Anyone in the Waitlist for Annenberg PhD USC hear back from the school?

Thank you, USC!

Admitted with 1/3 tuition merit scholarship

Received an email to check my decision status at 1am. No GRE. 1 year of volunteer experience, various relevant work experience, 3 letters of recommendation, BA in psychology and sociology.

2 years experience as software engineer at a major defense contractor. Various systems engineering diagramming and planning experience. Guess my GPA was too low.

Got an informal acceptance first, then official

Was interviewed in February. Offer with full funding.

Yay!! My #1 program! God is good! Beautiful Fellowship and generous stipend! Very, fortunate!

Received an email with decision. No GRE, URM, great LORs, undergraduate research experience in the IR field. Intermediate in a 2nd language in my area of study and conversational in a 3rd language. 3A/1W/0R/9P

32.5k with no teaching obligations in years 1 and 5. Very happy :)

Email to check website. Makes no sense. Oh well, what can ya do. Doesn't matter, I got full funding at another school for a PhD which aligns better with my research anyway. Congratulations to all those who were admitted!
