anyone hearing about merit scholarships yet?

<p>If that one comes through, we are up to $7,000 for next year, plus in-state status. It's awesome!</p>

Excellent news!!
This has been many kids experience at USC,including mine.Get admitted,accept admittance and then the departmental stuff starts coming through!!
Get that S of yours some Gamecock gear!!!!</p>

<p>rumor mill has it that Under Armour deal is in the works, so I am waiting on that!</p>

<p>My wife has already told S, that the word Game has to appear in front of the other part of the nickname on all his stuff. </p>

<p>That's gonna be tough to find.</p>

<p>That was my initial reaction as well. I would only let her buy one that said Gamecocks on her first visit. There are actually many to choose from. Eventually I got over my initial gut reaction and let it go. LOL<br>
She bought shirts and hats for her GC and teachers that wrote her recs and they all loved them. I think for people who grew up in South Carolina it's not even given a second thought, but for us OOS people it is a little shocking on first campus visit!</p>

<p>Yes, it loses its shock value after you visit the campus for more than 15 minutes. So my wife will probably get over it after she goes down there for Scholar's Day.</p>

<p>BTW, has anyone been able to find a schedule for that. S RSVP'd on line, but no schedule has come in the mail.</p>

<p>Dr Buell (CS Dept head) wants to meet my S that day, and I hope that can be fit in somehow.</p>

<p>Scholar's Day Schedule is online:
I don't believe a schedule will come in the mail. The full schedule is online, though. If you go to the RSVP site: <a href="http://www.sc.edu/admissions/reply.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.sc.edu/admissions/reply.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br>
you will find a link to click for the schedule. Then there is another link to a 16-page pdf file with the entire schedule (times, maps, etc.). The pdf file looks like a download of an actual agenda booklet that might be given out to the participants on Scholars Day.</p>

<p>thanks greenville!</p>

<p>My daughter received the invitation to Scholars Day in today's mail. It does not contain a full schedule and directs you to the link that greenville posted for details and to RSVP.</p>
