Those idiots literally made me make a yousc account just to see a rejection. Why don't they send it through email?

Ellegible for acceptance, but I did not apply for scholarships (outside USC) because I had really strong panic atacks during this process. For anyone reading this in the near future, I know it's hard, but don't let yourself feel that your value depends on this, you are great, and negative thoughts may impact your application. Get up every morning and tell something nice to yourself, you are always more than an application.

3rd gen IIT (8.5+ CGPA), 324 in GRE. Decent to strong LoRs. Quite personalized SoP with labs and clubs with whom I would like to work. No pubs but 9 months of part-time research experience in ML applications. 6 months of ongoing work exp at an MNC at the time of applying. Looks like they only want 9+ CGPA, but I maybe wrong. Congrats to all the admits! Rejects: don't worry, there's another door of opportunity waiting!

Math undergrad w/ internship + research experience in data science.

In terms of admission process, I think USC is the worst case for me. Very slow for decision. Although it is not a problem for me to receive the rejection letter, I believe it is not reasonable not to frequently communicate with the applicants in these nervous process. I hope the program would make the process more fast and frequent communication.
