<p>@scahopeful‌ Unfortunately I have not. My counselor confirmed that they have received my final transcripts (I was SGRed) but neither my Restrictions nor my SIAR have been updated at all. I have no idea what to think at this point. I got a B in Calculus (my first B in 4 semesters), so that isn’t exactly encouraging, but I’m doing my best to remain optimistic. Patience is not one of my virtues! </p>

<p>To all who are having trouble viewing their STARS and Interactive Report, try switching browsers. I was using chrome for the longest time, and was not able to see anything. However, after switching to safari, I was able to actually see both forms updated!</p>

5123

<p>Waiting for the taco (acceptance package) in the mail now. Hopefully it isn’t that long~</p>

<p>@Karlos‌ Thank you for giving us step by step instruction with pictures! It is greatly appreciated. What does it look like if your STARs report is starting to get filled out? Mine just says Prepared June 3, 2014 at whatever time. All it has is WRIT 140 and WRIT 150 in the Course Cart. :frowning: </p>

5128

<p>Very small chance that any appeals work out…Not worth the effort</p>

5129

<p>@spottedgiraffes‌ Not trying to be negative but prepare for the worse.</p>

5130

<p>Hey I’d rather say I did all I did to get in… So Appreal if u want. You have a zero percent chance if u don’t appeal</p>

5131

<p>@MarshallBound‌ Uncool, man. Let this forum be a place of positivity. @spottedgiraffes‌ has as good of a chance as any of the other people who haven’t heard back yet. </p>

5132

<p>@spottedgiraffe the prepared date is the day you first check it, so don’t worry about anything yet</p>

5133

<p>@MarshallBound‌ @dmdwelle‌ @xsayax‌ Haha. That makes a lot more sense. Today was the first day I checked it and the time makes sense to when I opened it. I don’t think they had time to look over anything yet. I just sent in my SGR last night. I’m just getting super antsy now. We’ll just have to wait and see. I can be a bit of a pessimist sometimes though so I will expect the worst X_X </p>

5134

<p>Does USC try and time the upload of an acceptance PDF with your acceptance package? The reason I am asking is because my counselor said they made my decision friday and I’m trying to think why they wouldn’t just upload my PDF on friday if it was a rejection.</p>

<p>( I am an SGR transfer) </p>

5135

<p>Very helpful post @Karlos
For the longest time, DS and I have been wondering about what you all have been talking about :stuck_out_tongue: Every time we looked on that page, it was white!</p>

<p>Did everyone have this in red bold?
ER02W: ???
–>ERROR: BQ03S: NO REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREE PROGRAM
STARS TERMINATED (SEE REASON ABOVE). CONTACT DEGREE PROGRESS. </p>

<p>Does it also mean anything if this IAR hasn’t been updated for a month? Btw, DS received an SGR last week and turned it in this past weekend.</p>

5136

<p>@anyabel , yeah, it isn’t exactly fair of them to give SGRs to applicants and then accept them without receiving spring grades anyways, but I believe they had a reason for it. I barely see anyone on this thread applying to Viterbi. It’s possible that they didn’t have enough applicants for Viterbi, and decided to just handpick and accept some people regardless of whether or not our spring grades were in. Plus, I was accepted, but with a condition (at least 3.0 GPA, and B or more in all of my math/science/engineering classes). So, I could’ve been rescinded still if I didn’t meet those stats. </p>

5137

<p>@FightOnUSC1‌ You are correct; they upload the PDF around the time that they expect the mailing to reach your mailbox. </p>

<p>@XFER14‌ The red message is completely normal, everyone has had it. That’s just what it looks like until you either get rejected or accepted. It doesn’t mean anything. The “Prepared” date of the IAR is simply that date that you first accessed the report. </p>

<p>@Lasting‌ FWIW I feel like I’ve seen quite a few Viterbi applicants on this thread. </p>

5138

<p>@dmdwelle thanks, I missed the explanation about the prepared date earlier!</p>

5139

<p>.</p>

<p>A tad worried/curious to know why my stars interactive report now has no courses. Previously it had two WRIT courses when i was SGR’d. My spring grades just got submitted and the restrictions date changed today and now I have no courses listed. Is this a bad sign? Any opinions on this? I had high grades so i hope it doesn’t mean anything :-S </p>
