I got mine 4:23pm PT but I was able to see the decision on the status checker like an hour before the email came in
I’m so confused with usd. And kind of put off that it’s taking them this long.

@DiligentSmoggyFlamingo: yeah its so annoying
how long wereu guys in review before hearing anything
Can’t believe I’ve still heard nothing back…
@DiligentSmoggyFlamingo: Do you have C&F issues?
@DiligentSmoggyFlamingo: Wow. It is weird they haven't gotten back to you yet.
like 3 months for a decision
Been in review since May 2nd. Will I be hearing back soon??

I applied late Jan to PT program and still nothing back. It still as incomplete
Its almost June, should I send a letter of continued intereest. I have options but really love San Diego
but deposits arew due soon\
@WheresMySonNemo: Are you waitlisted or still awaiting decision?
@WheresMySonNemo: I think the general advice i've seen is don't send a LOCI unless you've been waitlisted. There is a good chance you'll receive a decision after June1st when they get a rule of thumb on class size. May not be a bad idea to shoot their office an email and see if you can get a rough timeline. I've had nothing but positive and timely responses when interacting with them
@WheresMySonNemo: FYI, USD only takes LOCIs if you've been Waitlisted!
Okay thanks for letting me know. Just been in review for awhile
Might send an email regarding timeline thank you
@WheresMySonNemo: Goodluck Marlin
Anyone apply for the Admitted Students Scholarship?
18:17
Predatory scholarships here lol
@Seattleslew: How so?
@Seattleslew: Curve isn't too crazy and conditioanlity is just to stay top 75%.. not the best but not predatory...
