University of South Carolina EA 2025

Did anyone who got deferred NOT receive the VIP Portal email? I am worried that I did not get the email, however, last year someone got denied after receiving the VIP portal. Very deceiving.

My son was deferred and hasn’t gotten any recent emails.

What were his stats if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to see if there’s some sort of correlation between receiving emails and getting deferred.

UofSC just announced on Facebook that more decisions are out

Anyone get a decision? Nothing for my DD yet. Getting frustrated with their process.

I just got accepted

They went on to say on Twitter that this was the first round of regular decisions and there will be another release in mid-March.

Congrats Daniel!

I was deferred should I change my major to undeclared to have a better chance ?

I have a friend who’s daughter was deferred in ea and just got accepted.

My daughter was deferred from early action… she received an acceptance yesterday. Undeclared major, OOS, 3.8 weighted GPA.

Has anyone seen any information on financial aid yet?

Never mind. I just got my answer from the office. Released in April!!! I wonder why so late? Earliest EA deadline and latest FA.

Last year, UofSC sent out the merit notification on 2/26. Hopefully they will send out notification this week.

Why did they tell me April then?

Ugh… really hope it’s not April… kids have to be on campus 4 months later

Website still says this… Merit-based Scholarship Information: Final notification for merit-based scholarships and Capstone invitations will be sent by mid-March

I hear you there. Maybe the person responding to me didn’t have correct information. April sounds so late. Most people will have committed to a school by then. With so many options and knowledge of merit for other schools, how is a student and family supposed to wait until April to make a decision? Ugh.

Does anyone know an estimate for what % of the freshman class is expected to come from EA? And when are the RD admissions coming out? My daughter was admitted EA and I’m trying to get a feel for the housing situation and if we should pay the $200+$150 just to get in the queue for housing even though my daughter isn’t 100% committed yet (mainly because merit isn’t yet final).
