USF 2011-2012 Applicants Forum

[mieri]

Good luck to everyone applying now!

I emailed USF to ask if they offered travel stipends for ASW; they said they didn't. Ah well.

Tried negotiating my scholarship and it was declined. It remains for one year only.

Was told that top 5% get 2L and 3L scholarships =(

[mieri]

Well, I guess that's incentive to do well for those of us who attend... 5%'s pretty high though.

Decision rendered this morning, but no email. It also said decision letter sent under mailings. Did everyone receive an email if they got accepted/rejected? I was thinking it may be a waitlist. Any shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I am waiting for my email as well. I just checked at 1 and it said decision rendered but no email yet.

Hmmm... well at least we're not alone! My numbers are around their 25% so I was thinking maybe a waitlist.

For those of you who have already been accepted, do you have deposit numbers/dates in the fee section of the status checker?

Nope. But 2nd email changed to a usfca.edu one.

My email changed to a usfca.edu one too. No seat deposits either. I guess they are snail mailing decisions these days.

I do not have anything under fees still.

My email changed to a usfca.edu address too. Don't know when it changed, but it is definitely there.

I got accepted and it took them literally all day to email me. Decision rendered happened around 8 and I got an email at 7:29 PM and then a phone call at 7:30 form the Dean congratulating me on my scholarship offer.

Yes, and the person in the admission office said I will be either notified by email or snail mail. If by snail mail it will take 2 days if I am in California..east coast a week. It sounds like acceptance letters are through email, though. I emailed them as well and the admissions assistant just emailed me saying I would receive a letter through the mail so it doesn't sound like good news.

[mieri]

I hope you guys hear good news soon! Hopefully they're just snail-mailing acceptances now, instead of doing double duty.

Decision Rendered 2/7, it's killing me not knowing - hopefully I'll get e-mail by the end of the day?
157/3.05 but my degree is in Engineering Physics and I want to do Cyber Information Law, so hopefully that will help... that and the fact that I currently work in IP Litigation...

You're probably in or waitlisted at worst. I believe WL is US mail. They're pretty quick at mailing decisions, so 2 days in CA sounds right.

I appreciate the vote of confidence - still waiting to hear back, for the record GGU accepted me with a full ride, so I'm kinda hoping that's a nice predictor for at least accepted. I'd prefer USF what with being ranked higher.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. GGU gave me a great offer, but I think I would choose USF even if I'm waitlisted.

Waitlisted, going to send a LOCI within the next week. Good luck to everyone else.

[pillowpet]

a week is a bit soon to be sending a LOCI, in my opinion. i would hold off a few weeks and then send one. Maybe with something new that has occurred, such as new grades, new job, etc. Or visit the school, sit in a class, and talk to a professor or students and then build that into your loci.

Thanks for the input. I will probably do something along those lines.

I applied on 11/30 and have had my status updated a few times, the most recent being 1/17. I was sent an email from USF this morning and while I was excited to see it, it turned out to be the school urging me to apply. Great organizational schools USF haha. Anyone else get this?

[Geekolover]

For those that have been accepted, when are your seat deposits due? Just wondering when they may be taking people from the waitlist. Thanks!
