What time are portal decisions released on Saturday?
@Nevets04 noon PST saturday
I’m not sure what all this chatter about “message history” and “scholarship letters being moved” or whatever means, but I do know that I received a letter in the mail this past Tuesday (2 days ago) saying that I’d been selected as a Trustee (full tuition) scholar. I don’t know if that information helps anyone here, but I hope so because I sense a lot of anxiety in this thread.
I highly doubt the message moved thing is true. its just another correlation-causation fallacy that makes everyone panic
.
@ngezus lol every time I’ve said something about it I’ve said that the possibility of a confounding variable is very high and that the sample size on this website is too small for an accurate analysis.
@abcninja congrats, wow! the chatter is all about the portal is whether your scholarship message was moved to message history or is in current messages? all accepted people say it is in their current messages.
@Vermont2016yikes oh haha okay well my admission decision letter is under “message history,” whereas my scholarship notification letter is under “current messages.”
It’s entirely possible it means something however.
Obviously everyone with it under current is hopeful the theory is true, while those with it under message history hope it’s not. The only way to tell is wait for tomorrow or Saturday. No need to get stressed over it
I hope they post decisions tonight at 12! They’ll probably won’t though, huh? Do you think they’ll announce it when they release them?
I live in NH so my letter will be recieved late. For me it shows the scholarship letter in message history and a current message blank. Does this mean something bc only a selective amount of people got it here on cc?
Hating how I live on the complete opposite side of the country in NJ. Highly doubtful I somehow get it tomorrow 
@tomatoes124 that is what I have and it appears nobody accepted for fall has this set up (solely from cc). Usually when you get accepted you don’t log back on to the thread, so the polling could be off. but thus far, that is the theory-may be a myth.
thanks @abcninja Congrats again!!!
Up until this point I’ve been a mere absorber of information here at CC, but this thread compelled me to create an account. I am also in San Diego waiting on news from USC (definitely one of my top choices, up there with UCSD and UCR), and I was compelled to create an account to tell all of the hardworking, stressed-out people that a rejection from USC is not the end of the world. I of course am not familiar with posters’ personal situation, but wherever you are and whatever schools you have put your time and effort and money into working towards, there will be a place for you. I don’t mean to devalue the experience and joy of getting into/attending a school of your dreams, I only want to calm nerves and sooth hearts with a reminder that no school can tell you how much you are worth.
[ Note: UCR = cheap, so no judging 
]
Update. Yesterday I spilled the smoothie all over my car, today I accidentally spilled gasoline all over my leggings and shoes. Bonus, I only almost threw up today. My scholarship info has been moved to old history so I probably didn’t get in.
I’ve worked so hard. I’ve been a Girl Scout since I was six and I collected handmade blankets for two-hundred sixty-seven kids in the ICU because I hated how miserable my own experience was there for my Gold Project. I formed my school’s LGBTQ Alliance and created a safe pace for a group of students to accept themselves and find comfort in one another, and I worked with my school board to change my district’s bullying and harassment policies so that they were LGBTQ inclusive. I’ve been an officer in Key Club for three years and a member since the first month of my freshmen year. I’ve played piano for seven years even though I suck. I’ve taken eleven AP courses and applied in 8th grade to attend a specialized program for the study of humanities, electing to attend a high school that I wasn’t zoned for. I did this in spite of living with chronic back pain and all the resulting surgeries and days spent home at the hands of my neurological disability, and clinical depression that was bad enough for me to wind up in a psychiatric hospital. I did all that because I genuinely wanted to, because I love learning and helping others and I want to be a better person. And I’d do it all again. But at the same time, I feel so brokenhearted that all of that will probably just come down to a little white envelop. I’ve worked so hard but it just wasn’t good enough.
im from socal (live like 30 minutes from USC) and i didnt get my letter today or any mail from USC. does that mean im rejected?
@pterosprite Hey don’t give up yet! The whole message thing probably doesn’t even mean much, nobody really knows. We all just have to wait and see what comes in the mail. By the way, you should be proud of yourself! You have some pretty amazing accomplishments.
@pterosprite You haven’t even gotten rejected yet. But know that you’re not alone. I’ve gotten NOTHING but rejections/wait lists and IT HURTS. It just sucks. Just know that you’ll go somewhere and have the time of your life, and all those stupid and myopic admissions officers who didn’t see your potential will regret rejecting you in 20 years. Just wait.
