely a work hard play hard environment, however there are MANY options for you if that isn't your scene.

Q: Can you tell me more about _____?
A: Yes lol thats my job, dm me!!

[forest cliff]

i messed up and forgot to submit the deferral reply form, so if i just responded to it rn am i cooked or can i still get in rd

[storm tide]

theres a reply form? 😭

[forest cliff]

it's in the portal to confirm ur interest in being considered for rd

[final steppe]

i think ur cooked bro

there was a deadline for that form

i dont remember when but there was

i think it was at the end of jan

[tribal crag]

ur the goat lemme shoot u a dm

[little folio]

tysm kiley 🫶🫶

[novel echo]

yeah im gonna go out on a limb and say the deadline for the deferral form isn’t the morning of decision day

So if the decisions are released on a rolling basis does anyone know when they’ll start releasing? Anyone gotten anything yet

[final steppe]

now is way too early imo

it didnt start rolling until about 5 hours from now in EA i think

at least

i got my decision at 4 pm pst

[novel echo]

okay so like from 2:00-5:00

[final steppe]

daylight savings wasnt on then

i think they also said that 5 pm pst was the upper limit, like the rollout would be done by then

[novel echo]

i didn’t even realize they were rolling on EA decision day

i was on the mountain when i got the email and got deferred ):

[final steppe]

the mountain?

[novel echo]

yeah i live at the foot of a mountain

so i go up skiing a lot

[final steppe]

admittedly it's pretty weird that there's not a time by which decisions will all be out

in their rd announcement

they had 5pm pst for ea

[final steppe]

oh thats kinda lit

[forest cliff]

wait it still let me submit tho

and i got a confirmation email

[novel echo]

it’s pretty much the only thing to do within 30 minutes of town but yeah

[final steppe]

huh

eh

AOs are not evaluating your app in half a day tho

[pliant veldt]

i think theyve decided the class already 😭

[final steppe]

yea fs

[novel echo]

some admissions officer is looking like a fast food worker when you walk in 1 minute from closing

[pliant veldt]

but nothing is impossible 😭

[pliant veldt]

dude u intl

[forest cliff]

rip 😔

[dense junco]

Give it a shot

[final steppe]

i'm fake intl

us citizen living abroad

[pliant veldt]

ok ur me

👍

can i dm

[final steppe]

sure ig

[strong monolith]

every school increases costs every year

[strong monolith]

i actually know someone who was in ma+p's first ever graduating class! its a very cool major

[strong monolith]

they definitely wont take away your aid but they are notoriously stingy with appeals

you probably have a good case though since youre full tuition/have a negative SAI

[tribal crag]

i cant bring myself to sit and study

it's hourss to result

😭

[digital bear]

Wait so its possible to get more housing aid?

[flat shale]

Hey what’s up, I am a national merit finalist but do not have USC currently listed as my top choice school. Someone on here said it would be too late to change it if i got in and committed to USC, is that the truth?

[digital bear]

Rn my housing cost is like cut in half cuz of cal grant and pell grant

i neeeeed moreeeeeee

[digital bear]

ts comes out today

[strong monolith]

i know someone who has housing aid but she also is insanely low income

but i would definitely try

[digital bear]

I am not actually that insanely low income ngl

My sai isnt fully -1500

[strong monolith]

isnt it like -900 lol

[digital bear]

yeah

[strong monolith]

trust that is still incredibly low income compared to like 90% of the students here

[digital bear]

my parents could theoretically afford the remaining costs they just dont want to

theyre like “if you act up were not gonna sign the loan” like wtf bruh

[digital bear]

So i got a chance

Imma email the finaid office with that inquiry then

today or something

[unreal mica]

Were you admitted EA?

