I applied to work with a faculty member from another department at USC, who notified me immediately before I received my offer letter. To my knowledge, not all offers have been extended, so you should receive an offer letter sometime this week! Best of luck, you'll do great!

GPA=grad. Surprised I didn't rejected honestly, but don't have high hopes of getting off the waitlist because 2/3 advisors I listed apparently aren't taking students. My top choice though so fingers crossed
