USC says it hasn't received my supplement!

I emailed USC yesterday explaining how I’d submitted my writing supplement on time successfully via the common app but USConnect was saying it hadn’t been received. I told them I uploaded the PDF just in case and asked if I would still be eligible for scholarships. They responded promptly tonight. Here’s what they wrote me:



Dear —,

Thank you for contacting the Office of Admission at the University of Southern California.

As long as the Common Application acknowledges that you submitted the Writing Supplement successfully then we simply need to download the supplement. You will still be considered for USC scholarships and your USConnect account should confirm that we have received the supplement within the next 3-5 business days.

Sincerely,
USC Office of Admission



I’d assume that the reason so many were experiencing this problem was simply because the system hadn’t finished processing all of the apps. Rest assured, all of us who successfully submitted on time will still be considered for scholarships.
