The LMU president mentioned it in his welcome video to newly admitted applicants.
what did he mention?
This is getting a little bit ridiculous. My daughter has been checking her USD portal every Monday this month for an update. Nothing has changed and it is the last day of March. This whole process is turning her away from a school she really loves!!!

It pushed my son over the edge. USD went from being his #1 school to the bottom. 4pm on March 31 and his status hasn’t changed. Disrespectful.

I have friends waiting to hear back too. Bad form.

He mentioned budget cuts, I believe he connected it to staff as well. I recommend listening to that if you have time.
I agree. This is probably going to be my last post on CC since this is my youngest child and USD is the last school we are waiting to hear from. The USD applicant portal is the worst I’ve seen of any portal with multiple kids probably applying to combined 30 different schools. My child has now completely lost interest in USD because of the process and confusion. Most likely will attend LMU, which we love. Good luck to all of you in finding your best fit.

When my oldest applied in 2018-19, USD sent an email regarding acceptance into the university on Friday, 4/5/2019 after 5pm. My child got in (last one to hear from), but by that time, we had moved on to another school that provided my oldest with a much better educational opportunity. Unfortunately, we didn’t learn our lesson, thinking it was a fluke and my youngest also applied. Same thing is happening. Nothing as of this afternoon so we’ve also moved on, whether or not my youngest gets in (who actually forgot an application was sent in to USD). Future applicants and their parents should keep this in mind when applying. Thank you CC for all the wonderful info. Best of luck to this year’s high school seniors!

@GeneEric1921 Thanks for your comments. Maybe if we had known it was going to be so late from the beginning we wouldn’t have become so annoyed. USD would be better off releasing all decisions at once, or at least in a few “waves” like other schools do.

This reminds me of the awful UT Austin waiting game nightmare, only to be rejected at the 13th hour. Hoping you all receive good news soon! Portal updating to committee review should mean decision very soon.

@879800 Thanks for commiserating. My older child was actually accepted to UT Austin so I don’t remember it. But that sounds awful.

My D received an emailed at 12pm, 3/31, today saying she was waitlisted and to accept/deny the waitlist spot. If you check her portal, it still says Complete - Ready for Review. I would have your student check their email.

Still says “complete - ready for review”. No emails.
Same here. No change, no email… even checked SPAM. Seems from an earlier post that decisions went as late as 4/5 in prior years. I would hope if not going to make the deadline that they would at least notify us that still working through the process. Crazy!!

Not sure why I’m even still waiting, lol. My child doesn’t want to go to USD. Obsession needs to end. Time to finally let go and stop CC :). Best wishes to all of you and all your children!!!

My last student had auto admit at university of Texas and it was his first choice- I was just thinking about how easy last year was compared to this. Has anyone gotten a denial or do they drag all those out to the last possible day as well. Have mercy on these poor kids.

on the upside, I don’t know if it is related waiting to commit, but my daughter has now gotten scholarship offers from all her other admitted schools.
