UofSC Honors College and Top Scholars Class of 2025

They say that every year, but they send them out all at once.

Seems like admissions is getting loaded with emails, I haven’t heard back yet and typically do within an hour. If anyone is to get them today, I bet it would be around 5- that’s when Honors decisions rolled out.

Congratulations! Is she going? My daughter was accepted, too, and wants to major in biomedical engineering but I have concerns that USC is not well-known for Engineering, although I know the Honors College is top-notch. Thoughts?

Same exact concern here for my daughter!

Mine has UofSC very high on her list, but is still waiting to hear about HC.

We know a student in that program and they really like it, but I share your concerns about engineering. It’s the least strong program so far for mine (been accepted for engineering to NCSU, Clemson, ASU Fulton + Barrett, and UTK including honors), but she really likes UofSC. Going to be a little hard for me to see her turn down other opportunities, especially if does not get into HC, but she has to decide what feels right for her.

Same here. Mine is in Purdue, Clemson, and NCSU for engineering so far. And exactly as you said, it’s going to be hard to see her turn these others down (and others she’s waiting on like Vanderbilt and Johns Hopkins if she gets in), but it has to be what feels right to her.

Is TS weekend virtual?

Yes

So, I’d wager that most who are invited will attend bc these scholarships are the best that UofSC gives. Unless the student has totally ruled out UofSC, he/she will attend. They want to see what their offer will be. And they won’t even have to leave their home for the interview process.

I would agree that less will turn it down with not having to travel to SC. Plus there are less extra curriculars to interfere with the weekend.

So there’s no more chance of getting it unless someone rejects the interview or have they not sent all of them out yet I’m confused

They haven’t sent them all out yet. They are trickling them out now.

Why are they trinkling them out this year? Every other year it’s all come out on one day. I think we missed it :sweat:

I don’t think they are trickling them out this year. When I spoke to Admissions, I was told they are sending them out in 3 waves, like they “usually” do
 but they could add 10 invites. I figured Wave 1 was on Monday, Wave 2 was on Tuesday & Wave 3 could come later. I am betting emails will come out next week for those who did not get invites. I think most who were invited will attend; it’s been like that in the past anyway. This year it will be even easier to attend. Those are just my guesses. I also don’t think most ppl post about TS invitations. That’s why we haven’t heard of too many on this board. Plus, there aren’t too many of us on this board. I think some of the kids would not post about TS invite bc they may think UofSC is monitoring and they don’t want to ruin their chances anyway

I would expect another wave of HC admissions to come out soon. Would not be surprised if that happened by end of the week or maybe by Monday.
