@carolinamom2boys on the online acceptance letter was dated the 15th, I am going to call office of admissions tomorrow about it
it’s really stressful for me, when colleges reply late or have some kind of error like U of South Carolina. I applied to 31 colleges, so I’m checking all these portals all the time
I just checked my portal again and my early action acceptance is still posted… but I just noticed the official letter is dated: January 15th, 2018. I thought this was strange… I am assuming the “2018” is just a typo.
@luckypinky1 - Congrats!
Mine says 2018 too. Hmmmm
They all do. There was a computer glitch. Until I got the letter in the mail, I would assume that I was not advisable.
@bjo114 Is your acceptance still listed when you log in? Now overthinking that people that have gone back to “under review” could be in a different bucket than those with acceptance still showing. So stressful! Thanks!
Okay so now I am really nervous since there are multiple portals that haven’t reverted back to Under Review status and what that could mean for those still Under Review.
What do your portals look like?
@krf2000 looks like it did when she first applied. It’s back to the Congratulations! Your application is under review. Does yours still show the link to click to get update? Has anyone been able to log into MYCHARLESTON portal? We have not been successful with that.
Ok, just a guess but they probably intended to update student portals but uploaded the incorrect date on the letter. I suspect they use templates from previous letters and now they need to fix the issue, re-issue letters with correct date. Now that is just a guess as I have no direct information from CofC. I would not read too much into the fact that some portals remain updated with an acceptance/decision status. When a system issue like this happens, it can set off a chain of events that are difficult to correct all at once. If you meet the qualifications for admission, don’t worry so much. Someone posted yesterday that these acceptances had to have been loaded from a database of reviewed applicants so hopefully the decision was accurate, but the letter date was in error and CofC did not mean to update the portals that day. Of course, this is all speculation. The office did tell me, when I called the other day that they will have this issue corrected by tomorrow or the 15th at the latest.
My portal has not changed at all. My friend said her friend found out that she got in yesterday, but I haven’t gotten any news. Has anyone?
@pama3115 thanks for talking me off the ledge. Was not worried until seeing that some portals have not changes. you make some good points. Hope this is fixed tomorrow! @krf2000 If I wasn’t on this board I would have had NO idea that the portal had updated. Was such a quick window that maybe you just missed it. Good luck!
Do we receive letters or are the portals just gonna update?
Packets will also be sent to the home. They posted a picture of them on Instagram and/or Facebook
DS still under review. 
Did anyone call the Admissions office? Did they say when they are mailing the packets? If the decisions have been made did the letters already go out, or are they holding the letters until the 15th?
Did anyone get a conformation email when you applied?
As far as I recall, I only received a email when we started the application and that is the link we have used since then to access the portal and we receive a lot of emails from the school on various events, etc. but only that initial one that provided the link. I don’t remember if there was a confirmation when the app was completed.
