Rejected via portal folks! Dear Bah Bah Bah, I am writing in regard to your application for admission to graduate study at the University of Southern California. After careful review of your application and supporting materials, the Admission Committee has asked me to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the Doctor of Philosophy program in Literature and Creative Writing for Fall 2026. We understand this must be very disappointing news. Please bear in mind that each year the university receives applications from many more students than it can accommodate. Admissibility is determined by the size of the applicant pool as well as student credentials. Unfortunately, as a result we are not able to offer admission to some students of significant ability and potential. We encourage you to continue to work toward your educational and professional goals, and wish you every success in your future endeavors. Sincerely, you.usc.edu Timothy E. Brunold Dean of Admission

Like in past years, they released the decision at 1 AM Pacific Time/4 AM Eastern Time! Congrats to everybody who was accepted. I'm surprised they took so long to get back to us because their apps were due December 1, but I'm just glad to know now.

What's the point of sending out a rejection at 3 AM, APRIL 10TH? :) Registering for a university account to see the rejection is just absurd.

Man... What's the point of sending out rejections at 3 AM, EST, APRIL 10TH??? 凸^-^凸

Terrible program, completely lacking in credibility. I interviewed two weeks ago and they told me the result will be available in two days, but I received updates until today. They gave me offer at 12:00 pm (EST) and recommended me to accept it soon (although in the email they said the offer will be kept until 4.15). I would like to decline it, but when I log in the portal at 7:00 pm EST, the offer was rescinded and became waitlist again, it is still afternoon in California at the time! A 7-hour offer, what are they doing? I emailed them that I will decline. Glad that I didn't accept this offer.
