Recently got this email from their side after 7 days. - We have completed our academic evaluation of your application and notified your intended graduate department. Because of the varied factors involved in the graduate department review process, we cannot give you an estimate of when you might expect the decision. |

The graduate school lost my application and department staff ignored my repeated email queries about it. They didn't respond until it was way past the deadline and weeks after the USC accept and reject decisions stopped showing up on the grad cafe. Then I got a reject in the mail a week later. It's not like I am a top gun but I still have this sad, bitter feeling inside that this decision might have been influenced by staff's incompetent handling of my application. I have found at least a half a dozen USC applicants from various fields who received a similar treatment (lost transcripts, applications, etc). So beware when applying there. Better save your time and money for more professional universities. |

TTPB: How were you notified waitlisted? Did you get an email or asked them in person? There seems no process going on my application. Is this the 'If you haven't heard of anything from committees by now, your application haven't been considered' things? |

To the person who was accepted; I still haven't heard a word. Called the office and they said that decisions would be out by April 1st. Do you know anyone else who was accepted or rejected? |

PhD visit day happened in early March and they will not be taking any more candidates as far as I'm aware. Very selective class this time. Most, if not all, decisions were announced from last week of Jan to first week of Feb. |
