Any idea of how long this wave of acceptances will last? I haven't received anything yet, though I hope it will continue after this weekend. If I'm not mistaken I'm also noticing a trend of summer term acceptances coming first which is logical. Good luck everyone!

Ninth (and last) reject of the season! I'm impressed - last time, it took USC 2 months longer to tell me the same thing.

to the poster who commented after me, its better to contact Morgan Ponder via email. Emailed him twice about some issues with my app and he responded both times with a few hours. Also, yes everyone! This wait is a little stressful. I don't think they are in a hurry because I have made contact with some profs in the department as well and they gave no indication of a rush when i submitted a few things last minute...but the financial aid deadline has passed and relocating for some is going to be a pain if we dont find out soon
