I heard back from Csun yesterday at 5 pm (PST) and got waitlisted, position #57. haven't heard from CSULB yet.
 
Has CSUN sent out any rejections yet or just acceptances and waitlist?

niceee, congrats :) , do you mind saying how was your stats that you got in? also are you planning to go to USC or you would rather other school?
thank you in advance :)

Same! Proof USC is easier to get into than CSUN haha seeing that we’re both waitlisted at CSUN but got into USC. I don’t really plan on paying that much but will go to the open house and see what kinds of scholarships they have. How about you?

For anyone wondering their site says they accept ~200 students each year but matriculate 95-100 probably because of $$$. I think anyone with decent stats (3.5+ GPAs, 310 combined GRE) has a shot at getting in.

It may have been earlier in this thread, but I read somewhere on this forum that Chapman is waiting till the academic update period is over before sending out anything. That ends Feb. 15th I believe. So it may not be till then, I haven't heard a peep from them since they verified they received my application.

Ok, Thank you for letting me know!

Friend I work with got into Chapman. I think she heard about a week ago, not 100% sure but definitely recently. I don’t know her stats or when she submitted her apps though.

They’re closed on Fridays and weekends. Hopefully by Friday next week! I would email Heather too...she actually told me I got in before I recieved my official letter.
 
Has anyone recently heard from USC ? I heard that they already have a waitlist. Does this mean that those who are not waitlisted till now, probably are not going to get accepted?
I'm loosing hope and I really wanted to get accepted :(((
 
LLU will be sending acceptance letters this week FYI

Does anyone know if USC will allow you to find out the number you are on the waitlist? I recently got an offer to be placed on the waitlist but I am wondering if they base their waitlist on how quickly you accept that offer or if they already have a ranking in place.
 
I just got an interview invite for WesternU on 11/21! I'll be interviewing on Jan 29th
Hey, how was your interview like at WesternU? I’d like to know what they asked!
