Me too--sounds like they are making calls right now. I feel like at 5pm I will either be ecstatic or devastated.

They did. I applied through The Consortium, and was offered a Consortium Fellowship. I was told that the admissions and fellowship information will come in the welcome binder, coming in a few weeks.

It probably would be. lol

They're just a little behind on make calls and updating statuses. I'm betting they'll be done by the end of this week, though.

I just received an email saying I can expect a packet with information within 2 weeks.

It also said: "If you are selected for a scholarship, there will be a scholarship letter in your admit packet. We will not offer this information over the phone or via email."

Deposit due date: 5/1

Hope this helps...!

I love you USC but you're driving me kind of crazy...


FOR EVERYONE THAT'S ONLY CHECKING USConnect... CHECK YOUR APPLICATION PAGE.

Online Application Page: "Congratulations on your admission to the Fall 2015 Full-time MBA Program (MBA) program! You will be receiving your admission letter in the mail shortly. "

USConnect: One or more of your applications is currently under review, so a decision has not yet been posted. Please check back periodically for an update.


Side note: Didn't receive a call or an email as of yet. Acceptance letter dated 3/14 no idea when it was actually uploaded.

Do you guys know in what order they are updating us? Is it alphabetical maybe? I interviewed end of February so it can't be updated based on the latest interview... I'm also refreshing my app page like every minute.. I wish they sent out emails like all the other schools!

i have nothing to justify my guesses below... but...

i'm guessing that the application decisions are evaluated in one of the two following ways:
1) random
2) stronger candidates are accepted first, then they see if they have room for progressively weaker candidates.

though... one thing that doesn't make sense about #2 of my own guesses above is that last year, there were rejections even on the 1st and 2nd day of decisions. so who knows.

I really doubt its the latter especially since they are understaffed. I do not think they have the luxury of sorting and sending it in descending order especially when there has been no word on scholarships in the online admit letter.
