University of South Carolina seems to send out decisions relatively early from what I hear of last year's cycle at least. I visited Penn State in the fall and everyone there confirmed that Penn State sends their decisions out ridiculously late usually, like to the point where you may have already made a decision otherwise. Good luck!
Thank you for the info bro

My GPA is pretty average but I have studied a bunch of courses from Geography, GIS and environmental sciences. My personal statement and Letter of recommendations are supposedly good. I have travelled extensively within and outside my country and have also published a few ebooks although that doesn't count as academic. I have also contacted potential supervisors and have received positive response from some of them. I am currently working on my final year research but does not have any published paper as yet. Do you think that would make a difference? I am hoping to get into any of the above listed universities if offered funding.
Thank you and all the best to everyone
