Yeah Rs are usually Fridays
hi! Do we know how long it takes to go UR -> decision finalized?
18:35
i've been UR for 7 weeks TT
oh that's a fun wait lmao
"Review often can take several weeks." Under review since November.
Why were there so few acceptances for USC on LSD last cycle compared to others
Last year less than 100, this year over 170 (in line with other years)
USC did a big wave on Friday of this week last year...
E wave

is USC mostly done with its A's?
9:23
Just got an email!!
9:24
...from Capital One reminding me how much I owe from all those application fees. #fml
USC is mostly done simply by virtue of the fact that they' ve gone through a majority of applicants
but not that their class is full
I don't know about that. I applied in November and only went in review a couple of weeks ago
amlaw
9:24
yes i definitely don't think they're anywhere near done with the majority of applications
amlaw

9:25
If you look at their applicants on here, they've clearly rendered decisions to a majority of applicants already
Ijustwannagetinman
9:25
Doesn't mean they've close to being done! But def looks like they've reviewed 60%+ of applications received :)
