just waitlisted via email + status checker, 168, 3.67

Same numbers obviously like we talked about before and also waitlisted. So weird.

yeah, looking at numbers of other people who got in, this is really weird - like the GPA isn't stellar, but I really didn't think it would hurt me this much?

Offered a spot on the waitlist, turned it down and withdrew my application. 3.5/165. Somewhat surprised based on LSN, but I saw it coming after being under review since 1/9.

what the fuck is going on this cycle

They're choosing their final classes Hunger Games style apparently

[njdevils327]

This really, really sucks. This was supposed to be the fairly affordable southern california option for me. Now I didn't even get in.

I was literally like - USC will be my safety with money, and I'm a California resident so they know I want to go there. Now I'm personally offended

I'm serious. Is it a GPA thing? My safties became my regulars, regulars became waitlists, and reaches haven't even gotten back.

Honestly, I'm gonna say its a GPA thing, because my GPA isn't like horrifically low but for most schools I applied to I've gotten 7 waitlists, and of my 3 acceptances, one was surprising in comparison to the rest of my cycle and the other two were extreme safeties - but my LSAT was on par for most of the schools

[TheTaylor]

I have also been waitlisted, looks like a lot of us with good LSATs but average GPAs were pushed aside. 166 3.67. I was definitely surprised...

[cherrygalore]

Damn guys I'm sorry--this is really surprising.

[Assasindowntheavenue]

They're really pushing sharing your acceptance package on social media damn

yup they want you to show your love lol.

How so? Sorry I'm not on social media so I'm lost.

The acceptance packet has a sign that says USC Gould 2020 share this on social media. They want you to show your friends and family that you are happy by posting this.

Lmao that's lame.

For those WL today, did you guys apply late?

[njdevils327]

The LSAC site told me I had an 80-100 percent chance at USC. This is such BS

[imtca]

For those WL today, did you guys apply late?

I applied mid December, went in review first week of January that they were back in the office

[njdevils327]

Do you think this is their way of trying to skip out on giving merit aid, by admitting people who by all accounts should get merit aid after waitlisting them, just so they don't have to pay them?

[njdevils327]

For those WL today, did you guys apply late?

applied the day after December LSAT scores came back.

[fazzvm56]

Those of you that were waitlisted today, when did you go under review?

[goldenbear2020]

3.6x/167-168 has a ~90% admit rate over the past 5 cycles on LSN, so there's definitely something off about this cycle.

[Thomas Hagan, ESQ.]

Sorry to hear about all the WLs today Bracing myself for my WL email now

[texas95]

For those WL today, did you guys apply late?

Applied on Halloween. Under review since January 9.

[TakeItToTrial]

Waitlisted as well. Applied in November.

[Pugnax]

WL with a 169/3.7

In town for the UCLA admitted students day the other day so I figured id check out USC while I was out here. I was literally on campus walking around when I got the email after 3 months being UR hahah. Peace out USC.
