After May 15th and still waiting??

[Guest LuvUSC]

Ok Im still waiting on USC since my initial letter in late March. Should email or call the school to find out what my status is or what?

They certainly won't reject if you for asking them what's going on. I'm sure they'll even be understanding, knowing that most people hear back much earlier. Why not write them an email asking about the status of your application. Here's a letter I sent to a few schools:

Subject: Fall 2006 Applicant Question

Dear Office of Admissions,

Could you let me know the status of my application for the PhD program in _______? I have not yet heard back and I am currently making plans for the summer and next year. Thank you for your understanding and help.

Sincerely,

my name

I still have 3 applications out. I wouldn't worry too much, but I agree that you should contact them if it was a January deadline. If it was a late deadline, like half of my apps, I wouldn't freak out yet.
