Has anyone heard back (good or bad) from them? I just don't know what to expect at this point. I heard back from all of the other schools I applied to but not USC.

To the poster below: I guess. We all go the same email. What bothers me is the fact that Gabby's email id on the website is garc635@usc.edu but we received the mail from ggarcia@ee.usc.edu.

7 publications, working in 3 different countries (one was the biggest research institute in Europe). It seems they just check GPA and GRE scores!! For a PhD program, I would say this is just sucks! Had interview with prof and PhD students. I think I had more publication and scientific experiences comparing to their almost finishing PhD students :)
