Yeah I think that is what they call their wait list. Looks like no one comes off of it

When did you interview?

 

[ambarkho]

Do people get rejected after an interview here cuz it seems like everyone just gets waitlisted?

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using SDN mobile

[mdloading]

Has anyone seen anything about financial aid forms we need to do? Just making sure I’m not missing anything!

Have you completed fafsa?

 

[mdloading]

Have you completed fafsa?

Yes I did!

There’s a supplemental form in your YouSC portal. It basically just has you confirm living arrangements (on vs off campus).

Okay cool i'll make sure I do that thanks!

Was there an email on this? Thanks!

[flubchub]

interviewed late January and still haven't heard anything (no calls, no WL email, no updated portal)...does USC do "silent" rejections?

Probably not.

 

[yeetyeetx1000]

are calls going out today?

 

[the_expert]

are calls going out today?

not sure if there are any more A's to go out; no A's have been reported in atleast a month so probably no calls and just WL emails from here on out. could be wrong though.

 

[bones-n-sconez]

So no full tuition scholarships are being offered here this year?

 

[WootWoot5]

not sure if there are any more A's to go out; no A's have been reported in atleast a month so probably no calls and just WL emails from here on out. could be wrong though.

I’m wondering why they wouldn’t just WL all of us already if there aren’t anymore A’s to go out.

 

[Wakanda70]

Is the WL ranked?

 

[proudofmykids]

Is the WL ranked?

Forgive my ignorance....
What other ways do / can wait lists work if not ranked?

I've recently saw another reference to a possible unranked waitlist.

 

[proudofmykids]

Lots of schools say their waitlists are "unranked"... but we all know they don't just pick someone at random.

So what do they say unranked means?

 

[rosegoldkitten]

have they given out all the "merit" scholarships do we think?

 

[StormPhoenix]

have they given out all the "merit" scholarships do we think?

I mean it's just a phone call, and they're typically given out January-February based on the prior thread. I'm sure there will be redistribution once April rolls around and people start dropping their As.

In that same line of questioning, does anyone know how liberal USC is with increasing their merit offers?

 

[heweezy7991]

have they given out all the "merit" scholarships do we think?

Admissions office said they've dispersed all of the recruitment scholarships thus far

 

[deleted1038185]

Hi everyone! Congrats to those of you who have committed to coming to Keck this fall!

If you're a female and are interested in living in Currie Hall, I'm currently living in a 4 br in the original building (not the new one by the train tracks) and am looking for someone to take over my lease come this summer.

Living on campus has been a great experience during my first year for many reasons, but I'm looking to move off campus to live with some friends. PM me if you're interested

 

[Wakanda70]

Typically if there is any movement off of the WL, when does it happen?

 

[mjgon55]

Typically if there is any movement off of the WL, when does it happen?

Dean Arias said to send a short email on April 30th (I believe this is the date, but someone please correct me if not) if you are on the WL and are still interested. So I am guessing there will be movement around then!

 

[Ogichi]

Withdrew my acceptance. Same message lol, but let's extend a courtesy to our fellow applicants and withdraw as soon as you're absolutely convinced you will not be attending to hasten WL movement.

As a side note, they awarded me a half-tuition recruitment scholarship. Hopefully, that gets redistributed to one of you

Best

 

[71650]

Does anyone get off the waitlist for this school? Seems like movement was minimal last year

 

[the_expert]

WL email just now

 

[ughimpremed]

WL right now... interviewed 2/25 but dean arias said the committee would not meet until 3/16 so im confused... does anyone know what's going on?

 

[Anonymous_turtle]

Waitlisted; Interviewed 2/26.

Anxiety is at an all time high, just spent 15 minutes stalking last years thread to see if people actually get off the wait list. There were a few, so trying to not compltely lose hope.

 

[Anonymous_turtle]

During the interview on the 26th she said they would either meet on 3/2 or 3/16.

 

[the_expert]

they are clearly out of seats! all interviews past 1/18 seemed to have been for the WL

 

[WootWoot5]

Has anyone else still not heard back post-II from more than 3 weeks ago?

 

[ughimpremed]

does anyone get post II rejections here or does everyone get waitlisted?

 

[MDMar10]

they are clearly out of seats! all interviews past 1/18 seemed to have been for the WL

This sounds about right. There haven't been any acceptance reports from January and February interviewees so that points to a full class since the end of December.

Did they let you know about your scholarship in the acceptance email?

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

Anyone not get an email about 2nd week being cancelled?

I did *edit: read that wrong sorry! i did get the email!

 

[DrogonTheDragon]

Anyone know when financial aid packages come out? Specifically merit-based?

Merits have been sent already for awhile now.

I don’t think need-based exists here.
