ESSAY ANALYSIS https://blog.clearadmit.com/2012/10/usc ... 2012-2013/ https://blog.accepted.com/2012/10/11/us ... ines-tips/

All R1 applicants were notified of their decision on the published decision date. If admission behavior in the first round is any indication of that in the second, you are going to have to sit tight for just a few more days until Friday 4/5/13.

Applied for admission Round 2 and interviewed on March 13th. When can Round 2 applicants expect their statuses to be updated on Friday? I'm starting to get really really nervous!

Waitlisters were contacted beginning around 8AM PST with acceptances starting to roll out in the late morning (no ding reports). I didn't receive a call until 2PM PST with others contacted even later into the evening. Refer to pages 6-8 of this thread for a Round 1 decision date play-by-play.

I just got the papers for Admitted Student Weekend. Is anyone going? Is it worth attending? Anyone have any feedback?

Thanks! Actually I did check 2012 Fall R2 and there wew some calls coming out earlier than decision date ( then 4.1 ). Just realize that I really have raised my expectations...
