FYI. Emailed last week about application status given interview is this week, assuming I was getting rejected, but they sent the following: Thank you for your interest in USC. Faculty are currently reviewing applications and may reach out to students up to April via phone, email, skype and in-person. Some students may be invited for an in-person interview in January, but faculty will reach out to prospective students even afterwards. We do send denial letters once faculty in each area have made their final decisions. Let me know if you have any further questions.