[digital bear]

man no one i know irl got into usc ea so imma just have a random roommate

[round smelt]

that’s so cool!! JS a bit nervy cuz the 15 people per year is kinda scaring me… ik there’s more pickier majors but the odds seems a bit 😵😵

[strong monolith]

if it makes you feel better my major has 7 people lol

[strong monolith]

to be fair the direct costs will not be $99k

[digital bear]

The estimate thingy is kooky

[strong monolith]

theres like $8-10k of buffer room in there

[digital bear]

Can they give me the definitive shit yet

[round smelt]

DAMN. that’s so low bye 😭😭 how’d u even pull dat off

[strong monolith]

can you access e.pay

[strong monolith]

i fr have no idea

sometimes i feel like three kids in a trenchcoat

[digital bear]

no idea i just look at everything through fast

[silk hull]

PLEASE

[strong monolith]

e.pay is the payment portal, it might have an actual estimate for how much you owe

[silk hull]

😍

[strong monolith]

its under "pay my bill" on myUSC

[digital bear]

im not committed tho would it even work

[flat shale]

No, deferred

[scarlet matrix]

tough talk from a transfer admit 🙄

[unreal mica]

then as long as you submit it as your top choice before you commit you’re good to go

[unreal mica]

boy you were just cryin to me about how im leaving dont gimme attitude

[scarlet matrix]

it’s fine i’ll see u working at taco bell on fig

the E in SDA stands for employed

(not for quinn tho she seems to be making bank)

[unreal mica]

Damn

[strong monolith]

possibly? it wouldnt hurt to check

[strong monolith]

real

i have the final round of interviews for that job in menlo park today

and then an interview for the magic castle on friday

[thick hill]

i’m also national merit, to my understanding the deadline is may 1 to submit your first choice school for the scholarship. it makes no sense to have the reporting deadline before you even know if you’re accepted into the school, so i think you’re definitely good.

[flat shale]

bet bet ty

[brazen flower]

i have a good feeling about USC idk why

knock on wood though

[tulip ice]

Commit to usc

[brazen flower]

i applied rd so i haven’t heard back yet but i would commit

i feel like my stats are somewhat reasonable for usc but out of reach for ivies and i probably wouldn’t go to umich if i get in bc it’s too big and cold

basically i love you usc please accept me

[iron bramble]

What’s up fusc

[tulip ice]

Doesn’t have the same ring. FUCLA

[iron bramble]

F sc

[tulip ice]

Say u want it more than ucla then it will happen

[tulip ice]

Bet yall don’t got a Fucla shirt

[tribal crag]

FUCLAA

[brazen flower]

i decided to not even apply to ucla so i have a leg up ❗️❗️❗️

FUCLA 🔥🔥🔥

[misty current]

that's the spirit

[tulip ice]

Wow u already embody the usc spirit

Ur in

[misty current]

do u have a fucla shirt fish

[brazen flower]

thank you 🙏

[tulip ice]

Nah I didn’t go to the ucla vs usc game cuz it was hella expensive imma go this year tho cuz it shud be home

[tulip ice]

Good luck

[misty current]

ye its home this year

but i got my shirt from those dudes selling on trousdale before game

like u didn't have to go to pasadena or anything

[umbral lance]

what time

[tulip ice]

Oh ya ik they sold it but like I wasn’t going to the game so I didn’t buy

[tulip ice]

3-5 I think?

PST

[umbral lance]

no waitlist is such a W

[misty current]

real

[brazen flower]

ucla could never

[wide vector]

the 1 star for the financial aid office is living up to its low expectations ..

[umbral lance]

waitlist is such a stupid concept

just reject or accept

-waitlisted student

[wide vector]

even colleges are indecisive

[tribal crag]

agree

[tulip ice]

Ya, u will prob be on call for maybe abt 1 hr for financial aid to pick up

[tribal crag]

especially schools who be waitlisting 3x - 4x their class size

like

bro

wtf

[wide vector]

💀

[tulip ice]

That’s like normal eta fore financial aid to pick up

[wide vector]

40 min wait yesterday and all they told me was to read the directions on financial aid checklist like I haven’t 100x already

[strong monolith]

40 minutes is low for them

[tulip ice]

What’s the issue for calling? Appeal?

