I applied in mid January, recieved an email from the department that they had recieved my application on Feb 15. I've been reading old posts, and it seems that the wheels turn pretty slow. Does anyone KNOW what the story is? I was accepted to USC last year, but couldn't go due to some family obligations. Now I have all of my eggs in this basket, and am getting pretty nervous about acceptance. Oh, and will I get an email, letter, what????
