How does admissions view an applicant with 60 units completed by the end of spring vs an applicant with 30 units completed by the end of spring?
@TonyStark93 I mean, I don’t like admitting it, but we might be. Do you remember the deadline for last year? For some reason, I want to say it was June 6th, but I can’t recall for sure.
@marinersfan13 Yup, that could be a very good sign if you see a change in your stars within the next two days or so!
@FordhamRam95 I was hoping someone would know about this too.
@batmandarkone @zettasyntax That’s good to hear! I’ll be sure to check on my stars report over the next few days and try not to go insane in the process ~X(
@HappyLifeMachine Is there nothing on the portal? Last year, USC had a direct link to a Facebook page for new transfers.
@zettasyntax Thank you Zetta, found it. Thanks for all the help this past few weeks/months, you’ve been great in this thread. Still hoping you get an acceptance before June 1st!!
my restrictions date just changed today!!! what does this mean
@HappyLifeMachine No problem
I hope you have fun with CS at USC! 
I remember getting my rejection PDF at midnight last year, so I’m a bit nervous to check my portal in a couple of hours.
Fellow Viterbi applicant here. I haven’t received any information at all so far. Safe to assume I haven’t been accepted, just waiting for the official notice.
@plzuscplz It means try staying up tonight if you can, haha
In the best scenario, you’ll have your stars report filled out in the early morning hours and that means you’ve been accepted!
What time did it change, by the way?
@zettasyntax Oh my god… I’m so so so nervous. How early do you think they’ll update it? Like a little past midnight?
And my time changed to 4:19 pm today but I only checked now.
@plzuscplz I think it’s always happened after 1AM or so. Maybe it’s a better idea to get some sleep and check in the morning
Some guy even had it update at like 6AM the past year, so there can sometimes be a pretty wide range of time.
@zettasyntax Yeah maybe I’ll check when I wake up tomorrow… So if I did get in, it would be updated by tomorrow morning? And if not, it would mostly be a rejection right?
@plzuscplz By last year’s data, if the stars report wasn’t filled out within two whole days of the restrictions updating, it did typically mean rejection (as in my case). I’m pretty confident that you’ll wake up to nice yellow bars and circles in your stars interactive audit report though

@zettasyntax I don’t want to get my hopes up… but thanks that really makes me feel better
Also, I’m getting really paranoid. If USC requests for spring grades, they email you right?
@plzuscplz Some people don’t seem to be getting emails this year, but yeah, USC will let you know somehow (probably via the portal). However, I’m fairly sure that the restrictions don’t update with an SGR, so you’d most likely get a straight up decision.
@plzuscplz I got my SGR online first then via postal mail. I don’t think USC is sending emails regarding decisions.
@zettasyntax Okay yeah just making sure I didn’t mess up my acceptance somehow… Thanks so much for the help! BEST LUCK TO ALL OF US
@Shortstop3 Where exactly did they give you an SGR online? Through youSC or…
@plzuscplz on yousc. It updated on May 1st saying the requested my grades and on May 2nd they posted the pdf and I received the postal mail. I think it’s too late for an SGR at this point. They usually only send them to people with less than 30 units (me) and/or major pre reqs in progress (I took calc 2 in spring).
