Applied today!

Waiver info: I emailed them today to solicit one, they said anyone who applies by Dec. 31st is waived!

[Attax]

Anyone else have "incomplete" on their status claiming you haven't paid for the application?

[gobears!!]

I applied with a CRS waiver. Been complete since 11/5. The worst part about the whole thing....I have been emailed about my application so I know it has been looked at and have not had any changes.

Me too, but I received an email saying it was complete. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm surprised USC hasn't made any decisions yet.

They are sending completes earlier than last year though.

Same. As of this morning, I was still complete. I never had a "Committee 1st Read." Any idea what this means or if it's good/bad?

Either did I. I dont think its bad thats for sure, I think some get 1st and some get 2nd. If anyone else can shed some light that would be great.

Also went from verifying completion to committee second read, throughout the course of the day.

[ThePiedPiper]

In Committee 1st Read. Not sure what that means.

[applelover]

I was just updated to "Committee 2nd Read" too!

I haven't checked my status checker for USC in weeks but mine says that now too. Date: 12/2

I guess with their medians they feel they won't have trouble keeping in them if they are not sending out early acceptences.

[Yea All Right]

Complete 11/19
Status 12/5: Committee 2nd Read

This webpage provides explanations of all the statuses: http://weblaw.usc.edu/how/jd/onlineappl ... status.cfm

Good luck to everyone applying!

[pcthenls]

12/10 committee first read!!! App received 10/28.

So, we are assuming that there are two reads, then decision?

ok. Read this. Answered my own question. Thanks guys for posting since I never made it all the way down the status checker page before.

According to the website, it seems like some applicants can even get four reads (preliminary, #1, #2, and final). Not sure though.

[gobears!!]

Went complete early november and have not heard anything since. Still no review
This is going to be a very long cycle for me across the board

[maple22]

Just applied today! But I realized I forgot to include my high school info on the education section. Should I call/email the adcom to add this or is it not a big deal?

Every time I have omitted the high school section in an application that requires it, I get a notification that I can't complete the page. Does USC say it's mandatory? If not, no need to include it.
