Has anyone seen their USConnect status change?

Neither of my kids interviewed at USC or at another site prior to being offered a scholarship interview invite. I think USC goes after the kids they select for merit without regards to final yield numbers-- they have a set yield they predict from this group of 1,000. Both spent time and effort on their applications and did their homework regarding the majors they were interested in at USC. Both went to USC presentations at their high schools.

It also does not make sense that they yield protect March acceptances either-- certainly if they did so their yield would be much higher than it is. Again, they go after the students they want-- this doesn’t mean the highest test scorers necessarily though.
