<p>so i was stuck at “being reviewed” until a while ago and it is stuck at the forwarded one.</p>
<p>i live in the midwest so it could just be taking a while for a letter to get here.</p>
<p>but in all honestly, should i stop checking the mail?</p>
<p>SAT: 2000
ACT: 30 (but it said 29 on my application but the sent scores said 30. i actually got a 30)
they are a little lower then usual applicants, but i have awesome recs, essays, sports, and service.</p>
<p>i wont be super bummed since i got into university of michigan.</p>
<p>should i give up hope?</p>
<p>(sorry if there is a thread already discussing this.)</p>
<p>dude. the wave schedules are different this year than previous years. In addition, there is a record number of applicants.
Statuses don’t mean acceptance/rejection, they just track where you app currently is.
as like I to say “don’t stop believin!”</p>
<p>We are from the Midwest, so I like to add my 2 cents…</p>
<p>First of all, I do not think it is over, though I have no insight info. The rule of engagement is, it is not over until it is over. The USPS may just take some time to reach to the heart land of America. </p>
<p>Secondly, USC is a great school (my son also applied), and so is U of Michigan. In the next week, many students will receive some sorts of rejections from some schools, it is perfectly fine as you can only attend one school (lol). If for whatever reason you are rejected by USC, and USC is still your # 1 choice for college, then work hard and try to transfer to USC, or go to graduate school at USC. Many roads lead to Rome and a bend in the road is NOT the end of a road. </p>
<p>Never ever stop believing in yourself… Good luck!</p>
<p>midwestDad2 - I am a West Coast mom and I applaud your post of encouragement to these highly qualified applicants. They need to remember they are already so successful - to have positioned themselves to be able to have such a strong list of choices to apply to. As you say, a bend in the road is not the end of the road! Good luck to all of the students and we parents are proud of you - I find much satisfaction in seeing this segment of students and their high goals. You are tomorrows leaders and researchers and problem solvers. How lucky are we!</p>
