Timeline of Waves

<p>Okay, here is my analysis werty.
Marshall and CLAS are busy reviewing the remaining applications. My status just changed from “fall grades” 2 days ago. It is quite possible that those 2 schools will quickly finish reviewing all applicants and send everything out together. Your status could mean that your decision has been made and only waiting to be sent out. Not necessary negative.</p>

<p>I hope you are right. :slight_smile: But, then I shouldn’t I have gone to reviewed this past week like everyone else and not still be stuck at forwarded?</p>

<p>I just found out about the fin aid link. I did not submit any docs through the link. My mom sent her tax return via an email. She received an email back saying that they were going off of FAFSA this year and didn’t need the tax returns. I assumed this was because I did not qualify for aid. Maybe they knew 3 weeks ago that I was not admitted, so they did not bother with the tax return.</p>

<p>Did you all use the fin aid link to submit docs? When, I click on it, nothing happens.</p>

<p>i heard a rumor that the “big wave” date is tomorrow. there’s been a few today, but i have a feeling it’s going to be tomorrow?
my thought is friday at the latest. otherwise spring admits monday/tuesday, then all rejections after that?</p>

<p>werty1992…Admissions and Financial Aid are two separate animals. Financial aid works out what they need and if they needed your taxes for any reason, they would have requested them. It is my understanding that they only asked for a few peoples taxes?? But I could be seriously wrong about that. They asked for mine and I don’t have a serious chance of getting in unless they decide that my contribution as a person to the student body is something they would like to see. My gpa is fine, but my SAT’s are ridiculously low. I have tons, and tons of EC’s, and community service (thousands of hours). </p>

<p>So, what I am saying is that I would be a huge chance/risk for them and I was asked for taxes, so you can see that it has no bearing on acceptance.</p>

<p>They must not need them to make a financial aid decision. Don’t worry…and good luck!!</p>

<p>Apparently some letters were sent on 3/23. Check the stats thread</p>

<p>We are all speculating…based on what we read here, switching back to reviewed would mean the package is being sent out. It is not the case here if they were to send everything together. What may happen is all of us will change to reviewed in a couple of days, I suspect.
I did apply for FA. They required 1040 of our family which I can see clicking the link. Did you actually apply for aid?</p>

<p>sent out on the 23rd like…postmarked on the 23rd? cause if so, then it looks like thursday is the day.</p>

<p>OK. I feel stupid. There is stuff in my fin aid link…</p>

<p>“Apparently some letters were sent on 3/23. Check the stats thread” </p>

<p>not enough people to call it a wave or fill a class. When the wave comes, you WILL know on cc.</p>

<p>yeah that’s what i was thinking…its like…a little ripple. not a wave ahah.</p>

<h2>exactly.</h2>

<p>ok…are all the Deans Scholarships out then? What if you were accepted to Annenberg a couple weeks ago and then got an invitation to apply for Thematic Honors program yesterday… does this mean anything?</p>

<p>Just called admissions and the person I spoke to said they were sending out letters every day this week. Hopefully we’ll all hear something soon.</p>

<p>yayyyyyyy :)</p>

<p>Calrules, that should be posted on all the threads! Congrats to new admits!</p>

<p>thanks for the information, calrules :]</p>

<p>OK. I am officially done going to the mailbox. I just received my 3rd big, white envelope this week and IT IS NOT FROM USC!! I have been forwarded since 3/13 without a status change, so I am preparing for the worst.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone!</p>

<p>haha got a big white envelope too, and not from USC today. Maybe tomorrow will yield results in some form. hopefully at least</p>

<p>same Fieralds. i saw a white envelope but it just turned out to be UCSB haha :|</p>

<p>I just received my acceptance today. Postmarked 3/24 and arrived this afternoon, I lived in socal… status changed to “forwarded” two days ago but it’s still forwarded…</p>
