downrabbithole Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just looked at my USC account and it says a decision has been made and I will be notified via mail soon. The message also stated that USC does not inform people of decisions via e-mail or phone calls, but a ton of people on the results board have said they have been notified this way. Any insight?

theflash7269 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I was notified through email and then received a snail mail letter a few days after. My status still says "you're application has been sent to the committee for review" though, so it might depend on your program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downrabbithole Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Makes sense. This is what my page says verbatim: "You will receive notification of your admission decision soon via postal mail. Please note the Office of Admissions provides final decision notification by mail only. We do not disclose admissions decisions via e-mail, telephone, or any other means."

Ankush Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Decaf, Which dept had you applied to? Thanks. Makes sense. This is what my page says verbatim: "You will receive notification of your admission decision soon via postal mail.

HigherEdNerd Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Makes sense. This is what my page says verbatim: "You will receive notification of your admission decision soon via postal mail. Please note the Office of Admissions provides final decision notification by mail only. We do not disclose admissions decisions via e-mail, telephone, or any other means." To me, this reads like it is just attempting to keep applicants from contacting the office to ask about their status. As in, "we won't respond (to your call or email) to let you know your admissions decisions, so don't call or email us to ask." However, I don't think it precludes them from sending an email or calling you if you are accepted. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitt kat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Where did they notify you? On the application site or via some email message? I went to USC for undergrad, but I know that's different, so not expecting to hear the same way. I just applied last week (the program I applied to has a later deadline than the December 1st one) but I'm curious to how I'll be told. Also, I can answer any general USC questions to those interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amalia222 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 mine doesn't say anything about not emailing, so i finally emailed them today. Mine says the same thing it's said since I submitted my app in november: Your file has been forwarded to the academic department for review and an admission decision. You may check this system periodically for updates, and if the academic department requires additional information or renders an admission decision, you will be contacted.

fifa0001 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I sent an email to USC about a wk ago requesting the status of application. Got a line back on this past Saturday telling me "all decisions will be made the first wk of April" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaspirant Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 all the decisions before first week of april or in the first week of April ? cos few ppl have got admits already ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifa0001 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 all the decisions before first week of april or in the first week of April ? cos few ppl have got admits already ! I had the same question actually. the message states"by the first week of April". So guess decision is oozing out little by little every day/ or week.
