I did, yes!

 

[alksaOT]

I did, yes!

I didn't

 

[FutureOT422]

I didn't

I didn’t either. I emailed admissions to confirm but they won’t be back til 1/3

 

[jadynk25]

I didn’t either. I emailed admissions to confirm but they won’t be back til 1/3

yeah i did the same... im worried maybe mine didn't upload properly because it was like 10MB over their "allowed"

 

[alksaOT]

I didn’t either. I emailed admissions to confirm but they won’t be back til 1/3

I also emailed them. Hopefully they respond before the 9pm PST deadline

Following this has anyone heard from them? I never got an email confirmation either.

Not yet, I’d assume they’ll get to it today since they’ve been out of office.

I re-uploaded mine today bc i got worried it didnt work properly, and i never got an email back from them yet. this time i got a nice confirmation screen saying it was uploaded, but still no email. hoping it maybe just has a lapse between upload and email, but i screenshot my screen so hopefully if anything happens i can prove i uplaoded it properly!

Did it say “finished uploading we’ll let Chan OSOT know you uploaded files”?

Mine did! I also reuploaded just in case since i never got a response from them

 

[nicoleOT25]

Did it say “finished uploading we’ll let Chan OSOT know you uploaded files”?

I also received that confirmation page after uploading my file but I did not take a screenshot and did not receive a confirmation email. I’m debating on emailing admissions has anyone heard from them?

it's never a bad idea to email them, although i emailed on like the 21st and never heard back.

 

[OTjgjc811]

I just got an email reply from Dr. Bennet saying they got my video

She’s a student ambassador and she also just emailed me right now that the date is tentative but generally comes this week via email.

 

[FutureOT422]

Since USC is kinda late on the decision side of things, do any of you guys have a deposit into any other schools? If you get into USC, do you just email the other school to withdraw the your decision?

I have a deposit at Belmont, I think I will actually be attending Tufts regardless of my USC decision (although you never know), but I think that you just email their admissions/contact and tell them you will not be attending

No, I sent her an email personally and she said that in response
