Always excited to see new posts on this thread. We are all rooting for you! Happy Thanksgiving and a special good luck wish with the USC app. The research and time you have put into your app season has been very impressive, along with your great attitude throughout the process. (And fun to follow along!) A college will be very lucky to have you as their student. Just look how far you have come and what you have done since you titled this thread and wrote that first post.
Ups and downs are a normal part of the college process - so stay strong! The finish line is in sight. I feel confident you will have choices that you are happy with and will end up just where you should be.
