Has anyone seen their USConnect status change?

I do think USC, like all schools, do take yield into factor. Yes, the most sought after will get notified everywhere…but beyond that, they must be thinking of possible matriculation. Last year thread indicated a lot of surprise acceptances and rejections. Talking to another parent this year, apparently acceptances this year are all over the place…the top kids from school “deferred” while somebody way down (and even with less EC) received notifications. It is what it is, the process is arbitrary to some extent. USC like many other schools does heavy marketing and students with the Stats may think they are shoo-in but they aren’t. The heartbreaking thing for some of these kids are when someone they know did not try as much as they did, got in early while they didn’t. Again…process is arbitrary unfortunately…
