Sent in my UCLA and USC app at the same time. Complete at UCLA. Have heard absolutely nothing from USC. I USPS'd them my certification letter and haven't even gotten an e-mail saying they received my app. What is going on? This was like two weeks ago...

They had a problem with my app too. I would call them to make sure that everything is fine.

I sent them an email when I had a similar problem. They sent a quick response saying they sent out a complete email that apparently was not actually sent out or was eaten up by my evil yahoo account. They CCed the admissions dean in their response so I looked like a complete idiot...:/

[ughOSU]

mine went through fine, got conf. email like a day or two later

You can't spell "sucks" without USC. Go Cardinal.

I just got an "application complete" email. And I thought it had been complete all this time.

[soccersmo]

when did you apply... i put my app in on 11/3 and got a app recieved email the next day, but havent gone complete yet... i think I'm going to call tomorrow

2.99/176 here.

Would love to go, but it doesn't look like USC is splitter-friendly.

[ruleser]

Took about 3-4 weeks for me to go complete.

i submitted 6 nov & got an application received notice 9 nov, but have heard nothing since. do people seem to have more success calling or emailing to confirm everything is alright or should i just not bother (based on the way that some people that have taken initiative have been treated)?

An entertaining turn of events; I received a lovely viewbook and personal letter with fee waiver...two weeks after I applied. Had fun looking at the information, but I would have saved some money if I had taken the trouble to register sooner with the CRS on the LSAC site.

Dude, if those are your real stats on LSN, why are you even applying to USC, you'll be in a Harvard/Yale.

You can usually get your ap fee refunded if you contact the school after getting a fee waiver.

Especially since you apparently go to Stanford UG.

Hey wait, how did you surmise (correctly) that I go to Stanford?

Your LSN profile says you are in undergrad in California and that you go to a Top 5 school. There is only one Top 5 school in California. (I suppose CalTech could count too, but I can't imagine that many kids from CalTech go to law school. Plus your softs would indicate Stanford, not CalTech.) Also I went to Stanford.

Clever! Although I actually thought that residence was not university address but home address, which also happens to be CA in my case. I do rather doubt that many CalTechers go after a JD.

I applied 10/30 and got the app received email the same day.

I received an app received email on 11/06, but still no word on completion.

As another poster said, apparently it can take up to 3-4 weeks to go complete. I guess there's no use in contacting them yet...

[hhg]

just got the email that i'm complete. submitted 6 nov. for the curious, the email stated:

"The Admissions Committee will begin to review your application and once a decision is made, we will notify you immediately. The review process takes approximately 8-12 weeks. We only release decisions via postal mail; not over the phone or by email. If you have any questions during the process please do not hesitate to contact our office at 213-740-2523 or via email at [email protected]."

hopefully they're just being generous and will not take as long as they state to make their decisions!

Last year, it really did take 8-12 for them to get back to me. But I had applied much later in the cycle that time, so that may be why.

If you look on LSN it seems about right, 8-12 weeks to decision.

[CardinalRules]

I just wanted to let everyone know that as soon as I receive my acceptance letter from Harvard, which should be late next week, I will contact USC to withdraw my application. Hopefully, one of you will be able to take advantage of the additional spot. Best of luck!

[southxii]

You've been accepted? That would be interesting.

[imisscollege]

received oct 23. still no complete email. cause for concern?
