<p>Yay! I got in!</p>
<p>@lovetodive did u find out by mail or on mysandiego?</p>
<p>I’m expecting a letter soon. Last week, with no email notification, I randomly logged onto mysandiego and there was the new “Admitted” tab that some people have been talking about.</p>
<p>When do u apply for financial aid ?</p>
<p>If you are offered a merit scholarship, I believe it comes with your acceptance letter in the regular mail. You don’t apply for those; they are offered by the school. </p>
<p>To apply for other types of financial aid (federal and state grants, institutional aid and student loans), you fill out the FAFSA which is available online January 1. The FAFSA is a federal form required by many schools including USD for any type of aid. It serves as your financial aid application for USD and is required by USD by March 2. The FAFSA will tell you what your family is expected to contribute toward your education. It will not tell you what to expect from USD or any other school. USD then makes their awards starting in March.</p>
<p>Mine didn’t come with any information on a merit scholarship, it said it will all come later. Has anyone received merit aid yet?</p>
<p>D’s snail mail acceptance today. Looks like merit aid and Honors invitations will be coming later.</p>
<p>Letter came today!</p>
<p>This is last year’s EA acceptance thread if you want to look through it and see what kind of students/stats were offered merit awards with their acceptance letter (Dec 2010-Jan 2011 timeframe).</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten mine yet… All of my application materials were in Oct. 28th. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>You should try using the net price calculator on their website to see what type of aid you’re likely to get.</p>
<p>For those people that have received some kind of admission decision did your online account through the USD website change? Because mine currently says “Complete-Ready for Review.”</p>
<p>@hs8716 I’m in the same exact boat as you. They recieved everything oct 28th, but I haven’t heard anything yet. I’m starting to panic alittle bit cuz some of the people that have been accepted applied around the same time as me…</p>
<p>I too applied EA and have not heard anything back, nor do I have the extra admitted tab. My stuff was in by Nov 2nd and I have been accepted to LMU and SCU so far. I am curious about the process of timing and admittance…it is making me nervous that so many have heard back with good news. Let me know if you find anything out, as of now my portal still says “complete-ready for review”</p>
<p>Turned my stuff in last minute on 11/15 for Early Action and haven’t gotten decision or tab.</p>
<p>USD received all of my application materials on November 7th and I am still waiting for an admissions decision. Have people been deferred/denied yet?</p>
<p>My son was accepted right before Christmas. He received a packet in the mail. He applied EA, Nov. 1. If you are still waiting…CALL them, don’t be shy. There is nothing wrong with telling them you are concerned because you haven’t heard…it sure wouldn’t be the first time mail went astray or emails didn’t go through. Good luck!</p>
<p>Accepted today</p>
<p>I was accepted today as well! I was starting to lose hope. Still waiting on a few schools but I will most likely be at USD next year!</p>
<p>After your admitted tab showed up, how long did it take you to receive the paper acceptance? I saw that mine changed on the 11th, but still no physical packet.</p>
