did they say anything about waitlist?
@#1bballengineer that will come with rejection and acceptance in the next few days
I was waitlisted this afternoon
We just received the mail- Orange County- and have been wait listed. Over 1700 are on the wait list and last year USD only took 250. Our journey has come to an end- we are going to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. We had a 3.8 W and a 26 ACT. I also believe if you are selected off the wait list you will be receiving no financial aid- someone should check on that. We can’t afford USD without aid. Congrats to everyone who made it in this year. It gets harder and harder every year. You now need at least a 4.0 to be competitive anywhere.
I don’t think the 4.0 comment is true. My daughter certainly doesn’t have a 4.0. There are many things that go into admissions. Some have to do with location. I would bet it is harder for a Californian to get in than people from other states but that same Californian might more easily get into Gonzaga in WA state than a Washingtonian. Most schools want to draw from across the country and the world. Schools are looking for a balanced class.
@NESeattleMom I completely agree with you because there’s already been many people with 4.0s that didn’t get in. Even in their published articles about the admission decision making process, they explain about how they don’t want to only choose people with high GPAS, ACTs, & SATs scores. They take a holistic approach and want changemakers and people ready to make a difference.
Also does anyone know if you get rejected, does you portal still stay the same?
Checked the mail today and still haven’t received anything. My dad is going to call and see what they say.
Yup just got the mail as well and nothing!
Just got off of the phone with someone at the office it was mailed out on Wednesday for me, so I guess I’ll find out tomorrow but I left a voicemail for one of the admissions counselors and hopefully she’ll return my phone call today and I’ll find out. It didn’t sound like good news when I spoke with the receptionist but after waiting for so long I just want to find out
@Futurecollegegirl24 I also called and it also didn’t sound like the best news either. I’m hoping it was just the receptionist and that I’ll hear some good news back!
@sdentino Fingers crossed for the both of us and good luck! Let me know after you find out and I’ll do the same.
@Futurecollegegirl24 so my dad just called again and unfortunately I was waitlisted… USD was my number one choice so I’m bummed out about it.
@sdentino Which admissions counselor did you speak with? Jackie Burchett? And they just told you over the phone lucky! I still don’t know
@Futurecollegegirl24 yes it was Jackie. My dad was persistent so that might be why she told him over the phone I’m not sure. Still wish I heard better news!
@sdentino Okay news is better than no news at all, right? What are you gonna do now?
@Futurecollegegirl24 once I get the waitlist email I’m going to accept it but I’m most likely going to go to Point Loma University.
Waitlisted as well 
Finally received the acceptance package in the mail today. The portal showed up over a week ago.
For those of you who were wait listed today, did you receive it in the mail or via the portal? My portal shows “complete - ready for review” still and I haven’t received anything in the mail.
