University of Southern California Graduate School Admission Results

Got the waitlist email like everyone else. Withdrew application to accept offer from another top university. FYI, on the admitted student's webinar yesterday, this other university stated they are aware of the visa troubles especially for India, and are going to offer online option for the Fall semester for those who are not able to obtain a visa in time. For those still waiting on USC decision, I would reach out to their program and ask if USC is planning on providing such accommodation for their students as well. Hope this helps.

TTPB: no, wasn't on waitlist. received mail on friday about status update but the letter was available on monday. so for 3 days didn't know the actual decision

TTPB who got admit from USC, were you on waitlist prior to getting the admit.

ttpb: Congrats on your admit! did you receive any email on 14th an the decision was posted today?

Was frequently checking the website (a couple of times everyday) and this time there was a notification. Although the date says 14th May, the decision wasn't there yesterday. Best of luck everyone.

Did anyone hear from USC? I still did not get any news even though end of the May is coming.

TTPB: So this majority by June sounds so much similar to their update saying majority decisions by April end! What about finding roommates and housing (As I've seen many people have already booked their apartments). What about emergency visa slots? With the other admit I have, I'll be eligible to apply for that by 15th June and I am still not able to find a single slot for that purpose since 1 week. So, I'll even have to wait for the final i20 of USC. I submitted my financial documents but when I contacted them, they said they'll just add it to my application and once I get an admit, they'll take upto 2 weeks to verify them and after that a week to get an i20. While the people who already have USC's i20 will be eligible to apply for emergency slots by 10th June. DAMNNNN IT!!! With this reputation, the management really sucks there! This really shows how highly they regard the international students are willing to pay lakhs of rupees to study over there.

Contacted one of the viterbi officials today. He said they'll try and release majority of waitlist decisions by 1st june as and when people drop their seats. But they can even release the decisions in June and July as they've kept the deposit deadline as 2nd June. Tbh, narrow chances of admit and no point waiting more as the embassies aren't opening much visa slots since past 10 days. Hardly a few could get one slot and even the emergency slots would be affected.

Anyone else who did not get waitlisted and has no decision as yet? Does this mean a straight rejection? So frustrating.

TTPB: I also submitted my application on the last day. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm still waiting for my decision, but I will contact them if I don't hear anything by mid next week.

I applied the last day available in early April and have not heard anything, Should I email them? has anyone heard anything? that applied around the same time :(

Very disgraceful application process. Radio silence ever since I submitted the application. Not a single indication that they have started the review process. It all feels like a shell program that is there to scam people. The same goes to other programs under the same school. VERY DISHEARTENING.

TTPB: Hope you have better admits. Mind sharing your stats? GPA? I am still waitlisted.

Finally a result. Not a good one, but better than just waiting indefinitely. Specialization in Machine Learning and Data.

TTPB with DOB error: Congrats on getting in. Mind sharing stats for the hundreds of us waitlisted and nervous?

This is an update on my application which was not processed as the DoB was wrong. I received a notification on 11th May that my USC ID was created, and today (13th May) that I have received an offer and need to submit financial docs. Funny situation. They took 4 months to start reviewing and 2 days to review. Anyways, everyone who's still waiting please contact the office to ensure that your application has been reviewed at least. Good luck!
