Based on that chart, I'd say they're about a month behind.

[twinkletoes16]

So when's the earliest we will start hearing back? February? March?

Last year's graph. Looks like we could see a big wave in mid-late December.

this thing is a shitshow and completely unrelated to this cycle it seems. there's been ~50ish acceptances so far?


There should be a HUGE wave first week of February then? aka....NEXT WEEK?!

Wow. I was wrong...there are close to 70 on LSN. Maybe this cycle isn't that far off...

[JayJones78]

From the graph it appears that next week wil be the game changer

[Ramius]

USC, you're killing me. Complete 11/16, first read since 1/14...the tortoise doesn't always win the race.

Yeah I had no idea it was that many. I guess we just don't have a whole lot of LSN people posting, or maybe just a lot of lurkers.

I've been on 2nd read since 12/3 with numbers over the 75% medians. USC was incredibly high on my list early in the cycle, but the languid pace of their decisions is maddening. I expected to get yanked around by Berkeley, but this just seems silly.

While I definitely think you'll get in with the numbers on your profile, just wanted to point out that USC's 75% for c/o 2015 was 168/3.8

[KingFish]

[Jonathk1]

Just got "Decision Finalized"....no email was sent though. Anyone know the typical wait time till you hear or what to anticipate?

[bob loblaw11]

Thank you for the very awkward acceptance via admitted student's portal USC!

[bob loblaw11]

I think the emails are coming, guys. I was "In Final Review" as of two hours ago and just received an email now.

thanks! my only concern now is if i'm in/if this means i'm out of the running for rothman or if this is all working independently of it.


ETA: ADMITTED!!!!

I'm 3.6x/169 so at the very least you're in (and congrats!) as I was not even contacted for the Rothman. And good luck, I hope this is working independently of it!
