TTPB: I received my mail around 2:00 am L.A. TIME (PDT), stating that my decision is available on the youSC portal. It seems like they are only sending out rejections, cause I think its unlikely there will be another waitlist waiting for people to accept the non-deferral Fall 2020 option.

To the posters below. When did you receive your emails? What I really need right now is not an admission to the program, but a closure to my application. If I get in, good for me but I really want this stressful waiting period to be over.

Not much to add right. Waitlisting students to fill up Fall 2020 spots (not going to reopen this year anyway) but I guess they're playing those kind of games to keep the cash flow steady. Heads off to the admission committee and the accounting department for plotting this. Nevertheless, congratulations to the ones accepted and I hope everyone else has a plan B :) Best of luck!

They took 7 months to reject!

After 6 long months of nothing, got the rejection today. Never going to apply to this university nor recommend it to anyone as a first priority

+1 fu** you USC. It took you 6 months to reject an application. Hats off to the hard work by your admission committee.

Fuck you usc! So mean you people i have better uni than yours

TTPB. Did the staff say it applies only to international student? Are there any domestic applicant who received their result??

To the CS in Data Science below. Can you please tell me whom did you ask? Which email id?

To all international students who have received admits to USC AFTER being waitlisted, regardless of your program -- CS, EE, whatever -- you CANNOT defer to Fall 21 or Spring 21. The only option you have is to choose between Fall 20 in-person or online. And know this, they did this to fill Fall 20 seats as most Fall 20 admits have deferred to next year. Yes they dealt absolutely shitty, and fucking selfish cards, but that shows who they are. I hope you have learnt your lesson, and not apply here next year. They don't deserve another chance, and certainly not your money. Fuck you USC. All of my respect for this "great college" has turned to ashes.

TTPB - Seriously? Holy shit. What email id did you mail to? If this is true, it's terrible news

Finally got the result. I contacted USC about updating(defer) my admission for Fall 2021 and they replied saying that people who were waitlisted don't get to defer and that we need to reapply if we want to be considered for Fall 2021. I am not sure what decision I will make.

TTPB: I agree... that's wat I was saying. At this point they might only want couple of ppl, so it's really low chance to get admitted since so far no one get rejected

TTPB. No not yet. I'll post their response once I get a reply

TTPB : Hey did they reply anything on your mail? I still don't have any notifications :(
