<p>Yes. The first waves of decisions will be released by April 1st.</p>

1042

<p>I’ve allowed all pop ups, and I’ve tried using USConnect on different browsers. I’m not getting anything. It still looks exactly like my screen shot.</p>

1043

<p>Jeremy:</p>

<p>Any proof of that? Just seems a little bit early especially since April 1 is when all freshman applicants must be notified by.</p>

<p>Meech:</p>

<p>You’re application probably hasn’t been downloaded yet. Give it some more time and two more boxes will appear.</p>

1044

<p>Most of the freshmen are getting their decisions now…

<p>^ </p>

<p>I didn’t click the link but those must be the cream of the crop. The ones awarded full ride scholarships and what not.</p>

1046

<p>Yeah most decisions for transfer come out around May I think, unless you applied to Viterbi.</p>

<p>If you get an SGR it’ll be even longer…</p>

1047

<p>im sorry but HOW DO YOU LOG ON TO USC CONNECT. i go to the site and there is nothing where it says “request password” or anything. just a log in section. what is the actual website i should go on to?</p>

1048

<p>Do anyone know how the fee wavier works for USC? I clicked " Other Fee Wavier" for the payment type. Are we suppose to request one from USC or does it automatically request it through common app? I check the FAQ’s for USC and it just said to request one through the “Payments” for common app.</p>

1049

<p>@xkrystlex3, I think you have to personally request it yourself. Someone correct me if I’m wrong though.</p>

<p>CSS site will be down for maintenance at 9pm EST so finish quickly!</p>

1050

<p>@crown of the sea:</p>

<p>when do people people that applied to viterbi get their decisions then? </p>

<p>@xkrystlex3:
I think i read that you could ask your financial aid office to write some kind of later to USC. But I also think it will determine what you put on your FAFSA. That’s how i remember getting a fee waiver when i was in high school. But it could be different for transfers.</p>

1051

<p>People who applied to Viterbi got their responses starting in early April, not sure if it was right on April 1st though.</p>

<p>For example, I didn’t hear back until mid-June because I got a SGR</p>

1052

<p>ooo ok. Wow that’s pretty early. I hope they don’t ask for a SGR for me. That would be pretty cool to know know if your if you got in while your still in school. lol what engineering major are you? I applied for the computer science major.</p>

1053

<p>I’m not engineering, I’m in the Marshall school. I just knew that a lot of people got accepted really early since we had a list going on that listed who got accepted and when</p>

1054

<p>I really hope we all find out sooner since it will make the moving and preparation process so much easier. Even if I don’t get in, I’d like to just know sooner so I can commit to a specific program here…I have a feeling i’ll be getting the Spring Grade Request.</p>

1055

<p>Are SGRs a good sign?</p>

1056

<p>@DJpsu</p>

<p>What makes you say that? Do you have less than 30 units? I really hope I don’t get a spring grade request. I’ve taken on a super strenuous schedule this semester :/</p>

1057

<p>

Two ways to look at them:</p>

<h1>1: Applicant is on the fence. USC doesn’t want to deny them but they want to see your current grades to make a more informed decision.</h1>

<h1>2: (I believe the most common reason) Applicants with less than 30 semester credits usually get one since at the time of their application they will have only accumulated 1 semester’s worth of units.</h1>

1058

<p>@encgdr,</p>

<p>I’m not quite sure if it’s a good sign, but it shows that you still have a chance and they just want to see if you’re keeping up with schoolwork.</p>

<p>@Bandit,</p>

<p>I believe I have 31 transferrable credits, so I’m not too worried about the credits, but I’m just always pessimistic about this kind of stuff. I regret taking hard classes this semester, as well - mine’s like all reading and critical analysis intensive and it gets so tiring, burying my face into a book 24/7. I just want to get higher than a 3.5.</p>

1059

<p>My conclusion that the first wave of decisions will be released by April 1st is based on the fact that the transfer merit scholarship (around $10500) recipients will be notified by April 1st.</p>

1060

<p>^God, I would KILL for that money. My EFC is insanely high, so if I get in, it’ll be loan city for me -___-</p>
