<p>we're thrilled- d got in EA today with a nice scholarship! we weren't expecting to hear anything for another month, so when I saw the thick envelope in the mail, I didn't dare hope it was a decision, but it was!
sh/we is/are going to have some tough decisions in next few months..
she was also invited to apply for the honors program...just when she thought she was <strong>done</strong> with applications!</p>
<p>any other news out there?</p>
<p>Congrats! Good luck with the decision!</p>
<p>Wecandothis - congrats! My son got accepted EA last month (right before Christmas...it was the best present!), also with a nice scholarship. Very surprised when the big package came. That same day he heard from one of the CSU's (acceptance, but no $). Still waiting to hear from two more colleges. This was his first choice, and the one he will attend. We are all thrilled!</p>
<p>Good luck with the big decision!</p>
<p>thanks for the good wishes westcoast and little...we are so excited about this! It was so strange how she got 2 acceptances/scholarships on the same day, both way sooner than we'd expected.
I've always had a good feeling about USD; living in the area since 92 I have visited quite a few times and every time have had a good impression. D really loves it too....but she does wonder if there are a lot of super preppy types though. Her small public hs is a little on the surfer/artsy side, yet with great academics, and she likes that ambiance..enjoys diversity too, meaning a mix of people from different cultures and perspectives...so we will see where this all ends up!
still waiting on a number of other schools, but USD has put a great offer on the table we will be looking very seriously at.
Don't the CSU dollars come later in the process?</p>
<p>My D recieved an acceptance with some nice $ last week as well. At this point she is thinking she wants to go to a larger school, but the $ and honors invitation sure feel good - we will have to wait and see what else comes in the mail between now and May 1.</p>
<p>congrats to your d OC Mom- it is too early to make a final decision, but I personally feel very good about USD. It was such a nice offer...
where else did you d apply?</p>
<p>I was admitted in early Jan and was wondering do any of your daughters know where they are interested in rooming, I heard that Maher was the way to go. And also I was given $10,000 and not the honors college, what kind of stats did they have to get into the honors college.</p>
<p>wedandothis - my D has applied at a bunch of other colleges in CA as well as out of state. One is USC and I saw your post about Town & Gown on that thread. Congrats on your D getting an interview. My D did not apply for that one though she did for some of the other USC scholarships. By the time she got to scholarship apps she was a bit burned out and turned off by the amount of work needed for the Town & Gown. We may sorry for that decision. My guess is that if your D is interviewing she will soon get her acceptance! Does she have any preferences between these two schools? Both are great, but quite different in size.</p>
<p>USDNROTC21 - My D is still waiting for decisions from a few other colleges before she gets specific about housing with any one. Her stats are 4.6 GPA, 2030 SAT, I can't remember her SATII's I think they were 710, & 690ish.</p>
<p>Historically, Maher would probably be the best freshman living choice, but USD is opening a brand new building down by Missions next fall, so that may be the best choice. I heard that the new bulding will have a cafe and a brand new workout facility.</p>
<p>i thought the new missions was for upperclassmen...but i personally like the missions better because it feels like you are walking "home" at night, rather than just going upstairs from your classroom or something. but after missions, i would say maher was the best.</p>
<p>USDNROTC-you can apply to be in the honors program after your first semester. i don't know what the stats are for incoming freshmen, but i think only those who got the 15,000 scholarship are asked to apply.</p>
<p>I just found this website, but I received an EA letter around January 10 with a nice scholarship in it. Still waiting to hear if i got into either USC or UCLA, however, but USD is definitely my #2 school :)</p>