[wide vector]

I have a
orphan/ward of the court documentation and soemthing about homeless student confirmation thing

which I’m not either, I’m just independent

[strong monolith]

theyre not released throughout the day, its over about 20-30 minutes so the portal doesnt crash

[misty current]

unfortunately this is true

[wide vector]

the lady told me to literally send a letter saying “this is all the information I can provide” and supposedly that’ll fix the ongoing issue that’s been there for months

all of this for a chance to get rejected 💔

[iron bramble]

You’re right I have a fusc one

[strong monolith]

do you have a parody of our fight song

does your band have two platinum records

[tulip ice]

Ya usc financial aid be taking forever

[iron bramble]

Is your women’s basketball team ranked number 1

[tulip ice]

I’d say wait for decisions. Personally speaking usc financial aid is a pain in the ass

[strong monolith]

who lost to usc's wbb team twice

[tulip ice]

I called at least 7 times before committing

[iron bramble]

Who is still number 1

[tulip ice]

😭

[misty current]

that seeding was bs and you know it we literally won 2 out of 3

[wide vector]

yeah def thank u

[strong monolith]

who gaf

[iron bramble]

Juju

[iron bramble]

Cope

[strong monolith]

making fun of an injured player is low even for a bruin

anyways an SC is going to win the natty whether its socal or south carolina

[iron bramble]

Not making fun of an injured player bro 😭

Any basketball player cares about their team’s ranking

Also it sucks she’s a great player but acls happen so often she’ll get back and be amazing in a yr or a yr and a half

[strong monolith]

its annoying asf

last time we had a season like this we won the natty

[iron bramble]

Welcome to basketball

[left bridge]

Good thing usc doesnt waitlist

[median chasm]

do they really not?

do they just send out a lot more acceptances than other schools then in case kids dont accept

[left bridge]

They send out spring semester acceptances

[scarlet matrix]

i love usc

and i hate uc la

[tribal crag]

good

[brazen flower]

ucla = university of communitycollege (lame af)

[scarlet matrix]

let her cope lmaooo

usc wbb > Ucla wbb by far

[iron bramble]

That’s ucc king

[scarlet matrix]

even when we lost (by a much closer margfin than any of their 2 losses), juju put down more points than anyone on theey eam

ucla wbb not anywhere as close

[brazen flower]

community college is one word for today

[iron bramble]

We’re winning natty

[scarlet matrix]

☠️ no youre not

[frank coral]

day 2 of hating on usc

[iron bramble]

Just wait and see!

[iron bramble]

Did you officially get an offer btw

[scarlet matrix]

yes

[iron bramble]

CONGRATSSSS

That’s AMAZING!!

[scarlet matrix]

ty gang

[ashen swan]

[oak lichen]

[strong monolith]

lmu would make sense because it’s in la

[iron bramble]

Northeastern la in the making

[strong monolith]

this is just a random banner for the college of computer science for a school in boston

[strong monolith]

they do tend to absorb schools in financial crisis

[iron bramble]

Which are w predicting

[strong monolith]

[iron bramble]

Which is the future neu la campus

[strong monolith]

[iron bramble]

Yeah ours is about this

[strong monolith]

[iron bramble]

USC cooked

[strong monolith]

the administration is so fucking stupid

sony literally warned them several times “if you keep using our songs without permission we will take you to court” and what did they fucking do

[elder rapids]

[strong monolith]

yield protection is not a thing

[elder rapids]

oh

[strong monolith]

late afternoon pst

[flat shale]

It is but not for USC

Like only for some mid schools

[iron bramble]

USC silly they should have taken those warnings seriously

it was coined by a bunch of people who were pissed that tufts strongly considered demonstrated interest lol

late afternoon

[elder rapids]

whats the acceptance rate off of defered ppl

compared to

regulars

[strong monolith]

[iron bramble]

I didn’t do anything after ea last yr

And got in rd

[barren dagger]

[misty current]

yeah there is no wl here

but i was spring admit

[candid marsh]

What's that

[azure dragon]

i wont mind spring admit at all

[frank coral]

i hope you get out of the waitlist for nyu 🙏

[misty current]

which ig kinda counts

[azure dragon]

thank you 🙏

[rain whale]

me either

[misty current]

do fall abroad or at cc then come to campus in spring and the credits transfer

[azure dragon]

im just gonna do cc at my local cc

[oak lichen]

do u graduate later or same time then

[smoky mist]

same lmfao

[candid marsh]

Oh, must not be for intl then?

