anyone know when top scholars are announced? it should be this week right?
I am wondering this same thing and I am very curious. I got into the honors college in December and I am very new to all of this. How does the Top Scholars selection even work? There was no like semifinals or interview like many of the other scholarships I have heard about. Is it just a selection between Honors students and whoever has the best test scores and resume gets selected for interviews?
I think so? I am not exactly sure but I know that if you are selected you go to campus for an interview weekend
Any idea on when past Top Scholar notifications got sent out?
I believe last year they were mailed on the 14th (I could be wrong on this) but the website says mid-Jan so it should be coming up
Oh alright were you admitted to honors in December as well?
Iām going to create a new thread for Honors College and Top Scholars. That way people in the future will know where to look!

Yes I was! And I just checked the thread from last year I donāt know the date from last year but 2019 was the 14th and 2018 was the 15th of Jan
Just heard from my friend who is a current Top Scholar that she received the Top Scholars email notification on the 17th of last year!

I see some people have already heard back from Honors. How did you see that and is there an official date that all of these decisions come out?
It was part of the announcement for those that were accepted EA. So the letter also said that they got into the HC.

Ahhh ok thank you! I saw that u of sc says that all honors college decisions will be out by mid-Feb. Do you know if all EA students that got accepted have been notified or is there a possibility an EA student could still get in?
The first round of honors decisions came out on December 23rd, but I believe there is at least one more date that will have both acceptances and rejections for honors.

The second round of notifications comes mid-February and some who do not get into honors may be offered Capstone program.

Is it true that if you didnāt apply to honors you could still get in capstone
Yes, if you applied to the university by December 1.

So for everyone who was deferred during the EA round, do we have a date as to when we will receive a final decision?

I believe deferred students will now hear at the same time as RD students. While I understand it was a huge influx of applicants for EA, itās too bad they didnāt have a system to get through them instead of deferring such a huge pool of kids. I know for my daughter itās pushed USC way down on her listā¦but weāll see how it all plays out. We had expected her to not only get in but get decent merit money but just one more crazy twist.
