Completed secondary 9/2. Still no news. Not a very good sign.

 

[MalibuPreMD]

Don't forget about USC's own transportation service (

I'm sure there's a way to get from Bob Hope to HSC, but I don't think it's the best option or worth the trouble.

Metrolink at bob hope airport to union station, 5 minute USC shuttle from union station to HSC campus. Make sure to check times for both:

total price = $5.75

Yeah, I feel the same way 🙁 except I was complete 8/17.

 

[Entadus]

Complete 7/13 here... poop or get off the pot 😕

 

[lalalapartay012]

Just to get an idea of where they are at in terms of accepting/rejecting (since early December it seemed to have a 11/12 day turn around from interview to decision): has anyone from December interviews not heard back yet? Or has anyone who interviewed from January heard back yet?

Pre-interview rejection. IS, 33, 3.6 cGPA/3.7 sGPA. Good luck to those still in the running

 

[dancingmate]

Pre-interview rejection. Alma mater, so hurts a bit.

 

[vfom]

Pre-Interview rejection. IS >3.9/33. complete mid-Novmember.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Pre-Interview rejection. IS >3.9/33. complete mid-Novmember.

+1 as well

 

[lumbricoides]

sorry to those who have been rejected pre-interview. I have a question for you though, as earlier in the season I had an issue receiving communication from Keck. I was wondering if you guys also so a change in your status, or the rejection email listed in the communication history, in the application portal?

Yes, the online portal communication status indicated a new message with the subject "Admissions Decision"

Is it just me or does it seem like they are only sending rejections to IS students lately? Can any other OOS people support this theory... I'm OOS complete since end of August and pretty much just waiting for my rejection

In the same boat...

 

[BolloX]

Are interviews still being given out, or are they in hyper-reject mode now?

 

[CyberMaxx]

Rejected just now. Complete early September. Best of luck to the rest of you!

 

[Entadus]

Rejected pre-interview also.

 

[lumbricoides]

rad-jected. complete mid-sept.

 

[snappychalupa]

"We are grateful that [...] you have not been chosen to interview." That one hurt a little.

IS, 33, 3.6, 3.65, complete early August.

 

[TheKMan1]

Rejected, oos 34, 4.0

After the sea of pre-interview rejections that have been posted, I was too afraid to post about the interview experience. You guys were not joking around when you mentioned how good those cookies were. Amazing, just like the school.

 

[lalalapartay012]

I wonder if we'll hear back by the end of this week/month. What do you all think?

I agree had my interview on the 17th and one interviewer mentioned committee will meet 3 weeks from then but I'm hoping it's actually 2.

I interviewed 1/8 and the dean said it is extremely weird if we do not hear back by 5 weeks. So I'm guessing that it really might be 3 weeks and that early February is what we're looking at...

[Caliente Pocket]

anyone interview on the 8th hear anything?

i just got the interview survey...

 

[lalalapartay012]

Anyone else hear anything yet or just one person? I thought all decisions were released at once (at least per interview day?) since people reported waitlists at the same time as acceptances...

 

[lalalapartay012]

Just got the interview survey. Scared me a bit haha

Hahah I got the interview survey twice x___x scared me twice!

 

[Caliente Pocket]

I thought decisions were released all at once too....at least judging from all the other decision days I've read

 

[Caliente Pocket]

looks like we're in the same boat lalala: maybe we'll hear back tomorrow? 3 weeks from the 8th :O

 

[SilentSoldier]

Same here, I was like that's hella fast turnaround. It was just a survey. I think all of my insides just inverted when I saw it 😛

 

[lalalapartay012]

[ReadyToRumble]

I didn't even get a survey, uh-oh! hahaha You know it's bad when you feel left out of just a survey.

 

[striker15]

I feel like I'm going to puke. I really, really want to go to USC

You and me both. Seems like its a 3 week turnaround. I guess I have to go thru the gruesome wait for at least another week.

 

[lalalapartay012]

I didn't even get a survey, uh-oh! hahaha You know it's bad when you feel left out of just a survey.

LOL when did you interview though? I received two surveys (same email haha) so I should just give one to you lol j/k

 

[Caliente Pocket]

when did you interview readytorumble?

 

[lalalapartay012]

My coworker's friend interviewed 1/7. She says that he says he hasn't received anything (lol fun train of he says that she says that he says going on)

yeah...something seems weird. As far as I thought all decisions were released on the same day at the same time
