When you got your acceptance email, there should have been a link in it. The email's subject line says: "USC School of Social Work Admission Documents" and in that acceptance email, it will say: "Congratulations! You have been admitted to the USC School of Social Work. Please follow the Review Documents link to view your admission letter and complete your admission forms. Further documents will arrive within the next week via postal mail." So, just click on the "REVIEW DOCUMENTS" link, and it will take you to this DocuSign site. And from there, you'll get to accept the offer and pay the $280 deposit. Good luck!!

Mscore, I know a lot of people are rejecting the offer at USC for financial reasons, so don't give up!! You'll most likely get in!! Best of luck to you. =) Did you apply to any other schools?

Hmm... I turned my enrollment and housing form online already... Haven't heard anything yet about the financial aid package. I should call tomorrow. Also, I heard that we have to take the same amount of units that we put down on the enrollment and housing form in order to get our scholarships and to be eligible for any financial aid package. Does it have to be exactly what we put down? Or it can be a little off as long as It's full-time? (What we had to put down on the enrollment and housing form was very specific).

Submitted my field placement forms today!

Mscore, they want me to put down a payment by 4/12. I think It's different for everyone depending on the day u got accepted. They give u 2 weeks from the day u get the acceptance email. And within that 2-week period, u have to accept/confirm their offer, pay the $280 deposit, confirm the offer again on the Graduate Statement of Intent form online, set up the USC email account, and send the Field Placement forms (via mail). The placement forms are kinda long. U also need to write another personal statement that's different from your original one but some of the contents are very similar.

I got the MSW scholarship like a couple hours after the acceptance email. But I had to wait like 5 days for the leadership one. Both combined will cover close to half of the first year tuition. The second year, I'll need to apply again. Hope u get the leadership one too!

Congrats Jbean, Bradley610, and CaliGirl-MSW!!! Finally!!! And Mscore, hope u hear back soon! I'm beginning to think that this process took so long for some of us because they were also reevaluating our scholarships applications/essays. I got both Dean's Leadership and Social Work Endowed Scholarships. I got a separate letter for each after the acceptance email.

Kmed, lol. Noooo!!! My bird was old!! And thanks!! Finally I heard from them!!! And boooooo you're going to UCLA!!!!

Also, does everyone get the USC school of social work endowed scholarship? Just wondering. I actually received a portion of it today after I got the acceptance email. And does anyone know the maximum amount you can get through that scholarship? I didn't get any info about the dean's leadership scholarship so should I just assume that I didn't qualify for that? Or are they sending that out later?

Congrats, eft4790 and purplescarves!!! and best wishes for the rest of u guys!! I know how stressful and exhausting it was for me to wait this long. I hope you guys hear back asap!! thank you guys all for the encouragement throughout the waiting process!!

I just got an email from USC office of admission (after finding out that my bird died)... I got in!!!! Weird emotion right now because today is also my twin sister's 6th year memorial...

HarmonyMisc, they haven't contacted me yet at all. But I've noticed that they send out acceptance emails on Fridays. That seems to be the trend. So hopefully,we'll hear back by today. And about the second review, I really don't know because the lady I spoke to said that "everyone" goes through the second faculty review, but I guess at different times. So maybe they're just lagging on ours? Either way, good luck to you and the rest of us. I better hear something by the end of today!! If I don't, I might need to start thinking of a back up plan because that was the only school I applied to.

I seriously hope that they're just lagging... I really don't wanna wait another year. Bradley, congrats on your first Master's. What program is it?

Harmonymisc, do you usually call the general social work admission office and talk to the first person that answers the call? Or do you specifically talk to someone in particular?

Jbean, me too. I already know a bunch of people who have been accepted but not rejected. That's why I'm getting worried. I can't help but to think that they're saving to send out the rejection letters till last and maybe that's why its taking this long?I really hope that's not the case. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though because its the only school I applied to. Hope everyone else hears back by this Friday.

Still no email from USC!! Should I start to worry..?

Also, I asked the lady if "everyone" goes through the second faculty review and she said "yes" so I really don't know now...

Adri, what do you mean by "unanswered questions"? Do you mean that: I didn't answer all the questions? Or the faculty members who are reviewing my application have some questions about my qualifications and had to get a second opinion? I really hope that the second faculty review isn't a bad thing.

Good luck Bradley! Yes, let's hope that we both get in! The lady also said most of the applicants should hear back by end of next week. I don't know how accurate her info was...

Thanks!! Hopefully, I'll hear back from them this week. Glad to know that it's a good thing. congrats on your UW Paige!!

I submitted my USC application on Jan 8th (a week before the priority deadline) and I still haven't heard back from them. Is anyone else (who applied before or on Jan 15) still waiting for the admission decision? Also, I called the School of Social Work admission office today and the lady told me that my application is under "Second" faculty review (passed the initial review). Is this good or bad? I know that some people already got accepted, and I'm wondering why my application is still under second review and taking so long. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

If USC really goes by last names, I'm a "T" so that's good. I already know that some people with a "J", "K",and "M" got accepted. We'll see. But it is unlikely though. They prob go by first come first served. I turned in my app on Jan 8th... Hopefully, I'll get an email soon so I can just not think about it during my trip to Paris next week. :/

I called USC's Social Work Admissions and they said we have three weeks to accept the offer and pay the deposit. And we can do it online and don't necessarily need the actual packet to accept/pay ... True? Or did the lady totally lie to me???
