University of San Diego 2023

@CaliMck15 sorry to hear that, looks like she still has some great schools to choose from.
Do you mind me asking what the status of her application is in the portal?

@ifer67 It has been in Committee Review for over a week now.

@2mrmagoo No I don’t think she ran it with the uw gpa, I guess I think she just assumed it was the weighted gpa especially since it took it. For other schools she would put in the wgpa and it would say 4.0 is the max. It wasn’t meant to be. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their admission decisions at USD and elsewhere. This journey is almost over and we will all get to put our new “Parents of a…student” on our windows soon, for us it just won’t be “Parents of a USD student”. God Bless.

@hermom1 I can see how that could happen. The calculator should be clearer and should not accept a higher gpa than 4.0. Good luck to your daughter.

Snail mail Denied ??‍♂️

@kitty72 stats?

@jilliansmith46 3.5 1350 SAT
Two paid jobs
Created my own business online
Community service

From LA. Male

@kitty72 Sorry to hear the news. My daughter in the same boat. Good Luck with your other choices.

He also got denied at Chapman congrats on that school and the others. It’s the whole waiting thing that is so hard. Thank you! @CaliMck15

My daughter received a thin envelope which I assume is a denial. She has not come home yet as she is working: 1160 SAT, 3.5 is uw with AP weighting close to 3.8. Rowed crew, various jobs, community service.
Mixed blessing as even too merit would make it tough as even those expensive schools have not granted any financial aid to us.

Good luck to all!!

has anyone not yet gotten a decision on the portal or a rejection letter? I’m wondering if there are any acceptances left or if everything else after this is a waitlist or rejection

@JBSeattle That’s what my daughter’s letter looked like…I guessed it was a rejection because her portal didn’t change and usually from my experience, acceptances come in a larger envelope with all the Welcome info, but I’m still holding out hope for your daughter. Good luck to her! My daughter’s stats very similar to your daughter’s. What other schools has she received acceptances so far?

D has not rcvd anything. 3.93uw 4.18 w SAT 1310. a lot of leadership ECs. totally expect acceptance-but have already decided on two other schools.

she applied 9-16-18 and it still says “complete-ready for review”. unless my D as looking in the wrong place?

My daughter has not heard anything yet. Her application status had not changed from the “Complete - Ready for Review” state. Her GPA and test scores are higher than those I’ve seen declined, so keeping our fingers crossed.
For those who have been declined, I hope your sons and daughters land someplace perfect for them.

agree. never like to hear about denials but something better is about to take place-
faith ??

I haven’t gotten a decision yet. No portal change or snail mail.

@ifer67 I bet she gets accepted in the next round…I think “Complete- Ready for Review” is actually a better status.
I think it then moves to Committee Review once you get accepted or right before. It seems that kids who status changed to “Committee Review” and it just sat there for a week or so ultimately got denial snail mail letters like my daughters did. Obviously, I could be wrong…just an observation. I haven’t heard of anyone here getting denied via portal…in fact, my daughter’s still says “Committee Review”. Good luck everyone!

@CaliMck15
My daughter was accepted with huge merit at Ohio Wesleyan and Manhattan College. She was accepted with some merit at Drexel and Western WA (they don’t give a lot of merit in state as it is low cost in state).
She also was accepted at Univ of Denver and San Diego St.
Waitlist at Vermont and deferred at Point Loma. I am less surprised about a likely USD denial than the wait list and particularly the deferral at Point Loma. Also waiting on Cal Poly SLO.

@CaliMck15
And your daughter?
