To the USC poster below, I am also wondering the same. They haven't mentioned any details about the last date to accept. Couldn't find anything relevant on Viterbi's website too. Though, one of my friend who also got an admit from USC, told me that the last date to submit the financial documents is 15 April - not sure how true that is. Maybe create an online group or something where we can discuss such things for the people admitted to Viterbi?

So excited! The email said it was a follow up to a phone call and voicemail, but I never received a voicemail (or had a missed call). The email was amazing and so personalized. 5 year package (3 year fellowship). Still in shock! 2a / 1r / 0p

Short list of 12, top five offered admission. Mostly just flattered I made it to the top 12 as I've gotten other offers I am weighing--but for those of you who definitely aren't accepting, do know that there is a wait list!
