<p>congrats to you too. yeah, i was getting a little worried. just a little though. haha.</p>
<p>yeah, I got an email this morning saying that USC UG admit is sending me a package by this Thursday. Does this mean it’s an acceptance package? my stat’s aren’t even that great…</p>
<p>You’re in Portland? Me too! What the heck… you got an email about a package? Where’s mine?! XD</p>
<p>portland…we go there for shopping everything during thanksgiving xDD</p>
<p>sorry I meant “every year” instead of “everything”</p>
<p>Are you from outside of Oregon? Either way, no sales tax is awesome.</p>
<p>Yep, right across the border…Wahington State =)</p>
<p>
That’s odd. I thought only the international applicants get the package by Fed Ex, while the domestic applicants get theirs by USPS (so no preceding email advice.)</p>
<p>He/she is actually an international applicant living in Portland. So yeah, US citizens probably won’t get any Fedex email.</p>
<p>Status Change: Yep, probably on the afternoon of 1/26
SAT: 2270 (superscored) or 2250 if they don’t superscore

<p>I am so insanely anxious for April… I hope this status change is a good sign.</p>

<p>Hey jony6789, were you accepted? I’ve never even heard of this “acted on” status. Mine was changed to “forwarded” about a week back, I suppose. I guess I’m part of the second wave of decisions.</p>
<p>Has anyone received a rejection letter yet, or do they wait until the end for that?</p>
<p>^Shumsheh i believe they wait on rejection letters from what I’ve heard on this site, I got my status changed to “forwarded” a week ago also, I think the “acted on” was received by some of the first wave applicants that ended up being accepted.</p>

<p>Cody2010-what did your status change to?</p>
<p>^ Cody, do you think you have anything else that may have made you stand out particularly? Not to be rude, just thought that these stats are not necessarily the strongest ones to get you a step ahead than the majority of the applicants. So I figured you must be amazing in some other way =D</p>
