| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 9 May 2021 | | 9 May 2021 | - TTPB: Totally agree with you! I myself received a decision in June and that too Spring admit. Take my advice, don't waste any other admits you have. Be prepared with everything and incase you receive an admit late in June or so, take time and decide whether your visa process and all the other stuffs (finding roommates, fights, etc.) will be handled properly or not. I rejected my Spring admit and so did my friend who received fall admit because of the tight schedule. As far as I remember USC takes around 20 days to send you i20.
Focus on your skills and you will do great in whichever university you select!
Best of luck guys!

♦ | I | 9 May 2021 | - [ignore the waitlist]
TTPB: Exactly, to be the precise the last two lines.
Finally someone putting some realities on the table about the things being listed.
|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via POST on 9 May 2021 | | 9 May 2021 | - TTPB: This is the case every year with USC, last year I received admit in mid June and rejected it straight away. Some of my friends received admits for spring and some received admits/ rejects in July as well. You may blame it on deferrals but trust me this is the case every year, though I agree many seats may have been blocked by the deferrals.
A suggestion, as I have been through this in the past and have heard this from my seniors too - MOVE ON!!!
Don't let this ruin your other admits, start finding apartments as they increase the rents as the dates start approaching, worry about the visa slots, book your flights.
And as a MSCS students, start coding and learn new techstacks as USC won't give you jobs if you aren't capable. And you don't need USC if you are capable enough

| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 9 May 2021 | | 9 May 2021 | - Ignore waitlist: I read on some discord group that someone contacted the Viterbi office and some Indian officials of Viterbi office. According to them, if you haven't received any updates till now, it is advised to move on with other admits. Most seats are filled up and according to them every university gives out more admits then their capacity, so there are less chances of admits now. Though, seats may get vacant in June and July and they may give decisions even at that time or give out springs admits. Less scope of admits now.
Considering the current visa havoc in India, it isn't advisable to wait now if you are planning to join this fall as this may hamper your other admits as well.
Tough luck guys!
All the best to everyone!

| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 1 Jan 2021 | | 8 May 2021 | - any whatsapp groups for MS CS Fall 2021? Please share the link, thanks !
|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 8 May 2021 | | 8 May 2021 | - Ignore Waitlist: I guess it's time to move on now. Almost mid-may in a week, and now people with good pointers are also being rejected. Better start worrying about visa slots and other necessary stuff and don't waste the current admit.
Again, I have heard being a cashcow, they even give admits in June and July, but the current visa scenario is not worth the wait.
Accepted in equally good university.
All the best to everyone!

| University Of Pennsylvania | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 8 May 2021 | | 8 May 2021 | - (Not waitlisted) - TTPB: Congrats! Did you get accepted earlier in the day and for which program?
To the person who hasn't heard back: I haven't either for a different program. Was supposed to by May 7.

|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 7 May 2021 | I | 7 May 2021 | - TTPB: I don't want to name any college names here but trust me when I say most of the 7 cgpa folks are not from top tier colleges. I can go on for hours debating this but really we are not talking about comparing apples to apples here. Cashcow? True. Fair admissions process? Nah. USC doesn't really care about tier from my observations on all forums (Indian and Chinese included). Someday we may see in the news how those folks got in and it won't be good news.
TTPB about DOB: That sucks, I had a similar situation which delayed my review and it took them 4 months to even look at my profile to find that out.
|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 7 May 2021 | I | 7 May 2021 | - This is for everyone waiting for their admits. I received a response from the school saying my USC ID has not been created as the DoB mentioned on my application was wrong. This after 4 months. I updated my DoB and now waiting for USC ID so that I can at least see my status. Will provide updates when I receive them.
|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 7 May 2021 | | 7 May 2021 | - TTPB: Those 7cgpa students are from tier 1 and tier 2 colleges and with exceptional profiles, for the rest colleges, USC is highly gpa centric. But USC being cashcow won't spare a single seat and roll out admits even in June and July every year. So hardcore USC fans and 9+ pointers can keep waiting if they can manage the visa interviews with just emergency slots open. Also, almost all the consulates have cancelled visa slots till may end. and during this pandemic, consulates won't open in full capacity.
|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Interview via E-mail on 6 May 2021 | I | 6 May 2021 | - TTPB: Then how can we justify 10-15 people getting accepted with 7.4s and 7.2s and one on Yocket with 67%! Wow. For such a gpa centric school, I am surprised by some of these admits and rejects.
|
| University Of Southern California | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 6 May 2021 | O | 6 May 2021 | - I’m extremely sorry for using the word Insider Information and causing the confusion. I just made that statement based on the admission results reported by others so far. First they rejected everyone below 8, then 8.5 and then almost everyone below 9 last week. All these rejects were during weekend. I think we just have to accept the fact that competition is high this year and move on with other admits.

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 6 May 2021 | U | 6 May 2021 | - [Ignore WL) So I applied to the MS CS program before the first priority deadline in early January. Today it has been nearly 5 MONTHS and still no updates whatsoever from Columbia. I emailed admissions but just got an email saying they were unable to respond to individual inquiries regarding application status... Honestly for a prestigious school like Columbia, this is completely unacceptable and disrespectful toward applicants
