Has everybody sent their intent to interview reply back? I'm going to interview on campus, but I'm really not sure which dates work best for me -- got a couple business trips scheduled this month. I don't want to delay too long in response, either =X

Hi Everyone,

I applied for R2. I have not received an interview invited yet. Does that mean I probably won't get one? Does anyone know when is the last day interview invites will be sent out? How worried should i be?

Also, my online status still says submitted. Does that mean I probably didn't get in and is not waited listed as well?

Thanks for the advice.

Their website says Feb 15th for Interview invites to go out and a date in March for Interviews to be completed. So I've decided to postpone my stress untill after Feb 15th for not getting an interview invite!

After going through whole thread, I guess R2 interview invite's 1st wave was on 8th Feb. Since 15th Feb. is the last date, I am guessing that would be the second and last wave for R2 applicants.

I am not expecting invite. I have screwed one of the essays.

Has any admits received access to the Welcome Website yet? It should be available by now since other schools provide their admitted students with immediate access to their admitted websites.

I asked the same question a couple of days ago. I think USC will be getting a phone call pretty soon.

I got one silly question. If it doesn't say in the letter about the scholarship, it means we don't get the scholarship right?

My guess (and hope) is just that they didn't personalize the binder and acceptance letter. We probably all got the same thing. I'm assuming later we'll know about financial aid. They probably just accepted us and didn't compute/decide on any of that yet.

My scholarship letter came with the binder. It was put in a separate envelope. At this point if you have not received a scholarship notification you are probably not getting anything. Needless to say, they might give you some money down the road if funds free up.

Also, as a point of reference, in the letter it says that only 30% of the candidates get fellowships. I think USC gives out scholarships by heavily weighing in the academic stats of the candidates (GPA and GMAT).

Does anyone have a sense as to what percentage of interview invites went out last Monday?

I'm assuming that if we do not receive an interview invitation by 5:00 p.m. PST tomorrow, we should consider this an unofficial ding.

Yeah that's what I thought with R1, except later I found out that I was put on the waitlist without an interview. So even if you don't hear back tomorrow there is still a chance.

How did they notify you that you were placed on the waitlist?

My application status still says "Submitted".

I thought everyone who gets in has to have interviewed?

I haven't heard anything about an interview or otherwise. Am I right to totally abandon hope? Do they notify you if you are on the waitlist? Or are you just supposed to wait until they change your status online?

Any updates about interview invitations? If I do not receive an invitation by 5.00 p.m. Feb. 15, does it mean I am rejected? Or there is still a chance?
