Alcala in AZ…3.97 UW 2260 SAT
For those who received acceptance letters in the mail, did your portal change to Committee Review and do you have an Admitted tab?
@1570626 yes
I found out last week when I checked the portal. There was a drop down tab that said “Admitted,” and a little congratulatory note when I clicked on it. I had a 4.3 GPA and a 2220 SAT, and was awarded $25,000 a year.
Hi everyone! I got my acceptance packet today! But where is the merit scholarship information? I just got the acceptance letter and the YOU’RE Accepted brochure. Please respond!!
It comes in the acceptance packet.
@CADREAMIN is it on the acceptance letter or on another piece of paper?
My application status has read “committee review” for about a month now. Is that something to worry about? I’m starting to feel like I got denied
@onmyway1 The merit award is on the acceptance letter in the packet.
@maggieh1 I wouldn’t worry too much about it until you receive an official letter from USD. Some of my friends are still waiting to hear back and their portals say the same thing. Also, some people receive letters before their portals update.
so does that mean I didn’t get a merit award if it’s not on my acceptance letter??? Because it’s not… 
@mumz14 and @CADREAMIN should I contact them?? It literally just says Congratulations on my acceptance and welcoming me to the USD community! Also talks about how I should make my decision by May 1st to summarize everything on the letter.
Yes, the scholarship information was in the body of the admissions letter. DS received his letter on Monday, but there still is no scholarship information posted in the portal, while he acceptance was viewable online, before he got the letter.
@onmyway1 I would encourage you to call the Financial Aid office tomorrow. I do not know for sure, but my thoughts would be that no merit award was offered.
On the acceptance screen, when I click on ‘Financial Aid Status’, it now opens a new window showing cost of attendance of $61,561 and the merit award amount. A word of caution - I don’t know if they load them all at the same time or not. And definitely none of the other financial aid info is ready - it just shows my fafsa efc and cost of attendance.
@onmyway1, agree, check with admissions, but it does seem that no merit money is offered. A separate letter is included about your scholarships. They are very nice in admissions there and would confirm whether or not you are getting merit money so you can make plans going forward. Good luck!
Just got my admitted tab today so don’t lose hope!!
admitted for psychology in state
29 ACT
around 3.9 gpa
Admitted from Indiana. No letter yet, but recieved the Admitted tab on the portal
Does anyone know if Honors Program invitations were included in the acceptance packet meaning I just didn’t get invited or are they sending these later?
Admitted tab appeared today…in Texas. Nothing on financial aid tab except the FAFSA data…looks like we need to wait for the letter and hope that merit aid is not keeping up with the admitted tab.
@rlpentz - the honors invite would show on your admit screen. A letter talking about the honors overnight visit was in the packet.
