<p>Solomonm- Seriously, call. I almost threw up when I called them yesterday, lol, but at least they told me I won’t be getting an SGR and should hear this week. :/</p>
<p>WOT- are u still on the second status update. its already wednesday, count down for your decision. good luck…</p>
<p>NITRO23- Thanks. Yes, I am still on the second status. Everything is psyching me out, time to listen to weird music.</p>
<p>WOMAN OF TROY - Call Your consoler! You need to speak to them about your concerns. I am not you and I am worried for you. Just be honest.</p>
<p>DJS3CA-
My regional counselor= always busy.</p>
<p>Michael was seriously way more insightful in letting me know those two things. (No SGR, will know this week)</p>
<p>DJS3CA- What is her “consoler” going to do for WOT, and why are you worried for WOT</p>
<p>So, I called because I wanted to hear something from USC. </p>
<p>What I found out:
*USC update system is down or “slowed down”
*My application is currently in review and the next step would be a decision in the mail.</p>
<p>I do not think it will be soon, but I do think it will be in the next 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Gah.</p>
<p>Yeah they’re busy with calls. Yesterday the machine said there were 8 people ahead of me.</p>
<p>DJS3CA- “slowed down”. nvmd.</p>
<p>DjS3CA-can you please give me an idea what to ask them so they can look up my file? Like I want to see if they receivd my spring grades that I faxed them, but whenever I ask, they say they need at lease 5 days to process them. Any ideas please?</p>
<p>sc girly 12- Tell them it’s been more than 5 days.</p>
<p>SCGIRLY12- The lady on the phone was pretty tight-lipped. To be honest, I don’t know what to recommend. </p>
<p>WOT- Yeah, I don’t know what she meant by “slowed down.” </p>
<p>Last Friday there was this sweet lady and incredibly helpful. Sadly, that was the only day we had contact.</p>
<p>I just called and asked again… paranoia is setting in.</p>
<p>Got the same answer after they looked up my file. “Wait until about next tuesday, if your status is still not updated by that point call back then”</p>
<p>son of a *****…</p>
<p>SCGirly just lie about when you submitted the grades. Or just flat out ask them to pull up your file and see if they received it. Or check Oasis to see the documents they have on file</p>
<p>Solomonm- I know how you feel. Unless you don’t feel like crap, then nevermind. :p</p>
<p>WOT, DJS3CA, & Solomonm-okay thanks for the advice. I know they’re super busy right now, it’s crunch time, but I just want to know if they have my spring grades on file after I faxed them. If not, I have to refax them or mail them today. It doesn’t hurt to follow up! Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Let us know how it goes</p>
<p>I guess its only me and wot that are still on the second status page. I am kinda hesitant to call them, don’t know why.</p>
<p>Well, I sorta do know why. I am scared that I may end up talking to the same person from last week, that would be really awkward…</p>
<p>sunsetsam- Yep. You should try anyway. DJS3CA was told they’re having a backup.</p>
<p>DANGIT! I got a SGR, but I got a B in my Stats class! dang!</p>
<p>Chopstix: getting a B in stats is not bad news</p>
<p>err SGR is borderline though. I have 2 a’s 3 b’s the bs are killing me lol</p>
