Okay, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for college responses. For those familiar, when does USC typically send their likely letters? Are they a good sign of being admitted and do ALL admitted students get them, or just a select few? Just curious about my chances here!
Hey there! I can imagine how you're feeling with all the anticipation. My child went through this just last year. From what I remember, USC doesn't traditionally send out likely letters like some Ivy League schools do. If you hear something early from them, it might just be certain scholarship notifications, which could be a positive indicator.
Likely letters in general are pretty rare and only a handful of students receive them; they're not sent to all admitted students. They're definitely a good sign if you get one, as they suggest the school is very interested in you.
But don't worry if you don't receive one – it doesn't mean you won't be admitted! Stay positive, and keep an eye on your inbox as admission decisions start rolling out. Best of luck – the wait can be tough, but hang in there!
