I have good stats and thought I would have an easy time getting into USD but my portal hasn’t changed and it still says “Ready for Review”. Does this mean I didn’t get in?
@cflan1611 they release in waves, last night was the first. Mine still says “ready for review” as well. I wouldn’t start to worry yet.
@cflan1611 Mine still says that too and I was pretty confident about getting admitted. But I called the admissions office yesterday and they said they have only released a small amount of decisions, and they are continuing to send more through Feb and March.
yes I did that and it say new freshman when i clicked on admissions. did you get an email when your portal was updated?
I did not get an email saying my portal was updated, I simply went to my portal and saw a new tab under “applicant” that says “admitted.” I do not think anyone should worry yet, because like others have said, they have yet to release many of them. Does anyone how they release the admission decisions, is it based on when you applied or is it random?
do you think they’ll post more decisions today?
Our son’s portal says “Massive Merit Aid Pending”…hope that’s a good sign 
accepted! Stats - 800 math 690 verbal sat subject tests - 800 math 2, 690 physics. 4.17 /4.50 gpa
@EDHDAD if you don’t mind me asking what were your son’s stats and where did it say that?
i think @edhdad is being sarcastic. How do you apply for honors college?
Merit aid awards are out. But the 2018-19 prices are not.
did any of you get an email before you checked the portal?
@optimistic43 @dyingstudent313 he’s not being sarcastic, the portal will say congrats for being invited to apply for the honors college to those they extend it to. My stats are 35 superscored ACT and 3.96 unweighted and depending on which weighted you look at, my weighted gpa is ~4.5, 11 APs
@dyingstudent313 It’s in the upper right hand corner of the accepted student screen. I’m so excited!
Mine still says committee review, is that a bad sign?
Merit awards are listed under ‘Financial Aid Status’ box - select 2018-19 Academic Year. For some reason it shows the scholarship as ‘Accepted’.
Received a $21K, Trustee Scholarship.
Wait can someone explain how to check for merit money?
My portal doesn’t show anything if I click financial aid status box so does that mean I didn’t get anything or that it hasn’t updated?
@collegebound625 mine was blank yesterday and populated today. it seems like they do everything on a rolling basis rather than all at once
my stats are 3.95 UW 4.33 W and 1320 SAT and my portal still says ready for review idk if its a bad sign or not
