University of South Carolina EA 2025

Do we know if any decisions will be released tomorrow? We were told that there will be multiple groups notified by mid-March. Number 1 is UofSC and was deferred in December, so crossing fingers for an acceptance.

Any updates on final merit numbers? Was really hoping would be today… this is dragggggggg ing out.

My daughters portal says mid march…

Definitely feel the same. Though keep have to reminding myself (and S21) that it’s “only” late February. Regular decision at many schools isn’t until April 1st, an eternity away! Would love to get some comparative info on final merit $ from UofSC and two other schools in the mix.

Nice, I have a 3.8 weighted and got deferred for easy action… I hope I hear back soon! im hopeful:)

I have a 3.5 UW, 3.82 weighted… I got deferred early action and am hoping to get in regular decision. When will we hear back? And is It still possible to get a scholarship if I haven’t heard yet? Also, do you think I have a good chance?

My daughter has a 4.23 GPA and was deferred. USC was her top choice but it’s the only school she hasn’t heard from. She’s been accepted to Clemson, Tennessee, App State (w/ scholarship), Charleston(w/ scholarship), Alabama (w/ scholarship) and Flagler (w/ scholarship). Waiting until mid March is ridiculous. She applied in September and is more than qualified. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, they need to take a good look at their antiquated process.

Your daughter seems like an amazing candidate - very baffling that she was deferred.

Thanks! I don’t remember the process being this rough back when I was applying to schools. Hopefully USC has the rest of the decisions out soon, so kids aren’t stuck in limbo much longer!

I agree the waiting stinks, but many schools decisions aren’t due out until late March, even early April. My twins got in EA at UofSC but we’re still waiting on 5 other schools decisions!! Ugh.

Nice to see your updates. If you are willing to share, from where are you still waiting on decisions? On this end, S21’s list is down to realistically four schools including UofSC. Hopefully not much longer for you!

My twin D21’s (one or both depending on the school) are still waiting on Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, U of Chicago, and U of Washington in St. Louis. How about your S21? What’s he waiting on?

Good luck with all x 2! Just waiting on Vanderbilt (regular decision), and then he’ll decide between there (provided there’s good news), UVA, UofSC, and UTK. I think Clemson, Texas A&M, and VCU are off the table for various reasons now.

Good luck to your son! We have a number that I think are off of the table too… Clemson, Purdue, VT and various Ohio universities (our home state). UofSC is top of the list for one daughter and UGA is top for the other, although that’s without knowing about the other schools we’re waiting on, and Vanderbilt is very high on their lists!

My son has a 4.8 GPA, varsity sport athlete for four years, pear leader, NHS , numerous other clubs and volunteer hours. We are OOS and he was waitlisted back in December for EA admission. Does anyone know when “mid-March” is for notifications?

Does anyones portal have a drop-down menu titled “application change request”? Not sure what it means but some people have it and some people do not.

Do you mean he was deferred to regular admission? My D was deferred as well, still has not heard. Expecting to hear today or Monday.

my drop down menu disappeared so i’m not sure if that means anything

Mine was accepted back in December and hers is still there. Who knows but I hope it is soon for all of you waiting!

Today might be the day! Hopefully.
