Still nothing. I’m so beyond stressed I don’t know what to expect at this point.
@anthofu Big congratulations to you, that is amazing!
@anthofu Was the F in the Spring Semester? Congratulations!!
I’m just getting so frustrated they keep dragging this out so long. I keep refreshing as if it’s going to come out today when truly we all know it’ll probably be the end of this week with the way things have been going. But I keep hoping.
@transferusc88 Yeah, it definitely sucks…but let’s hope something comes out tomorrow! Sometimes no news, is good news. We’re still in the running. We haven’t been taken out yet!
I hate to be a pessimist here, but does anyone worry that all of us still waiting are going to be rejected? I have no idea why we are waiting so long, and I still hope and pray that we all get good news soon, but it’s hard to not be pessimistic after more than 5 months of waiting.
@seahawksjoe I’ve been thinking the same thing unfortunately. You’re not alone with that. I hope that’s not the case of course but yeah, after waiting for so long the hope is starting to fade away. I hate to say it. I keep trying my best to stay positive, but it is getting hard.
Well, time to start writing the usc essays again for next years cycle lol
It absolutely is. I probably shouldn’t keep telling myself this, but I just think that if they really wanted me, I would’ve been accepted by now. A lot of my negativity is probably coming from the fact that I was rejected by all of the other 7 schools I applied to, and that definitely doesn’t help!
A handful of people with SGR got accepted last year at around this time so there’s still hope!
@seahawksjoe I keep thinking that too, but then I also keep reversing it and thinking; “If they really didn’t want me, wouldn’t they have rejected me by now? Why hang onto me and make me wait if they truly weren’t interested?”
So hang onto that. That’s what I’ve been trying to think so then I won’t get so stressed about all of this.
Hey guys let’s stay positive, my dad is super connected and says don’t worry usc is always trying to forecast the yield this late in the process…let’s stay calm and fight on ! This could also easily go into next week
Honestly hope it doesn’t go into next week. Kind of ridiculous for some people to wait almost half a year for a decision
My SGR just vanished from my portal. Did that happen to anyone else? Does that mean anything?
@Trojan4u1001 Not sure what that means, mine is still there. I think this has happened before to another person on this thread, but maybe give USC a call tomorrow if you’re worried. I don’t think it’s too big of a deal, but I understand your attention brought to it for sure.
@Trojan4u1001 mine disappeared too once I submitted it about 3 weeks ago. I called the office and it means they received it. There was a person who asked this way back in may in this thread and he ended up getting accepted. But I think it’s just coincidence
Thank you guys! Hopefully we can all get the good news by the end of this week!
I have good feeling about you guys…stay strong, I really believe there is a place for you at USC! The 11th and 12th were big days last year - which was a Wed & Thurs, so let’s hope for some big results tomorrow.
For spring admits, just so ya know, you are eligible to get student USC football tickets for the fall if you are in the area for games…they start selling on line soon and can be bought for a few weeks. The system should recognize your id, but if not, call Call (213) 740-GOSC. Press 1 (sometime info for spring admits is harder to find online). They will ask for your id# and can help you. For fall admits, you get an email after orientation to register for account to buy tickets. Or you can check online for more info.
I’m still waiting for my decision but I’ve been on the fence about informing my admissions counselor regarding other circumstances that affected my grades. I had a lot of family problems and my mental health had deteriorated rapidly as the year progressed- I was actually diagnosed with a disorder and put on meds within a span of 3 months and the adjustment period for the meds were pretty agonizing. My mental health professionals were also really close to having me hospitalized and I can get documentation from 2 of the professionals that treated me as proof of all this.
I didn’t want to email her about all of this because I felt like it would seem too much as an excuse. I received all A’s in my classes other than Chem and Chem Lab. Chem was a C for first two quarters but I brought it up to a B for spring and Chem Lab was a consistent B. I’m coming from a mid-top tier UC and I also take a lot of classes (6 every quarter) so I’m junior standing. I don’t know if I should inform her of all of this now- the wait is killing me- because it seems really late and like a last-ditch effort. But it definitely affected my performance in my classes and I had to work a lot harder to push through everything to do well in my classes.
Is it even worth it to email her about my circumstances now?
@poolsideconvo78 @transferusc88 . Thank you! Best wishes for your admissions decision. I got an F during my first quarter of cc. It was during the summer so I was able to show an upward gpa trend for the remaining 3 quarters. I also wrote an explanation for the F. I guess they saw past it and accepted me.
