How do you know if you got a scholarship like Alcala or Trustee??
@Caligirl24 I’d think so. Atleast from my school’s naviance almost anyone with atleast a 3.7 and like a 25 on the ACT has gotten in/ your numbers are right in the range and their acceptance rate is a little above 50%
@Soccergirl2232 thanks
Hi, just to help people out, I just got my acceptance from USD. I am white, good extracurriculars, 4.3 GPA, 31 ACT, 1400 SAT. I got the Alacala scholarship. Good luck to everyone that applied 
How were you notified? @Preciouswiley
@ksquaredmom We are in the same boat. Got $25k/year but for the same net price my son can go to more selective schools or for a lot less money he can go to equally selective schools. I think USD has the advantage of being located 5 minutes from the beach in an enormous city where the weather is perfect every day so they can charge a lot and still have more than enough students.
i really thought the next wave would of come out today since they tweeted that decisions were coming out 
or did it go out and i just still haven’t gotten in?
I got my decision in the mail today. I had emailed them to withdraw about two weeks ago but I guess you cannot stop mail. I was accepted with 3.4 unweighted, 3.9 weighted, 30 ACT, and good extracurriculars and was granted the Presidential Scholarship.
if people are part of the second wave please let everyone know when you get accepted or if you already did!
For anyone that got scholarships: Did you find out right away when you were accepted? Also, what were your stats?
Did you also see it on the portal/get an email? Or was yours only through standard snail mail?
Can I email them a letter of recommendation from my boss? They didn’t have an option on the common app for a non teacher recommendation but does anyone know if I could email them one
is It a bad sign my portal has been saying committe review for weeks? Anyone know exactly what that means??
3.39 UW GPA, 1440 SAT, really strong EC’s and essays. Accepted with $21K presidential scholarship. When I logged into the portal about a week ago, I saw my acceptance, but there was no scholarship info to be found under the financial aid tab. I got my packet in the mail yesterday and it was mentioned in my acceptance letter. Good luck everyone!
I’m wondering if there have been a 2nd wave of acceptances yet?
mine has said committee review as well. I’m sure we’re not the only ones.
mine says “Complete - Ready for Review”
I’m very confused. I got a 1420 SAT, 4.0 W GPA, 5 high school jobs, 1 internship, so I thought I was a sure bet for a good scholarship.
Just checked and I got absolutely nothing.
I’m hoping this is a mistake, but I can’t really understand why I didn’t receive anything. Any advice?
mine too
