Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB: I will drop an email to them, because I can't wait till November for new admit letter, only to learn that I didn't have this option at the first place. This would be fun to watch, because they have themselves emailed me the reply from the official email, attaching the link of updating. If this would be a mistake from their end, it would sucks to be me. I will definitely let you guys know how this unfolds. Seems like getting an admit is not just the end of misery from this University.

TTPB - The email I got on 2nd July mentioned the 2 options I listed below, but the website mentions 4 options (the fuckers didn't even mention on the website that these 4 options don't apply to everyone). I emailed viterbi.gradadmission@usc.edu and gradadm@usc.edu. This is the reply I got from the former today = "Thank you for your email. Because you were waitlisted, the five options to update does not apply to you. If you wish to be considered for the Spring 2021 or Fall 2021 term, you will need to reapply.".....If some waitlisted-->admit students are allowed an option to defer while some aren't, idk what to say, but this college is seriously, seriously fucked up and keeps money as its first priority, fucking playing with the careers of prospective students.

TTPB: Lol what the hell is wrong with them. Did you emailed them on viterbi.gradadmission@usc.edu for asking about the updation of term. Please confirm because if it might be the case I don't know what to presume. I definitely got the email reply telling me I can update. Can you please confirm, if this might be the case I need to confirm again. This would be a big blunder. I wonder how are they going to say me no when they already told me I can.

To the "Applied Data Science" poster below -- they gave you an option to defer to the next Fall?? Wtf, I got into CS (DS) on July 2nd after being waitlisted, and the only options I have are in-person or online Fall 20. I even confirmed this by dropping them a mail and they replied that yeah I have just 2 options.

TTPB: I got admitted for Fall 2020 after being waitlisted. There was a confusion whether they allow it or not. I drop the mail on official viterbi graduate email address. I received the reply that I can update my term within one year of my application and was given the term update form. My eligibility admission notification letter also doesn't mention any sort of thing that I cannot update my term. Given the current circumstances I don't think they will hold any student in such a tight spot, it just not make any sense. Still I am on my heels, I don't know when and where things will get messed up and backfire.

ttpb, i think that we should brace ourselves for the rejection. It's pretty much clear now. or maybe the're buying time until others who got admitted have to give a decision by the deadline which is 8th july. I dont know, lets just wait and see. Btw does anyone know if they're letting waitlisted admits to defer admission to next year? if not than even if it's a acceptance, it's no better than a rejection.

TTPB: Yep, even I got the same reply to wait for 48-72 hours. What is taking so much time I don't understand :(

I just heard back from USC regarding the query i sent by email about the status of my application. the emails says "Thank you for your email. Your file indicates that a decision has been issued on your application. Please note, it may take 48-72 hours for your decision to be available on youSC."

I am also the victim of this waitlist thing by USC. I had emailed the USC Grad Office to ask about the decision status but in response, after 4 days I received an email telling me to redirect my queries to viterbi.gradadmission@usc.edu or call on (213) 740-7755. So, I did that too and got an automatic reply stating "In observance of the Fourth of July holiday our office will close early on Thursday, July 2nd, and will reopen on Monday, July 6th." They left a small note too, "We have a small but hardworking staff that is replying to your message asap."

TTPB I mean most classes will be held online as the campus will remain closed

TTPB - What do you mean "won't reopen for the Fall"?

TTPB: As some EE applicant in another POST said, the school is trying to send out all final decisions by 8th of July. Technically, there is still a gleam of hope, but at this point we all know what the whole deal about those late notifications was, a selfish scheme. It is up to you to decide what to do with your offer, but I guess most of us won't be too inclined to pay that much for online classes (USC recently officially announced they are changing courses and are not going to reopen for this fall), especially if it is not even guaranteed that you will get on campus for Spring 2021 . 57k new cases in one day. This is not a second wave, it is just getting started.

TTPB. I applied to AI, General, Scientists and Engineers. Received results from none of them.

To everyone who is still waiting, what track did you apply for? I got rejected from track A.I. but have not heard back from the general one. You are supposed to get a decision for each program.

If only rejections were left, they would have already sent out the results. I think they are waiting for something (I don't know what). Aren't the statement of intent deadline over already? What would they be waiting for? Sooooooo unprofessional administration. They should have sent out another email saying that the decision process is taking longer than the date they promised in the waitlist email, so us applicants can a tleast know what's going on.

TTPB: I've been wait listed with no decision yet, but Happy Birthday!

TTPB: Glad to know that I'm not the only person that hasn't received any form of response. I haven't been rejected, nor waitlist, and I've also emailed them, with no response. Tomorrows my birthday, so maybe i'll get rejected on my birthday oof.

TTPB: I received my mail around 2:00 am L.A. TIME (PDT), stating that my decision is available on the youSC portal. It seems like they are only sending out rejections, cause I think its unlikely there will be another waitlist waiting for people to accept the non-deferral Fall 2020 option.

To the posters below. When did you receive your emails? What I really need right now is not an admission to the program, but a closure to my application. If I get in, good for me but I really want this stressful waiting period to be over.
