<p>S’s last name starts with A and applying to CLAS.</p>
<p>Not enough data points to determine alpha pull yet.</p>
<p>tals54, that is the status that most people have. a few people have an updated status which states that their application has been “forwarded to committee review.”</p>
<p>my last name is at the end of the alphabet…perhaps there is hope for me!</p>
<p>Last name G and applying to Annenberg</p>
<p>My last name starts with X… so not quite sure about the alphabetical thing.
I got the update early this morning, and I’m applying to Viterbi</p>
<p>Wouldn’t status changes indicate acceptances today for people in CA? But that didn’t happen.</p>
<p>No one knows…merely trying to guess what’s happening now in the process</p>
<p>Well, we have no idea what the status changes mean; this is all speculation. As for the acceptance letters, those go out in snail-mail, and last year, they were post-marked on 1/23. So the earliest that the CA people can receive admission would be Monday (1/25). I live on the east coast >.<, so i dont expect anything for awhile.</p>
<p>D’s status changed and then changed back to old status - no scholarship notification now</p>
<p>im not too worried about this status update, even though my stats are comparable to ones listed in the first post (i have a 4.5 gpa, 35 act, lots of extracurriculars, etc). i remember when i first applied it took several weeks for them to update my status after i submitted all required documents, so im guessing (and hoping) that itll take a few days for them to post the updated status for everyones theyre planning to change.</p>
<p>and even if that guess is wrong, theres absolutely no indication, much less a guarantee, that a status change has any special meaning or significance, so i wouldnt read into it too much</p>

Applying to Computer Science/Business dual degree for some reason…
Father is a USC alumnus, worked at USC Medical Center for 10+ years</p>
<p>should i just give up on HYPSM + Wharton now if i can’t even get a scholarship interview from USC?</p>
<p>Not having your status changed does not mean you won’t get reviewed for scholarships. It’s most likely all just a bunch of nonsense.</p>
<p>i know that… but there must be SOME reason why all these people’s statuses changed. plus, most of them have good stats too, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they were all admitted…
and i haven’t seen very many people with good stats who DON’T have the status change :[</p>
<p>I think there are plenty of good applicants that haven’t had status changes, and seriously Handlebars, yours is a very impressive application indeed. What are your EC’s like? Based on objective stats alone, it seems like you’d be pretty much guaranteed an interview.</p>
<p>I have the status changed with a 31 ACT and a 3.7 unweighted. My friend who attends the same school does not, yet she has a 35 ACT and a 3.9 with equal if not better ECs. So I think it really means nothing.</p>
<p>Did you apply to different schools within USC?</p>
