<p>Okay, but wouldn’t it look suspicious that we’re signing up before the letters are supposed to have arrived through the mail?</p>
<p>suspicious??? are you impersonating another student? did you hack into their USC acct? if not, then relax! you got in! sign up! if they did not want sign ups to begin yet ,then they would not have the Explore portal up and running. THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM.</p>
<p>I would wait until getting the official letter.</p>
<p>One or two days is not going to make a difference. It’s those who wait till the day before the sign up deadline who may get into trouble with a slot. I’d wait till I received the letter personally, which will probably be Monday.</p>
<p>My status changed very late to forwarded to committee for review. And then it changed back to the default status. I recieved my admissions letter yesterday in the mail from the 1/26 wave. I checked the scholarship site and nothing showed up. Does this mean i have not recieved a scholarship or are the updating each profile one at a time and some may not have recieved the change. Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Anyone know if candidates living overseas get to be exempt from this mandatory event?
And perhaps have a phone or online interview instead?</p>
<p>doesnt work for me</p>
<p>soadquake981–thanks for posting this. I received my package (through regular postal mail ha) and there was no mention of a scholarship and I was down. But then I checked the rsvp system and I got a presidential nomination! Now I can call em up and be like wssupp
