Does anybody have an opinion for UCLA vs. USC?

@Angiebangie344 I received an email from Tiffany at 11:30 am on 2/22, and the UCLA graduate division sent the decision letter to my portal the next day. I originally applied on Oct 2nd, but because my data was lost as the school switched over to a different application software, I had to resubmit my information. This was a whole huge nightmare where I was told that I was not impacted by the graduate division switching to a new application platform, and was told over the phone that all my stuff was in order and I was good to go, but that wasn't true. I just happened to check out my application on December 11th and noticed that it was asking me to send letters of recommendation requests and as far as I knew my recommenders submitted everything on like October 10th, so yeah everything had been lost, all my data, all the documents I uploaded, and I had to get my recommenders to resubmit their LORs and stuff. I also brought this up with Tiffany and the social welfare department. So technically I re-applied on Dec 12th and my recommenders had everything in by the next day I believe. The cut off for the fellowship was Dec 15th so I just barely made it in time for that. I think I may have been one of the very first applicants since I applied and submitted everything the day after applications opened, and I think they did me a favor and notified me earlier because of that, and because I had called asking when we might hear back. I was told that people would start hearing back this week so, tomorrow would be the day I expect to start hearing more acceptances. Last year they notified those who were pre fellowship deadline first.

I applied on 12/15 and am hoping to hear back soon! But, it makes me nervous to know that they have sent out acceptance letters and I have not heard yet. I recently got into USC w/ a scholarship and I want to hear back from UCLA so I can make a decision. Fingers crossed some of us find out by today.
