The same happened to me. I don't know if that is good or bad. Yikes.

URM with a 163 ain't no joke, though. You are competitive at a lot of places. Don't lose heart yet.

Thanks. I really hope my softs help me stand out. I'd hate to just rely on being a URM. It'd make me feel guilty

Has anyone had any luck negotiating scholarships?

Fuck... same for me! Going to USC would be a dream come true. I feel like it's at least a sign that after the original committee review they didn't go "fuck that" and throw it out. Or maybe now I'm just in denial XD

So it's occurred to me that I check my status checker more times per day than meals I eat and times I go to the bathroom combined.

UR (or Committee Read) 1 3/5, just went 2nd Read today. Not sure if that's unusually quick. Any sense?

Maybe now I stand a chance of getting in...

That's a pretty big gap between UCLA now. But USC is still one of my top choices. Small movements like one year's ranking are not things you should make a decision on. As long as the OCIs and employment numbers are there it will be on my list.

I went from two month complete to one week first review and now final. Hopefully a good sign.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure I got the acceptance email before the status checker even changed
