Applied for Fall 2017, admitted for Spring 2018 instead, so can confirm that people are receiving deferred acceptances. Happy with the result regardless and will accept.

USC Sucks big time. After sending them a lot of emails, they replied me today that they received my application and is under review. What the hell is this? Before this, they said that my file was hard to locate so I need to send them my USC-ID and my DOB. rnI really hate USC, I can't express in words how much I hate it. rnNow I don't know when I'm going to receive my decision. But this really hurts.rnUSC you have one of the worst management system in this whole planet.
