Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB who got admit from USC, were you on waitlist prior to getting the admit.

ttpb: Congrats on your admit! did you receive any email on 14th an the decision was posted today?

Was frequently checking the website (a couple of times everyday) and this time there was a notification. Although the date says 14th May, the decision wasn't there yesterday. Best of luck everyone.

TTPB: So this majority by June sounds so much similar to their update saying majority decisions by April end! What about finding roommates and housing (As I've seen many people have already booked their apartments). What about emergency visa slots? With the other admit I have, I'll be eligible to apply for that by 15th June and I am still not able to find a single slot for that purpose since 1 week. So, I'll even have to wait for the final i20 of USC. I submitted my financial documents but when I contacted them, they said they'll just add it to my application and once I get an admit, they'll take upto 2 weeks to verify them and after that a week to get an i20. While the people who already have USC's i20 will be eligible to apply for emergency slots by 10th June. DAMNNNN IT!!! With this reputation, the management really sucks there! This really shows how highly they regard the international students are willing to pay lakhs of rupees to study over there.

Contacted one of the viterbi officials today. He said they'll try and release majority of waitlist decisions by 1st june as and when people drop their seats. But they can even release the decisions in June and July as they've kept the deposit deadline as 2nd June. Tbh, narrow chances of admit and no point waiting more as the embassies aren't opening much visa slots since past 10 days. Hardly a few could get one slot and even the emergency slots would be affected.

TTPB with DOB error: Congrats on getting in. Mind sharing stats for the hundreds of us waitlisted and nervous?

This is an update on my application which was not processed as the DoB was wrong. I received a notification on 11th May that my USC ID was created, and today (13th May) that I have received an offer and need to submit financial docs. Funny situation. They took 4 months to start reviewing and 2 days to review. Anyways, everyone who's still waiting please contact the office to ensure that your application has been reviewed at least. Good luck!

TTPB: Great bro! I was in a similar situation 2 years back. NCSU vs USC. Got a waitlist email in April I suppose and told to wait till May end and got a reject in June. Ended up getting remaining courses only as I didn't pay deposit till the end. Ended up paying almost 450$ for a shared room in Raleigh where one could find shared room at $250. Was not able to fin roommates for almost half a month. And lastly, ended up paying almost 90k for flight ticket.

Thanks to the seniors for giving a heads up to move on for now. I was checking gradcafe since past few days and all I could see was move on. A very big thank you to all of them. I started with visa process already. I checked for roommates for other university and found almost 90% people already had their groups ready and told me to wait until they fins extra space. In last 3 days I asked like 50 people and the answer was the same - "We already have a group". Lucky enough to find a guy, now we both have to find people and then search for apartments. This is gonna be a task :(. Could only imagine the situation if I would have waited till June. My advise to everyone, don't just blindly wait, it's already high time now. You might end up screwing your other admit as well. Getting admit in June and then upto 3 weeks time to get an i20. There aren't any slots for visa and delaying the process will fuck us more. Emergency slots won't open in full capacity.

Was waitlisted like everyone else but already accepted offer to much higher ranked/prestigious program. Emailed them to let them know to withdraw my application from the waitlist. I hope those who's only hope left is USC get the spot. Good luck

A sincere and humble request for the people who are accepted and not planning on attending USC. Please surrender your seats back so that people like me who are counting only on USC will have a chance

TTPB: Totally agreed! They're waitlisting students around mid may? Seriously? They've been doing this for years. I'd put it this way, this waitlist shit is just so that people don't move on from USC. They've waitlisted everyone till 1st June and gave the deposit deadline to the admitted students as 2nd june, then what about the seats left after 2nd june? They'll again waitlist. I'd suggest please don't blindly wait for USC till June, they release admits in June and July as well. Start with the process of other university. This cashcow won't spare a single dime!

So, usc is playing waitlist game again. Last year they sent ke mail somewhere around April 30, that I've been waitlisted and would receive a decision by 20th May. Still, I got a reject on 16th June. This year too, they've kept the decision deadline as 2nd June, then how tf are they planning to give decisions by 1st June? And if they are sure of the seats, they should might as well roll out decisions now!!! God forbid this cashcow! Won't advise people below 9.3 to apply over here

TTPB: Congrats to you for getting into a higher ranked school! Email Viterbi to withdraw your application from consideration for others who are waiting to get in and attend! Thank you!
