2017 - 2018 USC Transfer

“Informed Delivery” only shows mails.
“My Usps” shows packages.

I got my admission package without getting any notification from USPS. Don’t panic just because of not receiving any notification!!

I don’t know if it matters, but the time that my package had the postage sticker created was 8pm. So it isn’t like they send the packages first thing in the day.

Also my package didn’t show up on my usps.

@brixnx I asked if they reviewed my application and if a decision has been made. I called the USC admissions office not Annenberg. But Annenberg also also told me that they mailed out their decisions yesterday. I just gave admissions my ID number and they looked up my file. They can’t tell you if you got accepted though. Try giving it a shot and calling them

Both my sister and cousin applied to Annenberg and both haven’t received anything yet.

@ashurikko I don’t want to get your hopes up because I could be completely wrong, but I’m almost certain they post rejections on the portal way before they send them out… I don’t have much info the back that up, just that I remember most people discovering their rejections on the portal last year rather than by mail… fingers crossed, good luck!

And I would really recommend completely disregarding USPS, especially since there’s only about a week left (if they go to 6/2). Even though I found out by portal, I didn’t get jack from USPS when my package came in the next day

@penntousc Thanks for the info :slight_smile: That made me worry a little less, and I’m going to delete the app as soon as I hear back haha

@ashurikko Are you in CA?

@jae2017 I’m from Virginia

@ashurikko Gotcha! I’m from CA.

I wonder how long it will take to receive a package/mail if it was sent yesterday…

Just got off the phone with admissions & they said that USC expected to have everything sent out by today & that i should keep checking my portal today. I was told that she could not see what my decision was, but she could see that a decision was made. Also, for out of state applicants, it will still be updated on your portal when it is sent out, not when you are expected to receive it. So, basically just keep checking your portal & hope for the best.

HAHA, this whole time I have been looking on the UPS website for packages when in reality it’s coming from USPS…

oh man I’m looking back at my application and thinking of all the things I should’ve changed :frowning: this wait is killing me… also anyone who applied to the UCs as well, did you guys SIR to any school jic or are you guys waiting it out as much as possible?

Program of Study
Your request for financial aid cannot be processed at this time because you are enrolled as a limited status (visiting) student, or the Program of Study in which you are enrolled does not qualify for federal or USC need-based financial aid. Federal and university need-based financial aid is available only to those students admitted to degree-granting or eligible certificate programs. You may be eligible for a private loan. Please visit our website for information about private financing options.

Please contact your academic department for more information. If you are admitted to a degree-granting or eligible certificate program, please notify the Financial Aid Office.

An exception may be granted if you are taking courses required for admission to a USC graduate degree-granting program. Please submit a written explanation to the Financial Aid Office. Include verification from your USC graduate academic advisor that your courses are required for admission.

Does anyone have an error like this on their financial aid application? I called them and they said I have to be enrolled full time to have financial aid whereas I am enrolled only part-time. This is very confusing since I am not enrolled at all…

So decisions are being mailed out today for all transfer students?

@jae2017 probably not until Tuesday because of Sunday and Memorial Day… I can’t take this wait anymore haha

I sent in my spring grades on Tuesday. How long do I have to wait until I get an admission decision? please don’t tell me I have to wait until July

@dnymrel I find it weird that they said check your portal today cause portal usually updates 3 days after receiving package.

@dnymrel when you called, was this regarding a specific college or for all transfer applicants?
