Insider Information: All students whose GPA is less than 9.3 especially those from Tier2/Tier3 colleges will receive a rejection mail either this weekend or next weekend.

Ignore waitlist. Is it worth waiting for USC now? It will be almost mid-may in a week. There's huge issue of visa slots in India, and once the slots open up for june or july, people will book them asap. Also, USC takes a month's time after you submit your financial docs to issue an i20. So that means it will almost be mid june by the time i20 is issued, so we cannot even book emergency slots by then. They don't even reply to mails properly. Stop playing with the mental health of students, there's already a lot going on in India. Just release the decisions quickly.

TTPB: (ignore waitlist) I haven't heard back either, but luckily I have other acceptances from similar tier schools. I hear Viterbi is notorious for sending out late decisions due to application volume. So yeah, still waiting. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

TTPB: (ignore interview).. nope no news at all.. so many people already got their accceptances and rejections.. not sure why USC ghosted us ..

No response yet. The waiting is killing me. I know other people from different departments at USC have not also received any response. I don't what they are doing. This is not right

Anyone hear anything today?

Rejected from M.Eng EECS (Data Science). This was the last place I was waiting for and I've been officially rejected from all programs I've applied to now (including my own alma mater). Stats: GPA: 3.7/4.0 in EE (with all foundational CS coursework + upper div CS electives in ML, AI, Databases, OS, Networks, Compilers, etc.) from a top 20 US university, GRE: 334/340 (168Q, 166V, 5.0W). Looks like CS masters programs really hate EE undergrads...

Got notified of my rejection through email today from the MEng program. Was on the waitlist earlier.

(I'm who was admitted to Engineers and Scientists). My first degree was in engineering however I'm enrolled in a cs post bacc program.

TTPB rejected from Data Science : what was your undergrad major and stats? If you were not CS, makes sense why the CSDS program transferred you to the CS for Scientists.

Did any of you guys apply to multiple Viterbi programs and not hear back from all of them?

I think I'm accepted. Rejected from DS but considered for Engineers and Scientist. Received an email to accept my admission by May 10th but never received an official offer of admission.

TTPB: (ignore waitlist) how do you know that we are on waitlist? are you just guessing? waiting is so painful.

Are there people who applied before December 15th and are still waiting. This is so frustrating. Any idea why it's taking so long to hear from them?

Yes, I'm from UT Austin. BSa in Computer Science with a 3.52. Didn't take the GRE, had one internship at a F500 company doing web SWE work and a lot of misc. things like hackathons and projects. I didn't get any email from USC and kept checking my portal... strangely it says the decision was sent May 1 but I only saw it update for me today (May 3).

TTPB from top 10 large state school - mind sharing your stats please? by any chance are you from UT Austin undergrad?

TTPB: can you guys/girls share when you got the email from usc to check?

Applied jan 12 with software engineering internship, fresh out of undergrad

Finally!!! The wait was insane. Applied just before final deadline in January. ~3.5 from large state school in ~top 10 CS programs, internship. Signed up for DEN@Viterbi.

TTPB: what time did you get the email? Stats and date of applying?
