no i think those emails are just sent to everyone, i don’t think it related to TS
Uhh, haven’t been here long (so sorry for the extra posts), so hopefully this is enough, but 4.0 UW, 1580 SAT, “average excellent” ECs if that makes sense, pretty strong writer

I wish I knew if they notify people either way if they are invited to Top Scholars or not. Also got a “financial aid and scholarship questions answered” email about 30 minutes ago. I’m wondering like others said if this means it’s a no for Top Scholars.

Did the students that have been invited to top scholars also get the “financial aid and scholarships questions answered” email tonight?

I got the financial and scholarships question email! Not invited to top scholars, but I got merit so I believe that may be what have triggered it
I just received the Welcome Home to the SCHC email. It was basically almost the same as the one I received right before Christmas. No Top Scholars or scholarship email but I did receive merit with my acceptance.

I have heard that as students turn down their invitations others get invited. So holding out hope here…

Has anyone heard about if they’re releasing TS notifications in three waves like they’ve done in previous years? Not super hopeful about getting in, but I’m debating on doing the BARSC-MD app and I’d like to know whether I can definitively rule UofSC out yet or not

Does any one know if an invite to the scholars social means they got into honors?
I think the scholars social is different than the honors reception. In the USC parents Facebook I learned that today. A few people who didn’t even apply to honors said they were invited to scholar social.
Okay thx, it felt a little too casual to be an indication of honors. And … we wait
When they get into honors it goes into their portal. I was wondering if scholar social meant that maybe they were going to be invited to capstone? It seems like not everyone was invited to the social either.
I would like to know that too. I did hear that when people are invited to Top Scholars they have a certain amount of time to accept the invitation and if they don’t accept then they move on to the next person.
Daughter (in-state) received a decline email about Top Scholars.

My daughter too got the rejection email(OOS) It was disappointing as without that it would be difficult for us to afford U of SC and it is in top of her list

My daughter got the rejection letter today as well. Knew it would be super competitive but was hoping for that extra 11k. Oh well. Still a few scholarship levels below TS and in state is a big help.
My daughter got her rejection yesterday as well. The only person she has heard of getting Top Scholars at her school is the Valedictorian.
