Accepted after interview via informal email from a person I interviewed with. Weird, because the program doesn't fit my interests very well and both of my other interviews went pretty uneventfully. Still, cool!

I applied for fall admission but was accepted for the spring. The waiting period was very frustrating. I submitted my application on 1/31. I applied to 9 other schools and was required to accept or decline all of my other offers of admission by 4/15. It wasn't until a month later that I heard from USC. There was no communication from the school during that period regarding when I could expect a decision, so I could not have even considered this offer. I was admitted to other highly ranked programs, including Berkeley and Cornell, so I would not have accepted anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
