To the USC poster Below, Bro, I'm in the same boat... and I'm sure a lot of us are still waiting. I called them a couple of days ago and they informed me that we will be notified in May... but they didn't address my query at all... They didn't even let me inform them about which degree I was applying for, As soon as I mentioned that the call was regarding admissions they just said May. I asked if they could give a less vague answer but they said that they can't. I just spoke to a friend of mine who got an admit from the Electrical Department for Spring'17 and she informed me that the email says that the candidate should accept the offer by May 2nd. So, I'm guessing they'll get back to us only after that. May the odds be ever so in our favor. Good luck!
