hello! i'm new to the forum. been finding it super useful.
i just submitted my app for R2 for USC.
does anyone know what the usual turnaround time is for usc to review apps? how long do ppl have to wait before hearing ANYTHING back (whether it's an interview invite or ding) after they have submitted their apps? the website says notifications for R2 is on march 30?! i really hope i don't have to wait that long...
In my case, I submitted my application in the early round (11/1 deadline) on 10/31. I received an interview invite on 12/4 and interviewed on 12/6. Although they said that the notification deadline was supposed to be 12/15, when I got the interview request, they changed it a little by saying "by 12/15, the admissions office will notify applicants of this early Round if they have been denied, waitlisted or scheduled for an interview". I was expecting to get an admit or deny decision by 12/15 so not sure what their deadlines mean in later rounds. Having said that, I did receive an admit on 12/21 so that was great surprise. Hopefully the process moves faster as they get into later rounds.
thanks red_s4! and congrats on your admit! 1 month seems like a pretty long turnaround time to me...although usc might get a lot of apps. i also applied to cornell, and they got back to me with an interview invite within 2 weeks after submitting.
i just realized i never filled out that financing section of the app! i know it's not required for u.s. citizens, but does it look kind of shady that i left it blank? should i contact them and see if i could edit it??
did anyone else fill that page out?
