I'm waiting for the decision too.
I'm tired for waiting.....

In 2006, one of my friend received the admission on Feb 14th.
In 2007, a blogger received the adimission on Feb 2nd.
I hope these will help.

The email from them says the decision will be sent out beginning in Feb. So i guess we can start to expect for it.
by the way, did everyone applying USC send financial support (bank statement) with your application? isn't it a bit unusual for school to ask for it before admission?

Indeed. i called them today to delay my submission of financial document and they are ok with it. i was caught up by the current financial markets' turbulence and couldn't get my funds in the bank in time...

anyway, they say we should start to hear the decisions shortly. good luck :)

Hi,
I've just received an e-mail from USC, untitled "USC Law's Extensive Course Offerings", and stating:

"Thank you for applying to USC Law School’s LL.M. program. Your application is currently being reviewed by our admissions committee. We appreciate your continued interest in USC Law!
I understand from your application file that you are interested in environmental law, so I wanted to give you some information regarding the classes we offer here at USC Law.
(...)
Thank you for taking the time to apply to USC Law. As you consider various law schools, we hope you will keep USC at the top of your list!"

I don't know if it sounds rather good or not.. But it obviously means that I still have to way a few days more!

Good luck to u all

Oops, I have been thinking that the e-mail was favorable sign.

Anyway, good luck to all and hope to see you in sunny Los Angels !

Hi, rad96

I also would like to hear USC's reputation in Securities/Banking.
I have never heard of it.

I will additionally apply to BU and QMUL's banking/finance program.
I do not apply to Fordham, because of its location, not the program.

I hope to see you at USC or BU !!!

Hi Raspberry,

Hope you will get some good news soon!
Of course I can give you some profile info.
I sent my aplication by mail and I got a confirmation of receipt by e-mail at 1/31/08.
I have 3 years of work experience and my TOEFL was 118 (iBT). Also studied a while abroad (including NYU Law School).
Once again, good luck and hope to read some good news soon!