[misty current]

fwiw the only reason i can graduate early is bc i was spring adm

[azure dragon]

u can take gen eds at cc so same time or even early

[misty current]

my roommate from Bangkok was also spring admit idk how they determine it

[frank coral]

spring admit is actually fire compared to fall admit

you save extra money

[candid marsh]

Oh but then he did community college in the US?

[azure dragon]

yea

id love i

[misty current]

yep

[azure dragon]

it

[hallow lynx]

at this point i’m hoping for spring admit

[rain whale]

i love that usc, columbia, and fiu of all schools is whats left for me

[azure dragon]

extra long spring break and easy cc classes

[misty current]

some thai school idk

[rain whale]

me too

I'll gladly take that

[candid marsh]

Oh ok thank you

[flat shale]

lmfao i got rejected from nyu and i didn’t even know i was applying

[hallow lynx]

[misty current]

ttp is gone

[candid marsh]

Is USC any of you guys' top choice?

[unique lantern]

top for the schools i have left

[rain whale]

it is now

[unique lantern]

yes

[misty current]

me 2 yrs ago

[tribal crag]

yes but only if they give me scholarship

[hallow lynx]

ab to take the nap of the CENTURY

[misty current]

i do not have the best memories from college apps szn

[rain whale]

its also my only option

[candid marsh]

So real

[hallow lynx]

hopefully it’s out by the time i wake up

[rain whale]

out of state

[misty current]

oos no diff tho

private school

[hallow lynx]

did you not apply to any safeties

[rain whale]

usf accepted but no aid, fiu would accept but I'm not getting aid

my local and state school accepted but both r mid

[frank coral]

wait usf like the catholic one

[misty current]

south florida i would guess

[rain whale]

like south florida

[misty current]

ye

[frank coral]

oh fuck i thought university of san francisco the catholic one not university of south florida

[misty current]

very few people outside of ca would apply to the dons

[frank coral]

i'd expect that unless if they really like san francisco that much

[hallow lynx]

my state school is good but not for my major

[misty current]

well the thing is there is berk right

and stanford scu

scu is also a jesuit school anyway and it's so much better

[frank coral]

fr i'd agree but i hate their campus

and the area around it

[rain whale]

would literally sell my soul for usc

[hallow lynx]

is scu santa clara

[misty current]

yes santa clara u

i dig the campus but not the area

nothing to do in sj

[frank coral]

well in that area of san jose 😭

[hallow lynx]

i almost applied but figured it’s usc or nothing ‼️

[misty current]

it was the first school i got into tho

like in december

so that was cool

[digital bear]

After that ucla wl yeah

[misty current]

fuck ucla

[hallow lynx]

okay usc transfer rate is 24% maybe i’ll just try again next year 😓

already opened my transfer application portal i may be cooked

[misty current]

i would only do it if ur doing cc

[frank coral]

💔

[digital bear]

ong

[misty current]

bc the uc/csu --> usc rate is quite low

and ideally at some "feeder" like smc

[frank coral]

alright day 2 of hating on usc

[hallow lynx]

what ab from just a completely different university like oos

[digital bear]

would it be sigma to transfer to ucla from usc to experience both schools

[digital bear]

decisions aint even out

Didnt you already pay ur deposit for ucla

[frank coral]

yeah 😭

[misty current]

yes

[frank coral]

ucla was my first choice i thought i'd get into usc but they spat on my ea app

[hallow lynx]

ok could be worse!!

