Graduate School Admission Results

Not much to add right. Waitlisting students to fill up Fall 2020 spots (not going to reopen this year anyway) but I guess they're playing those kind of games to keep the cash flow steady. Heads off to the admission committee and the accounting department for plotting this. Nevertheless, congratulations to the ones accepted and I hope everyone else has a plan B :) Best of luck!

They took 7 months to reject!

After 6 long months of nothing, got the rejection today. Never going to apply to this university nor recommend it to anyone as a first priority

You guys are lucky that you got a decision, doesn't matter if it was a rejection. I'm still waiting for the motherfuckers to give me a decision. I have emailed them twice in the last three days but they don't care to reply. Any ways, if the wait-listed admits can't update the term or defer their admission than an admit is just as useless as a rejection. All admits should write aggressive emails to usc and demand your right to defer in these covid hit times. Find emails of the dean or the any one on the admission committee post them here so everyone can email them. Hopefully if you all exert enough pressure you guys maybe able to defer your admission

+1 fu** you USC. It took you 6 months to reject an application. Hats off to the hard work by your admission committee.

Fuck you usc! So mean you people i have better uni than yours

Here's a conundrum for you guys. Same university but two people speaking different things. I talked about the term update to uni staff through unibuddy. They said you can't do it. But I received email to my admitted student query that I can. Before you guys panic I want you guys to know that you should make an informed decision. I am going to believe to the reply of the email I got. Because this time is very difficult for everyone and I don't think the university will do such injustice to students they accepted. Though I was impressed by the online fall 2020 option. Before you guys decide, please make an informed decision.

TTPB. Did the staff say it applies only to international student? Are there any domestic applicant who received their result??

To the CS in Data Science below. Can you please tell me whom did you ask? Which email id?

To all international students who have received admits to USC AFTER being waitlisted, regardless of your program -- CS, EE, whatever -- you CANNOT defer to Fall 21 or Spring 21. The only option you have is to choose between Fall 20 in-person or online. And know this, they did this to fill Fall 20 seats as most Fall 20 admits have deferred to next year. Yes they dealt absolutely shitty, and fucking selfish cards, but that shows who they are. I hope you have learnt your lesson, and not apply here next year. They don't deserve another chance, and certainly not your money. Fuck you USC. All of my respect for this "great college" has turned to ashes.

TTPB: It is true. I messaged them on unibuddy. They have confirmed that the admit doesn't involves the option of deferral so that's true...fall 2020 admitted students can't defer. At this point they have tied our hands. They have played an evil card. At this point I have accepted. They just want to fill their seats. USC is bs. I can't believe they want me to attend fall 2020 on campus given the current Covid 19 situation in just one month. For international students online is not at all the option given they didn'tapply for this. It's official they played dirty.

TTPB - Seriously? Holy shit. What email id did you mail to? If this is true, it's terrible news

Finally got the result. I contacted USC about updating(defer) my admission for Fall 2021 and they replied saying that people who were waitlisted don't get to defer and that we need to reapply if we want to be considered for Fall 2021. I am not sure what decision I will make.

TTPB. No not yet. I'll post their response once I get a reply

TTPB : Hey did they reply anything on your mail? I still don't have any notifications :(
