Hold on- they expect you to confirm/deny offers without funding info?

April 30th is the deadline to confirm your decision whereas 22nd is the deadline for scholarship info. Although technically a week before the deadline, it’s still way too late for many students out there. And very weird to not follow any of the dates they mentioned in their website.

Hi Saaurya, As for confirming our decision, majority of people were given access to confirming the decision on the you.usc.edu portal. I suggest writing to the adcom to get that access. As for scholarships, wait till 22nd; no other go.

They don’t reply. Done that already.

I’m at R2 applicant but I was interviewed just 2 days before the decisions deadline of 31st March for some reason. My interviewer said that they won’t be able to give me a decision by the R2 decisions deadline but they’ll send it within 1.5 weeks. It has been 1.5 weeks and I haven’t heard from them yet.

I had my interview 2 days after the deadline (R2) and got my admittance letter yesterday almost at midnight Pacific Time. You will probably get it this week. Good luck!

Hi,
I recently received an email to view the decision status through the USC portal, even though I had already received an acceptance decision email on March 31st. However, the decision status on the portal did not mention anything about scholarships. I am wondering if the university will send a new email regarding scholarship decisions, or if this message is the only representation of our scholarship decision. Thank you.

Hi dear, the same happened with me, what we need to do? is that being final decision, or should we wait until 22nd of April as they promised to announce scholarship?

Hello BhawanaBhardwaj,

Hope you are doing well.

Generally, the school will guide you on the next steps involved in getting a visa ( I-20 process etc); if you are looking for assistance that is very specialized in nature, it would be best to get a professional visa consultant on board.

All the best!

Hey, BhawanaBhardwaj,

Thank you for your question!
Firstly, Congratulations on getting admitted! 
 
Now, after admission, you need to apply for the F1 Visa for an MBA in the USA. Here’s a condensed version of the F1 Visa application process for studying in the USA,

- Receive Form I-20: Obtain Form I-20 from your SEVIS-approved U.S. school confirming your admission.
- Pay SEVIS Fee: Pay the $350 SEVIS I-901 fee online and save the confirmation receipt.
- Complete the DS-160 Form: Complete the DS-160 form on the U.S. Department of State’s website and print the confirmation page.
- Schedule Visa Interview: Book your visa interview via the U.S. embassy or consulate’s website in your home country.
- Pay Visa Application Fee: Pay the $160 visa application fee as instructed.
- Gather Required Documents: Compile documents such as your passport, DS-160 page, Form I-20, fee receipts, passport-size photos, academic records, test scores, financial proofs, and a statement of purpose.
- Attend Visa Interview: Go to the embassy or consulate for your interview, bringing all required documents.
- Await Visa Decision: Wait for the decision after the interview; if approved, receive your visa via courier or follow additional instructions if more processing is needed.

Yea sure no problem, I’m not at my computer right now

it’s 3000 usd, I recall if you go to that sketchy (lol)

Usc.you site , the one that you can view your letter if you click on statement of intention it’ll bring you to some payment page.

Again I could’ve recalled wrongly I’ve to check again

Deposit needs to be paid by April 30.
As per current students, tuition is paid semester-wise. The deadline for the first payment for Fall’24 is 23rd Aug this year.
