To the posters who asked about admit decision, I asked the staff, and they replied that "Most admit decisions will be made by the end of May. Unfortunately, it is not possible to say when a specific application will be reviewed." So I think it's still not the end of the world.

Applied to the PhD program; got a call last week that there were too many qualified candidates who already had MAs (I only have my BA), but that the faculty wanted to offer me a place in the MA cohort. Today, received an official letter and a preliminary offer of 4 renewable semesters of TA-ship that covers all tuition and provides a $5,500 stipend each semester. I ain't mad!

To the poster below, I haven't heard back from USC. Where do you check your application status? Is it just on the application portal or is there an actual decision status page?
