General Admissions & OTCAS USC OT 2020-2021 Applicants Stats/Updates/Q&A

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi, for those of you who are getting off the waitlist is it by email or phone call?
 
I have decided to decline my spot! Although usc has a huge name and is “prestigious”, I just can’t justify the cost of attending when I got accepted to cheaper programs.
Hoping someone on the waitlist hears soon!

Thank you for letting us know! I was also accepted into a relatively cheaper program and have been debating on what to do if I get accepted from the waitlist. USC is nearing 150k. I might go for it but it feels painful to spend that kind of money for a master's degree.

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing the process after being accepted off the waitlist, do you have to make a decision on the spot or is there a deadline?

Hoping someone finally answers your question 😆 but I am guessing they are given some time to accept/deny their spot as well.

Did anyone else here get accepted to Columbia last week? I have scoured the entire internet and cannot find a single thread, and I really want to chat with people. I have to submit my decision by February 1st, so I am anxiously awaiting USC’s response!

Hi! Did you wind up committing to Columbia? There's a good chance I'll be there this fall and would love to chat 🙂

I was given 4 days to respond with my answer!
 
I received an email on Thursday that I was accepted off the waitlist...with scholarship! Following this forum really helped me mentally get through this crazy process. Thank you all! Stay positive for those still waiting 🙂
 
Did anyone else ask where they were on the waitlist?
I asked and I was told I was in the “top half”, but I have been on the waitlist for almost 2 months now so I’m not really sure how many people are in that category.... hard to gauge my chances... 2 months and still waiting D’:

I asked and was told the same thing. It's hard to guess our spot from that but it does give me some hope.
 
Very weird. All instances of the word "0waitlist0" has been changed to "purgatory" on this thread. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
 
I was also told I was in the "top half" and I’m still waiting haha
