USC Class of 2024 Applicants Thread

@CADREAMIN @WWWard I don’t know if this has been asked before, but is it possible to get rejected for your 1st choice major but accepted for your 2nd? Or if you get accepted for your 1st but want to switch to your second is it relatively easy to do so? When I was applying I did Psych 1st and Communications 2nd, but now I am sure that I would want to major in communications.

Good luck everyone! I know this is a crazy time for us all and I just want to take a moment to say that this decision will not make or break your world. It’s a great school of course, but there is a lot out there for all of you even if your path never includes USC! Just some perspective in these tense times <3

Mine still says Application in Review @sassycassie5896 but noticed one change. When I clicked Planning Wksht It used to j say Unavailable, but now it tries to load my data for a few seconds before saying unavailable.

@collegeappacc mine does that too

@repaul nice, do you know if this new or old lol

@collegeappacc Umm I didn’t look at it that hard before but I’m pretty sure it just instantly say “Unavailable”, but now it has like a moment of a “progress bar” animation with “Loading applicant data…” or something, before quickly changing to “Unavailable” again.

Yeah, @repaul exactly what I see!

Mine like flashes something really quickly and then says unavailable. Is that what you mean? Or is it longer than like half a second lol

@sassycassie5896 @collegeappacc yeah mine flashed it too. i tried it a few times, and one of the times it lagged a lil longer than half a second so i saw a little more than just a flash

Okay saw it. It says “please wait while we retrieve your financial data” is that what you have?

@sassycassie5896 yeah but it probably doesn’t mean anything

@repaul probably not lol but just wanted to check!

In the “Upload Materials” section I’m seeing "College Transcript and “Final High School Transcript” amid the other ones, were they there before?

@sassycassie Yes it is possible to get admitted for first or second or undeclared. And if you want to switch to communications that is an application to Annenberg and relatively easy - they will want you to take an intro to comm class and you can get accepted when that is in progress…

I would get started and give it some time (that first semester) to decide, there are so many GE’s to take (and you could find GEs in either Annenberg or Dornsife if you want to test waters)…point is there is no rush, you could move to Annenberg anytime as long as you get that intro to comm class going…you may want to major in one and minor in another kind of thing or even double major…don’t decide till ya get some experience and feedback from others about each program (and maybe others will entice you)!

Engineering is one school that doesn’t consider you if it is a second choice - they only look at applicants that have an engineering discipline as a first choice.

@cadman6 College transcripts has been there. I know because I submitted one a while back to show proof of a physics course, but I don’t think Final transcript was there until recently.

Also, were “Spring Grades (unofficial)” there before either? And are the final transcript/spring grades there for everyone?

@sassycassie5896 I’m pretty sure all of that was there before.

@bibiabiyeye Me!! So nervous for the results :,(

I applied to Annenberg :relaxed:
