Ignore the waitlist. I submitted my application solely through the USC Dornsife website portal and did not use the USC general website for submission. Can someone please confirm if this was the correct procedure? Should I have also used the USC application portal?

Asked the coordinator about the progress of application. He informed me that my application did not make it. I will get the official rejection email by the end of this month. He wrote a very personal nice email. Although feel bad about the rejection but it doesn't hurt because of the manner he wrote.
