Turns out I was on the USC waitlist but had no idea because they used an email address to get in touch with me which I haven't opened in months lol.
For those of you who are waitlisted and can't make it to the open days, do you think this might negatively affect your chances of getting an offer? I'm in the middle of Europe and am already making a pretty big sacrifice to go to the Brown visit days, and as much as I would love to 'squeeze a few more days in', as they put it, it's just not feasible Plus I gave my word to Brown.
