@gamergal27 It would not open for me either in uscconnect. But I believe the same message was what I got through email. Did he get an email? The text of it is posted here somewhere.

@2018 Congratulations to your D, I would say it is equally impressive, there is a much smaller accept rate for scholarship interviews than the overall rates at HYPS. But you have higher stats and a self selecting pool at HYPS too…

@fall2016parent No, I didn’t and I did not visit either. The interview session near me was on a busy weekend and I didn’t want to spend the money to drive there and send the night. Same thing for visiting, why spend a considerable amount of money to fly across the country to visit when it could be used on tuition money and I would have had to go anyways if I got invited. That could be a possibility that I wasn’t invited because they thought I was using them as a safety…

I think the reason I didn’t get an interview was that I applied to the wrong majors, rushed my essays and my gpa is average for USC(~3.7UW even tho the rest of my stats are high). I submitted the common app like a month early with the WBB selected as my first choice major and chemE in viterbi program as my second choice which was flawed. They don’t really reflect in my ECs and the WBB program is super competitive. I would have selected Poli-sci in dornsife if I had to do it again. I waited until the day of the deadline to do my supplements and they were rushed. The WBB had like 4 supplement questions + the two for viterbi= 1500 words of writing in one day. That was my biggest mistake, I have really no one to blame other than myself. And to cap it off my ACT scores arrived like a week late.
