Nada….
Is merit aid noted in the portal somewhere, or by separate email? Portal still not updated.

Curious what did others who were accepted receive? We received first email regarding application status having been updated with link to acceptance screen, and second email/ letter from admissions confirming acceptance. Nothing yet regarding merit or financial aid offers. Did that information come in the acceptance letter or separately? Thank you!
My friend received an email an hour later with the merit offer

When should the other acceptances coming out? I know they said next week, but does anyone know what day? OOS from Texas and haven’t heard back.
USD is high on my daughters list, but she hasn’t heard anything yet so I took a look at last year’s admission thread. It looks like admissions were sent out in batches over the course of the month. Forum participants who talked to admissions said that they can only release acceptances in waves (“it’s a systems issue”). Additionally, USD twitter says that admissions will be rolling out in the coming weeks. We had high hopes we would hear with others but it looks like we need to be patient. Looking at last year’s post there were kids who received their acceptances all the way to the end of March. Sigh. This is one of 11 acceptances we are still waiting for in March and April. Hope it comes soon!

Thanks for posting this… My daughter is waiting, too, and it’s so very hard. I really wish we knew the logic for the releases… is it by submission date? A candidates ranking in desirability? It would be so helpful to simply know the guidelines. The waiting is tortuous. My daughter is in the same boat as yours… so many colleges left to hear from. Has been accepted and received some very generous offers from quite a number at this point, but the ones she truly wants, that best match her future plans, are still at large. :-/

It sounds like they started with west coast admissions first since most people were either accepted in state and if they were out of state they were in states surrounding CA. Read last years admission page and they thought Honor students were admitted in the first wave
Hi! She is a communications major and theater minor … We just loved that school and the town is sooo cute!
It’s smaller (8000), we met really great kids there, not a huge party-til-u-puke vibe which we found at SDSU, small classes, teacher relationships it’s super safe to walk around and it was just a perfect fit for her!
My son would have hated it lol, so each kiddo is different, but we finally found her perfect fit! (12 college tours later, lol)
How about yours?
my daughter received her merit notification for alcara in the same email as her acceptance notification last night

My daughter got in and was offered Alcala scholarship (25k). She also received top scholarships at LMU and Chapman, and a couple schools back east as well. Since they all have similar costs and they all offered between 25 & 35k in merit aid, its a tough call.
She was very excited about Univ. of San Diego initially because of the study abroad and their campus is gorgeous, but I think LMUs honors program guarantees housing for 4 years - which is a huge beneit. Since these schools are comparable, I imagine others on here applied to some of them as well as USD and I would love to hear your thoughts on how they compare.
