germx what were your stats? I tried checking back but couldn't find them.

3.4, 169. Not a supreme splitter here, but who knows. God I hope USC isn't batching this one and was just sending out decisions in general.

one guy already confirmed that it was batches.

true, good luck! i was hoping these are acceptances though just to know that maybe USC would like some splitters...

[GermX]

He never showed us any e-mail or anything, he just made a random comments. Its possible that USC sent out some acceptances.

I'm going to guess it's a rejection batch, guys. I was W/L with a 3.54/169 and I wrote the extra essay and everything. They were my first choice, but with these admissions practices I'm starting to wonder what USC will be ranked in 3 years. This has to be the most idiotic admissions strategy available. If my GPA was 0.06 higher, and my LSAT 2 points lower, I'd have been an auto admit with a probable scholarship offer.

I don't know about that. I know that you said "probable" and not "certain," but not everyone with a 3.6 and a 167 has a scholarship offer. I was accepted (DF 3/9) with a 3.64 and a 167, but I received a letter on Tuesday informing me that I could go to Hell and pay sticker. USC was everything I wished for, and because I wasn't careful, I got it. All $210k of it. Just because you "should" have been accepted does not by any stretch mean that the university would have sent you a check, or that it even would have been likely to.

I will admit that your auto-admit theory--based on LSN, I presume--could be correct: I went DF on 3/9 after going IR on 2/24. Of course, my personal belief is that I am a beautiful and unique snowflake with a fantastic PS and LORs. But after seeing the horror that is the graph on LSN, I know that's probably not true.

SOOOO now we can move to the conversation of whether paying sticker is worth it.. I'm in same boat exactly as you

i would not hesitate at all paying sticker. too bad i won't get accepted though so my opinion is moot.

[keeptellingmethat]

I went IR on 3/30/10 and am still in IR. 171/3.46. Praying...

[dudders]

I was a DF 3/9er, accepted with 3.4/169. Sent in my USC financial aid app immediately, and got a letter today saying no scholarship or need-based grant aid, stay tuned for your loans letter. For the record, I made $23k last year so I'm not exactly sure who they consider to have "need," but whatever.

If I want $200k in loans, I'll go to GW. Still keeping my fingers crossed for any $$ from BU.

That half-tuition scholly from W&M is looking mighty good right now...

Still complete since 11/24 with a 166 3.53. Hanging on for dear life.

Anyone near the school thinking they'll get their letter today?

Doubt it. I know a lot about how the post office works and same day first class mail doesn't happen.

[Xizenta]

and you know they very rarely tell the truth. but fine, tomorrow then.

[RhubarbPie]

Have any Rothman invites not received a decision thus far (besides me)?

[ilovelawapps]

Hey did anyone receive confirmation they were put on the wl? The letter they sent states that they had to have our response by March 30th and I'm getting a little nervous lol.

[Foosters Galore]

Under review 3/31. Yay! The fact that I have made it roughly 48 hours without being told to kindly take my sorry ass elsewhere is more than enough. Now to sneak attack with a withdrawal. They'll never know what hit 'em. Hahahaha
