Seems like they’re following the model of chasing well-credentialed out of state applicants with the lure of strong merit and an honors college. Seeing a lot of buzz in the northeast, midwest and elsewhere with an increase in applications.

@Wormwad this isn’t new. Our DD graduated from high school in 2006 and was awarded a McKissick Scholarship which was terrific. She elected to go elsewhere, but U of SC sure showed her the love.
We live in the northeast and know many more than a handful of happy U of SC graduates!
The difference is…I don’t think South Carolina has guaranteed scholarships based on stats.

U of SC is aggressive but not Bama aggressive - and on an overall basis, it’s a more competitive admit.
I wouldn’t compare it to Bama but it’s a good shot for a smart kid on a budget.
