@MominPA2017 Spring-Ford
Anyone that hasnāt received that was expecting it? My son was wooed pretty heavily prior to application. Did the private steakhouse lunch. We still havenāt seen the acceptance. Just wondering! 1560 SAT. Engineering
@tonils I wouldnāt worry about it.l yet. They send HC acceptances through Feb and I donāt think thereās any information about how many they typically send out before Christmas.
@USCMOM23 there are >2000 students in the HC. The 567 refers to the freshman class.
I wonder if they ended up with more than they expected. I think they shoot for 400 a class. I feel like I read that somewhere. Itās interesting because my son is all about USC now. He likes the programs, they are offering him an additional scholarship through the music school etc. He even said that if he gets into one of his ādreamā schools, he would seriously consider turning it down for USC. We can afford a private school but heās asking himself what they are offering him for 70k a year when it looks like he can do SCHC for next to nothing. Are any of you guys having these conversations. I know with some of the stats that are being listed that people are going to have lots of options.
@tonils I didnāt get anything either. 1520 SAT, 34 ACT, 3.9 UW 4.22 W. Iām from TX, so hopefully it comes tomorrowā¦
We havenāt received anything either. They said in the acceptance letter that as āone of our strongest applicants from South Carolina you will receive a scholarship from the university,ā and Iām wondering if everyone got that? I had sort of thought maybe it meant he might make it into HC. Sigh. This whole process is extremely un-fun for us!
I was accepted today and I was completely expecting to be rejected! Iām from Ohio. My ACT was a 33 and my GPA was a 4.28 weighted (probably more by USC standards) and 3.8 unweighted.
I just got my letter today! Iām from Ohio with a 34/1490, a 4.0 unweighted, and a 4.6 weighted by my schoolās standards. I got direct admission to the International Business program.
A big Congrats to all who have been accepted so far! Awesome! =D>
How do you know if you have been rejected? Basically, if you havenāt heard anything by now ā¦does that mean a potential rejection or is there still hope until Februrary?
@Muffin71 my understanding is that a small number of acceptances go out in December and most are sent in Jan and Feb
Is there any clue to how many applied?
@BigHerms My daughterās letter said āa record breaking numberā but didnāt say how many.
Have they sent any rejections via e-mail/portal/mail yet? Or is it silence until after February?
It will be a stretch for my daughter. To be honest she didnāt put the effort in the essays. USC was a stretch for her. 33ACT 4.0 uw 5.26 w very little AP classes (small school only offers 2 AP, she took both) some ECās and volunteer work. Nothing special. Her essays were short, I mean minimum short. I wish she would of put the same effort she did for Texas Tech and Miami.
His letter finally came today!! Postmarked the 20th, not sure what took so long! Whew.
