Why is she expecting a deferral? Where else has she been deferred and accepted? This is all so nerve wrecking!
She applied test optional and it seems that most competitive schools are deferring the test optional students the first go around. Simply because of the volume of EA applications they are receiving. She was also deferred from Auburn. She was accepted to UofTampa, LSU and Coastal Carolina. We are waiting for UofMiami and University of FL (both are reach schools). This is the second time around with this process for me and it def does not get any easier.

I agree!
If you go by last year’s thread I think the decisions came out around 4ish - so hopefully they follow suit and we only have a little while to wait!!

Everything I’ve been reading, and this seems to apply to some other schools we have applied to as well, is that the first round of acceptances are the high stat kids (gpa and test scores only). Others are deferred, and that’s when they start looking at teacher recommendations, essays, and extracurriculars.

South Carolina recalculates your GPA based upon the South Carolina Grading System. So I dont really know how that computes. They use percentages I think…not just A,B,C,D. So Its unclear what my child’s GPA is on their system.
Does anyone know if everyone gets an email today with some status update on their application or if it is just a select group?
My understanding is all EA applicants will get a decision - accepted, deferred or rejected.
We are waiting. I thought everybody knows today?
We thought so as well. Please post if you hear?
Does anyone’s portal say access denied?
