Has anyone received an acceptance for regular decision? Do they send them out all at once in mid-March or randomly until mid-March?
@SCLADY12 , did your daughter apply late? My daughter received her acceptance in December.
@kaylamissy She applied in September. We are in state. My thoughts about the in state public colleges and universities in SC – they are looking 1) for the highest stats and 2) exhaust out-of-state candidates for the higher tuition. A friend of mine works in admissions for another SC public college and said this is how they operate. The larger ones are pretty much about the stats.
@kaylamissy I forgot to mention her stats are at the acceptable range (actually a little higher) for CofC. In opinion, I think USC and CofC will start to send out the final round of acceptances soon since Clemson let the floodgates out over the weekend. Many of the SC applicants who apply to Clemson also apply to USC and CofC, so people tend to commit soon.
@kaylamissy My daughter received a couple of phone calls today from colleges where she was accepted to see if she still has interest in them since Clemson decisions have been issued.
@SCLADY12 , I hope your daughter hears soon! I know how stressful the waiting is. Clemson was the last one for my daughter to hear from and of course it was her first choice. I don’t think she’s going to do the bridge program there. I believe she’s going to commit to Wofford if we can get the money worked out, if not it’s between USC and CofC.
@kaylamissy Thanks!! Wofford, USC and CofC are very good options!! Right now, my daughter is leaning toward Presbyterian College - offered good money.
@SCLADY12 Did you get financial letter from Presbyterian? My daughter was accepted there too
@kaylamissy Yes, it was included in her acceptance packet.
Hi there curiously, are students only notified by mail? No email follow up? Thanks
@kaylamissy Regarding PC financial letter – we actually received it yesterday. There was mention of her financials in her acceptance package, but the separate, formal financial letter was sent separately. Sorry for the confusion.
@SCLADY12 , we didn’t receive anything in the main today maybe Monday. I did get an email from them a couple days ago saying that they were sending out letters soon. So if you got one today maybe we will get one Monday. Let me know also when you hear from USC. My daughter has 2 good friends that have not heard from USC yet either and they are very anxious to hear.
@kaylamissy Will do. My daughter has several friends waiting to hear as well.
@SCLADY12 it never hurts to e-mail your kid’s admissions counselor. They are so friendly and willing to answer anything. If you applied in September, definitely e-mail or call them
@ladybugg314 I reached out to her admissions counselor assigned to our region via e-mail with no response. I followed up with a phone call only to be forward to a voicemail that was full. I finally got past a student answering the phones in Charleston to an actual admissions counselor who was helpful and indicated that we should hear something in a week. That was last week. My daughter is so disenchanted with CofC that she has almost written them off even if she received an acceptance. She is pretty much settled with one of her top choices.
@SCLADY12 it makes a difference of your child calls rather than you. what you did was great, but i know the admissions counsleors stress that they want rhe kids to reach out and take responsibility rather than the parents
@ladybugg314 She already has reached out to the admissions counselor and received the generic response.
My D applied late & just received her acceptance letter today. About 10 days ago she received an email just saying “You’re in” and how to access her portal. Today’s letter didn’t contain any FA or mention of the Honors College decision. We are in state.
@cloudysmom Congratulations! We are still waiting (well, I am – my daughter is over it already). They said last week that we should hear from them within the week – still nothing. What major did your daughter indicate?
History, not sure she’ll go though, this was our in state safety but it’s such a great school, and gorgeous but we live here so she wants to go OOS. Waiting on FA from a univ of Richmond…
