To the person below asking about screen scoring (I am the person who posted their acceptance below on 3/27): I am just guessing but I suspect the scholarship recipients are the only ones who have been notified. If you want to be pessimistic it could be that they called all the admitted students to notify them, but I do think it was just scholarships. I had heard a rumor prior to my telephone notification that screen scoring was a little behind and notifications would go out via email (presumably instructing you to check you.usc for a decision) sometime between 3/31 and 4/7 but I have no way to be sure if that's true. The website still hasn't rendered a decision for me and I have not yet received an email or post from admissions. The only reason I know I was admitted is because I received the phone call. Good luck to you! |
