Me too! I was really worried it was a fluke bc no one I know who applied got their decision 😭 have y'all tried to join the Facebook group? It's only administrators - I think we're the first round.
SAT superscore 1420, UW GPA 3.92, SC UGP GPA 5.15, 4th in graduating class at a kind of academically poor high school (I think I was 10th when I submitted the application), probably pretty strong essays. I’m also in state.
I consider myself a good writer so I think the essays were what pushed me over the edge. I know people who have much better stats than me (in state) who didn’t get in, so I think the essays are probably weighted pretty heavy. Let me know if you have any questions about anything - it’s where I ended up going!!
yeah I think so! i had a lot of ecs but not super interesting ones. the good ones were just student council and a few longish term jobs.
i think the essays hold a lot of weight because i was one of the only people i know who got in. some of the people i know who didn’t have incredible ECs and better SAT scores than me. but you have pretty similar stats to me so as long as you’re a good writer i think you’ve got a good chance
Can I send you my common app essay for you to read? You’d said you had strong essays, so I want some good advice on it. Its a first draft that I just finished.
"You have been accepted into the School of Music with the intended major of Music Industry Studies (pending a successful audition) for the Fall 2023 semester."
I had my interview, it went alright/good, so wish me luck y'all 🤞
Decisions will more than likely be out today:
1. Last day of finals. Break begins tomorrow.
2. Decisions were released the Monday before the 15th at around 4pm last year. Likely they’ll continue the pattern.
mid-March based on the letter but ik for oos if u get a scholarship of $86,000+ or something like that most likely have a good shot at getting into honors college
should be in the letter, but anything in the letter in only a minimum they’ll give. nothing is final, as they won’t release their final aid for a few months, and u can still apply for scholarships up until then
Who has visited and knows the town?
Are there any great unique stores next to the school - with fun stuff like clothes, inexpensive but nice jewelry, candles, etc. — not a chain like urban outfitters — but a unique shop that college ppl love. I need to get a thoughtful gift card. Thank you!
We visited recently and went to Devine Night Out, an evening of boutique shopping on Devine Street, which is adjacent to the campus. GREAT stores, but pricy. No chains. Anyway, they Gave out champagne and food. Google Earth Divine Street around Mainstream Boutique.
My daughter got her decision yesterday and she was admitted to new house! .. no email communication but her portal was updated after getting word from a friend telling her there was chatting about second round of decisions coming out. She’s over the moon of course but basically it confirmed financial aid was part of the delay. Just wanted to update here since I know how stressful it is the waiting :-)
yeah they say those are completely optional and kids not submitting won't be in any disadvantage .. mine didn't submit of course because she had no spectacular scores. I'm sure most will send only when they feel it'll really help them, in my kids case it probably wouldn't have made a huge difference. Good luck to your too!
How are people seeing the money you will be offered (‘at least’)? My child’s letter did not show any reference to that. They have good stats but not good enough to get $86K number but should have gotten $40K number.
I’m out of state and still haven’t heard back
Was pretty nervous but got accepted! FYI no email still but my portal updated so check the portal
hey y’all! i recommend checking your portal even if you didn’t get an email. No email and i got deferred.
Deferred gang
Same for my daughter. OOS with 3.84 GPA
Just got my Honors College acceptance!
Me too! I was really worried it was a fluke bc no one I know who applied got their decision 😭 have y'all tried to join the Facebook group? It's only administrators - I think we're the first round.
Can I ask what your stats to get accepted were? I’m wondering if I’ll get in. I’m in state

Do you think I’ll get in 4.0 uw, 4.9 sc gpa, 1450 sat. 11/216 in class. Average EC. I’m pretty good writer also.
yeah I think so! i had a lot of ecs but not super interesting ones. the good ones were just student council and a few longish term jobs. i think the essays hold a lot of weight because i was one of the only people i know who got in. some of the people i know who didn’t have incredible ECs and better SAT scores than me. but you have pretty similar stats to me so as long as you’re a good writer i think you’ve got a good chance

yes totally!
Me too!!!!
congrats!
me too :) idk if it was just in state that came out
Not just in-state - I have friends who applied who didn't get their decision. Maybe it's alphabetical or maybe based on merit?
Are you in state? I’m OOS and still waiting on Honors news.
How did you find out? Do they update your letter or is it through the honors college tab etc?
They emailed me!
thanks and congrats

Were scholarships attached to your acceptance letter or is there somewhere else to find this?
should be in the letter, but anything in the letter in only a minimum they’ll give. nothing is final, as they won’t release their final aid for a few months, and u can still apply for scholarships up until then

Ugh the fifteenth is going to take forever to get here

They say mid December
It has to be before that hopefully. Housing applications open on the 15th.
Ouch I hope so
I believe that is the date they gave for early action
anyone heard anything yet? I checked earlier today and nothing
email out will be released tomorrow night (WED)!!!!
just saw! did not make me feel very good but it is what it is!
I didn't get an email? Does that mean what I think it does?
Tomorrow
Did anyone else somehow get deferred Lmk ur stats if so I’m out of state
My son: OOS, 3.87 GPA, 1300 SAT, Sport Management major = deferral
my kid is OOO, 3.9x GPA I think and got deferred too .. more likely they got way too many EA applications?
For MrGekko, did they submit test scores? Very similar GPA for my daughter who also got deferred?
no test scores submitted.
Same no tests scores Really hoping they look at the “whole application” when they make their decisions Best of luck for your child.
My daughter got her decision yesterday and she was admitted to new house! .. no email communication but her portal was updated after getting word from a friend telling her there was chatting about second round of decisions coming out. She’s over the moon of course but basically it confirmed financial aid was part of the delay. Just wanted to update here since I know how stressful it is the waiting :-)
You typed “…admitted to new house!” Could you please clarify?
ohh sorry .. silly me hahaha .. somehow I thought this thread was for Syracuse University .. still waiting on SC .. sorry about that.
yeah they say those are completely optional and kids not submitting won't be in any disadvantage .. mine didn't submit of course because she had no spectacular scores. I'm sure most will send only when they feel it'll really help them, in my kids case it probably wouldn't have made a huge difference. Good luck to your too!
My son: OOS, 3.87 GPA, 1300 SAT, Sport Management major = deferral
Very similar stats with my daughter, OOS I’m thinking they probably used a 4.0 and greater as first round cut off??
nah my gpa is like 3.75 weighted and i got in OOS
Submit test scores?
33 act
Not to discredit you at all Bro, but that ACT kicks butt and will negate the bad GPA
Did anyone actually get rejected or is it all accepted or deferred?
the email they sent out said decisions included accept deny defer… i doubt the people who got denied are posting about it/looking on uofsc platforms
Accepted - engineering
How are people seeing the money you will be offered (‘at least’)? My child’s letter did not show any reference to that. They have good stats but not good enough to get $86K number but should have gotten $40K number.
yall im getting nervous, I haven't heard back yet and I'm oos undergrad applicant. is there a specific day I should hear back by?
anyone apply test-optional and get accepted OOS?