[misty current]

but if you grad from one and do postgrad at the other its quite common actually

they call em truins

[frank coral]

i thought i'd be rejected ucla and accepted usc

[digital bear]

I thought id be rejected both ngl

[misty current]

k i need to actually study

all 4 of my classes put their midterms the week after break

see you all at 3 or somethin

[frank coral]

absolutely evil

[opal frigate]

Around 49 mins before the first wave I’m guessing?

[frank coral]

good luck on your studies

[misty current]

likewise

[frank coral]

more like exactly 49 minutes 😭

probably

now 48

[azure dragon]

[rain whale]

[steady pier]

yale and tufts acceptance, nyu rejection, bu waitlist

[frank coral]

[steady pier]

[azure dragon]

kinda complete opposite for me LOL

[rain whale]

if you got in anywhere cool I'm going out for a walk

[novel echo]

i got deferred at 4:05 pm (idk abt daylight savings)

[digital bear]

I got into this one

[azure dragon]

BU acceptance, tufts rejection, NYU WL

[steady pier]

damn LMAO

[rain whale]

right, fuck

[steady pier]

the tufts acceptance rlly confused me

[azure dragon]

acceptances r so fucking random

[steady pier]

like how did i get in to THE YIELD PROTECTION SCHOOL but waitlisted from BU

lol

[azure dragon]

q u i r k y

😭

[rain whale]

real shit

rejected from fsu was wild

[steady pier]

maybe i’m just quirky and i only get into quirky schools

yale is pretty quirky ngl

[azure dragon]

ik ppl say decisions r random but i didnt think they were THIS random

[hallow lynx]

trying to really love my gt acceptance bc usc is not ab to let me in

[final steppe]

i lit saw someone’s Insta bio say that 💀💀

[strong monolith]

schools normally remove unnecessary aspects of the portal when preparing to release decisions so it doesnt crash

it doesnt mean anything

[rain whale]

its weird they didn't get everyone, but yeah it don't mean nun

still crashing out regardless

cuz my ass not getting in

[strong monolith]

guys please

no portal speculation

decisions are literally coming in like 30min

[rain whale]

not speculating, just stating a fact

[rain whale]

fr??

thought it was 7pm et

[strong monolith]

#1268237325754699899 message

[rain whale]

that don't got a time on it

[strong monolith]

they dont say a specific time because they roll out decisions so the portal doesnt crash

[rain whale]

oh

weird

[strong monolith]

i mean not really

[steady pier]

EA came out 6:45 so that’s what i am expecting

[strong monolith]

when you have almost 100k applicants you cant have them all opening the portal at one time

[rain whale]

i got pinged

who

[strong monolith]

last year RD started dropping at 3pm pst

it was internationals first iirc

then east coast

[steady pier]

ah

[strong monolith]

im from the east coast and i got my decision at around 6:05-6:10

but yea youll get an email

[hallow lynx]

i keep compulsively checking my email

[vagrant badge]

Me

Check ur dms

[rain whale]

what

[steady pier]

i don’t think i got an email

[hallow lynx]

i clearly need to touch grass

[vagrant badge]

Dms

[steady pier]

probably bc i had the portal open

[strong monolith]

please ping me when you do get a decision so we can ping everyone and start a poll

[glossy atlas]

O

[zealous wigeon]

when does this one come out

[wispy ridge]

is it coming out in 20 mins or an hr and 20

[candid marsh]

within the next 2ish hours. we dont know the exact time

[strong monolith]

its rolling so there isnt an exact time but last year it dropped around 3pm pst and we have confirmation from admissions that all decisions will be out by 5pm pst

[scarlet matrix]

do EA and RD run at similar times? maybe look to EA time

[candid marsh]

i think ea was around 4, but it may vary considering rd is rolling

[elder rapids]

if i get it later does that mena anything abt the decision?

[strong monolith]

no

[opal frigate]

It’ll come out between 3-5

[strong monolith]

its geographically

[elder rapids]

phh

which region first?

im socal

[strong monolith]

international iirc

[opal frigate]

Is it?

