Received an email just now saying I have been placed on a waitlist and will be notified about my admission decision by July 1st. People who plan on not attending USC please officially reject your offers!

Group Link for Spring \'21 MSCS admits t.me/joinchat/FqpiyBjSIJy-Aj-iiS2Afg

Ttpb: I saw that many students were rejected back in feb and march, based on yocket. I personally think that whoevers left now is on a waiting list. Plus one more thing, the program deadlines have been extended to june 30. Just saw it on the viterbi grad admission page, maybe thats the reason for the tardiness

Scientists and Engineers

TTPB: My application status is pending as well. From the general trend on gradcafe it seems that the status of Data Science specialization is pending. I have written to USC as well. But, I did not get a reply.

Any Applied Data Science applicants left here? haven't recieved a decision yet, applied back in december. I've emailed the viterbi grad department 3 times, and they haven't even responded to one of my emails. I thought USC was one of the competent universities but my assumption is turning out to be wrong.

I applied for fall admission but was accepted for the spring. The waiting period was very frustrating. I submitted my application on 1/31. I applied to 9 other schools and was required to accept or decline all of my other offers of admission by 4/15. It wasn't until a month later that I heard from USC. There was no communication from the school during that period regarding when I could expect a decision, so I could not have even considered this offer. I was admitted to other highly ranked programs, including Berkeley and Cornell, so I would not have accepted anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TTPB: Yup for Fall 2020. Their site is showing different enrollment options because of COVID19.

TTPB: Congrats!! Did you get offer for Fall not Spring?

AI at Viterbi - surprised since I hadn't heard back since I applied. Good luck to those waiting, looks like there are still spots.

I'm still waiting too, applied to Applied Data Science Masters. Applied on 15-dec-2019. can you guys please share your profiles? Mine is : GRE:310 (162q + 147v) GPA: 81% 3rd position undergrad: bs in cs work Experience: 1 year good LORS and SOP

I am also still waiting. Submitted on 12/15/2019. Honestly considering just demanding a refund at this point.

TTPB: Yep, still waiting..Idk how much more time do they need, it's been 5 and a half months. I can feel my bones fossilizing already.

Same here. The last admit post on gradcafe last year was on 22 May. But it was a Spring offer though

Anyone else still waiting? Last day of this week is coming up... and it's already half way through May. I emailed grad office and received a reply that my application is still in review.

I just recieved a mail notifying me of the admit. I have 1 paper and I think decent LORs. Waiting for British Columbia to make a final decision.

Data science, applied to Fall 2020, got 2021 Spring admit.

Same here. Still received nothing from USC. If it doesn't send me decision before mid May, I'll accept another offer.
