I think you would at least be waitlisted

3/2ish... sorry can't remember exact date. Hoping I get the happy letter tomorrow so my trip to mammoth for the wkend is that much more enjoyable! Hope others get the same! What a rough cycle (seemingly) Some amazing candidates WL'd and dinged.

I had a 3.67 and a 167, and I was admitted a few weeks ago.

USC = Unusually Slow Committee

My going theory on 166 is that someone on the adcomm had a traumatic incident with the number since last cycle and can't bring him or herself to look at our applications

Haha, does your theory hold for 168ers too?

Although my theory is based on the gaping hole on LSN for 166ers, I think it might hold true for certain areas of 168 without much data (e.g. 3.3-3.6). Possibly it's just certain number combinations that put the adcomms on edge. Maybe they're numerologists and we've inadvertently given them the numerological equivalent of the finger??

I just. don't. know.

I hope we both are. (Fingers crossed, just because there's nothing else I can do at this point.)

Or maybe these unholy number combinations offend their pagan deities.

Looks like the 3/5 DF batch was indeed the rejected batch. Just got my letter today.

I just got an email from the financial aid office requesting more information. It has a USC ID on it. Anyone else? I assume this means I'm in.

Edit: I spoke too soon. I couldn't login to fill out the supplemental form. Weird.

Went DF 3/9 and just got an email about financial aid. No letter yet...any guesses?

I think you're in if they sent you a USC ID#. Congrats!
