This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
for those of you waiting for your letters from the feb 26th interviews,
it seems that you'll get them next week.
at least that's what i heard.

word of advice,
DON'T pester the admissions office.
they don't like that.
be patient and try to relax.

good luck everybody!
i hope you all get in.
i met a lot of you that day and you're all great candidates.
🙂

Congrats again! and heard from who?
 
I want to know this is getting so stressful...
 
is it email or snail mail, i've been standing next to me mail box all morning like an idiot waiting, and checking my mail on the phone simultaneously lol.

Did you receive a second notification for financial aid today?
 
I didn't get a notification for financial aid at all (not first or second).
 
Hopefully you guys hear something by this week. I wonder why it's taking longer than usual. Maybe they are doing acceptances by snail mail like before?

I hope so too!!! I forgot about it until they sent me that fin aid email 😳
 
I think you may be getting FA emails from them because you submitted your FAFSA like desler said and you probably have some other documents they want you to submit.

You're right 🙂 The wait is making anxious!
 
i have my interview this saturday and i just wanted to clarify some things about the interview...

is the interview open or closed file?

and is the interview with the professor and student at the same time or separate?

thanks!!

For me it was open file. my interviewer asked me very specific questions from my secondary application essay.

And, it is both the professor and the student together, each take turns asking questions.

Good luck!👍

I think it's open file to a certain extent. I know the professor mentioned that they read my secondary essays but it seemed like that's all they had. They didn't know about my EC activities and stuff like that (unless you mentioned it in your essays).
 
Received an email from Xin Gong approx 20 minutes ago. I am on the AC list 🙁. However, I'm happy to be accepted at my top-choice school so I will be removing myself from the AC list. Good luck, everyone! 😀
 
Got my second hold letter just now 🙁 so everyone should receive some sort of notification soon. Good luck!
 
I got AC at USC as well. 🙁
UOP is probably where I will end up unless they remove me from the AC list. and I'm happy with it but I'd be happier with USC since its close to home. But hey, you can't have everything! Gotta give up something to gain something. 🙂

Congrats to those who get accepted and Good luck to everyone else! 🙂
 
ac... 🙁 🙁

says 11 candidates from AC have been admitted. congrats to them
 
Congrats to all who got in 🙂
anyone from AC who got in? it says 11 candidates were accepted from Nov and Jan AC list????
 
I haven't received an AC email yet and I interviewed on 2/26 but I received a third financial aid email today. Yesterday they sent me a second notification requesting for additional financial aid information with an attachment titled "new admit stdt-email" and today they sent me another generic financial aid email. The wait is killing me 🙁

The signs are that you'll get accepted 🙂 Good luck!

Thank you I need all the luck I can get! I'm thinking maybe they sent me another financial aid email by accident instead of the AC email 🙄
 
Just received my AC e-mail as well. This limbo land kinda sucks.
 
my friend got her acceptance email not too long ago from Xin. I don't think she'll be attending though so she'll be giving up her seat. Hope this helps out the AC list. Hang in there guys!!! :luck::xf::luck::xf::luck:
 
My mom called me and told me there's a big yellow packet waiting for me at home 🙂 🙂 🙂!!!!
 
i haven't heard anything yet, guess i'm still on AC (I had the Jan interview).
 
Yeahh!!! Congrats to both of you!!! Shelligator, I'm guessing it was worth the wait! 😀

Yes it was thank you so much!! I look forward to seeing you all in the fall!!! I have a midterm at 6 and I can't concentrate now 😛
 
AC still. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Let me scream a little. So sad... =(
 
i know how you feel! everyone i know got accepted to sc. i am happy for them...but feeling so left out! =(
 
Congrats to everyone who got in 👍

See you in class!
:highfive::soexcited::woot::banana:
 
I got my acceptance letter today!! 🙂 I was somehow pulled off the AC list.
 
FYI-I was finally accepted off of the waitlist from USC in May last year :/ Hard decision, but I went to UCSF instead. There is still hope! GL guys 🙂
 
Congrats to all who got in 🙂

I was on AC since Nov and I was finally admitted this time around. 🙂
 
My hold letter from USC says first hold. Do you know what that means? Did yours say the same thing? Congrats to you!

You probably interviewed in February, correct?

First hold just refers to it being a first hold letter based on your interviewing date (e.g. January interviewers would be 2nd hold letter, and etc).
 
Congrats to those who got in!
My interview is this Sat. I'm getting excited!
 
interviewing this saturday too! very excited 😀 and nervous :scared: at the same time!!