[strong monolith]

last year it was international > east coast > midwest > west coast

[candid marsh]

wow

[elder rapids]

smhh

[humble wasp]

lowk need 2 prefire that appeal

[opal frigate]

EA I got it first I’m in west coast

[misty current]

sounds about right w my year

[opal frigate]

Maybe changed?

[misty current]

(year before last)

i got mine almost 3:30 2 yrs ago

[strong monolith]

mine last year was around 3:05 - 3:10 pst

[dire pecan]

ts better come out at 6

[elder rapids]

what region were u

[strong monolith]

east coast

[elder rapids]

oh

[tranquil spoke]

so around 3 pm pst?

[magic remnant]

what happens if you apply to two schools, they come out separate time?

[red idol]

You withdraw from both

[strong monolith]

wdym

[magic remnant]

I applied to both sca and roski

[tranquil spoke]

alr vandy out

so now USC is left

[misty current]

why would they get different decisions

you would get in one or the other

[near apex]

is usc worth 100k a year?

[smoky mist]

same

[warped bramble]

Depends

[magic remnant]

i talked to admission officer before , you can get accepted both, rejected by both or accepted by one.

[steady pier]

if ur parents are paying for college comfortably then yes

[misty current]

probably not

[strong monolith]

do you mean you had one as a second choice?

[steady pier]

if not then probably not

[flat shale]

Is it worth 58k a year

[misty current]

no you had to have had one as a second choice you're only going to get in one

[flat shale]

That's like not bad right

[misty current]

at least from my understanding

[warped bramble]

Wdym

[scarlet matrix]

Probably a backup major to a program

[steady pier]

if ur parents are paying for college comfortably then yes

[elder compass]

if i get admitted it's worth every penny

[misty current]

i'd say depends on major

[iron bramble]

U S C !

[oak lichen]

is it 3pm pst

[flat shale]

Chem e

[misty current]

worth

imo

[smoky mist]

for internationals I think

[steady pier]

it’s in waves

[misty current]

viterbi prob worth depending on what else you got

[smoky mist]

int then east cost right

[scarlet matrix]

2 minutes good luck guys !

[flat shale]

Only bum ass schools

[worthy socket]

Do we have a tineframe

[flat shale]

College admissions sucks

[magic remnant]

this is what she said "Yes, you will be considered for both programs simultaneously. You can potentially be admitted to one, both, or neither. In the event both academic departments want you, you will be accepted to your first-choice major. If you are not accepted to your first-choice major, it is still possible to be accepted to your second-choice major."

[steady pier]

from 6 to 7

[flat shale]

Everywhere rejecting me

[strong monolith]

wdym

[flat shale]

So I'm probably going here which I'm ok with but

[worthy socket]

Est?

[untold umbra]

no pst

[worthy socket]

Ah ok

[strong monolith]

yeah so you applied to one as your second choice

[warped bramble]

Vit

[strong monolith]

all schools release decisions at the same time but you wont get two separate decisions

[smoky forge]

gl yall we're getting in 🙏

[mild otter]

[rain whale]

name change is so real

[smoky mist]

nicee

[elder rapids]

i bet its like
broke cant afford server space

[tranquil spoke]

bro like cmon intls represent the least amount of applicants

[sturdy cradle]

LMAO yeah

[solid citrus]

one more minuteeeee

[sturdy cradle]

no more nyu i fear

[misty current]

likely bc they have the most californians and they dont want all of them on at the start bc everyone will be on the portal at 3

so they make them wait

[rain whale]

me too lmao

[tranquil spoke]

alr someone check

[brazen flower]

i bet it's probably because californians are the earliest time zones so they're just now getting out of school

[strong monolith]

because they get almost 100k applicants a year and the portal will crash

[wild abyss]

I’m east coast still haven’t gotten it

[opal slate]

USC ACCEPTED

[lusty pivot]

Admitted fall !
