What will our portal say that indicates if we got in or not?
@mishk90, in the ‘Admissions’ drop down, you will see an ‘Admitted’ item that you can select.
I applied the last week of October and still haven’t heard a word…
Is there a groupme?
Just got the $25000 scholarship! 33 ACT 3.91 UW 4.36 W
@2121Dad thank you! And I saw it on my portal. If you click on finianacial aid and then change the year to 2017-2018, it should pop up
@mishk90 on your portal there’s a tab that says admissions and then click on that and it will reveal your decision!
Someone should make a Facebook group for the class of 2021
I called admissions and they said if it still says “committee review” on your application status but you have the “admitted tab” then you have been accepted into USD. Admissions told me that committee review stays there and never changes. To see if you got a merit scholarship, click on “financial aid status” on the admitted tab, choose 2017-18, and click on “financial award”.
Does anyone know if there is a groupme for USD 2021?
^^ same
if i don’t have the admitted tab, does that mean i didn’t get in?
I want to know the same thing @meowmeow99
@meowmeow99 and @marykv Decisions are released from USD throughout February and March.
@meowmeow99 it means you haven’t gotten in yet.
