Does anyone else have this notification underneath their application status?

Reminder: If you haven't already, please submit all necessary test scores and supplemental materials, and check this screen for any updates/changes to your application status. Once your application is complete, a decision will be rendered according to the decision notification schedule for the program to which you have applied.

I have already interviewed and was never contacted about missing test scores...

I've been admitted and that status still hasn't changed. A link will appear at the bottom of that page stating that a decision is available. Good luck!

How was this communicated to you?

there was a link under "application status:submitted"

"Thank you for your interest in attending the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California. After review of your application, the Admissions Committee has decided to place you on the wait list.

The Admissions Committee evaluates applications for admission to our program from a large number of highly qualified candidates, and each application is given careful consideration. The criteria used in the evaulation process represent a range of both qualitative and quantitative measures. These include academic performance, professional accomplishments, and the personal attributes discussed in your application package.

Although we think highly of your profile and your potential fit with our program, we are unable to offer you admission at this time. You may supplement your application with additional information that you decide is relevant and helpful to our evaluation (this is not a requirement for further consideration). If you choose not to remain on the waitlist we ask that you inform us of your decision so that we can better serve those who do maintain this status.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Again, we appreciate your interest in attending the USC Marshall School of Business."

Alright, USC decided to pleasantly surprise me. I had given up on USC after put on wait list and was gearing up to go to Georgetown. I hadn't checked the application page of USC. I got the admission packet delivered to home yesterday.

I got admit with 50% fellowship.

Congratulations! So there is hope for people on the waitlist and 50% tuition waiver! Great!

Even I have been waitlisted. Please share how you were successful in converting from the waitlist. Any additional docs?

Hi s1ngular1ty r u still waiting to hear from them? i am wondering how long i should wait... !

I am still waiting in spite of sending updated documents. So the wait will be long. Applied in Oct '10. I am disappointed the way the WL has been handled frankly. No updates and no responses to mail. The size of the WL too is unknown. I would advise having a Plan B ready.

Planning to call them up today.

Give them a call asap and ask them about the WL. Mostly the size of the WL. That is the best option.

I have admits from 2-3 other schools but will be headed to Babson mostly.

I just found out that I have been Waitlisted too. I guess it is better than a ding, but now I am on two waitlists with no outright admits. :-(

Still waiting...though originally I wasn't worrying about USC decisions until today since they had told me during my on-campus interview/visit that they would not release anything until April 1st.

But of course with the updates on this thread since last Monday, been anxiously waiting for email/phone call/mail the past 2 weeks now...

I know some people mentioned getting their admit notice in the mail without even getting a phone call/email.

Which form of mail did USC use for U.S. candidates and how many actually received their admit via mail with no phone call/email notification?

Thanks! Good luck to everyone else waiting today!

Anyone considering USC and UVA Darden?
