I’m SOOOOO happy to hear you say this! My son said the people at the school could not have been nicer, more hospitable, or more helpful. He was blown away! Being from New Jersey, the southern hospitality won him over and he was telling me about flowers on the campus, how beautiful it was, and how informative everyone was (as well as how excited he was about future internship possibilities). All you can ask for is your student to walk around and say, “This is THE ONE”. He committed as soon as he got home.

PRAYING this is the case for my D when we visit… she’s had some real disappointments recently, and I would just love for those to “go away” when she sees UofSC in person. Fingers tightly crossed…

Congratulations!!! That’s awesome!!! I agree with everything he said. The southern hospitality I felt too! And you don’t feel it at all the southern colleges. USC still has the southern charm. The Flowers were beautiful. He’s going to love it! So excited for you and your son!

We were expecting to take it off the list so we can make it shorter… instead USC rose to the top. We were surprised and so excited about all the opportunities. We had visited before for regular outdoor tour but admitted students day was just so fun and well set up and the campus so student friendly and beautiful it’s just blew us away! My daughters friend also visited and was planning on going to another big state and has changed her mind and loved USC too… so I wouldn’t be surprised if your child loves it too!

We had visited USC last Spring but my daughter certainly loved the atmosphere of admitted student day last weekend and the small city life. We were a bit disappointed when we were told that all merit awards were released. Being OOS puts UofSC outside of our budgeted range without any merit and at a roughly $50k price tag there are some better options on the table if we were to pay that much.

I heard you can appeal if you did not receive any merit. If she really is interested might be worth a try. We had the same thing happen at a different school… what was one of the front runners offered nothing and can’t see spending over $50k either

In same boat this year did you end up getting merit in March?
Yes, she got a little over $40k/4 years. So, $10k+ each year. I am hoping my younger daughter gets that because USC is a top choice for her. Unfortunately, she’s not as qualified of a student as her older sister. 
Same boat for 2023. Did you get money offer in March??
Did anyone last year get the provost scholarship in addition to any other scholarships? How did the stacking work?

This is the info on their wed site for non resident. They also have info on resident. You can get to it all from this link I think.
Is SC accepting updated transcripts from deferred students? My son is telling me no he doesn’t think so but I’m wondering if pursuing and expressing interest will help the cause?
Per the deferral FAQ page, it appears your son is correct: " * Can I send additional information? Please do not send letters of recommendation, mid-semester grades, progress reports or quarter grades unless we specifically request them. Unsolicited materials will not be considered. In the event we need additional information, we will email you and post requests on your UofSC Admissions Portal." Good luck…it’s going to be a long wait here in our house!!
