Did anyone from the Bay Area get the box?
is it appropriate to send a thank you note to your assigned admissions counselor?
Got in from Philadelphia!! Checked my mailbox after school to see nothing in it until I looked down infront of me and saw the white box, totally freaked out. Would have never thought I would get in, much less be offered to interview for the Presidential scholarship especially after being deferred from Tulane. Will post stats soon!
Alright I’m on the way home right now. My heart is beating so fast lol. Let’s hope for the best.
Nada zilch here in Northern San Diego county. Time to focus on UCLA. [-O<
I’d love to hear the stats @Nomorelurker
@Laketahoe79 Not exactly sure. Maybe @cadreamin can address that.
@USCbound2022 Well, in terms of USC, informed delivery with USPS does not work. USC does not pay to make their white boxes in Jan or March trackable.
@kevbostic Of course. Once you are admitted, they are gratified to know that their work is appreciated 
I’m still at school (northern san diego) and I seriously don’t think I’ll get it so like no expectations but I had some rough finals lol so did anyone in san diego get results?
@SOoverthis My son is applying for dance. From these last few weeks of messages and helps from @WWWard @CADREAMIN @ChenXiaoYun I understand the performing arts kids have to be accepted through auditions/interviews first. Last year at the USC Kaufman School of Dance open house I was told the major scholarships are allocated to the school/department, numbers awarded depend on how big the school/department is. I think my son would be qualified academically. 4.67 GPA/1540 SAT. He is a happy doer, passionate in many things (maybe ADD)…in addition to dance, he did many years of soccer and music. He is a founder of a nonprofit organization, funding music therapy research and performing in many nursing homes locally and teaches dance at a under-served elementary school two days a week. Designed and built paid and nonpaid websites for businesses and nonprofit organizations…we live in SCA and didn’t receive the magical box. Well we don’t even know if he will get in the dance school. Dance school is pretty new and usually around 500 applicants and about 20 are accepted. Looks like it’s even harder in some other well established arts schools such as film, drama, etc.
NY got packages today
I have a 96 unweighted avg and a 1380 SAT
Have hope because dreams do come true
@WWWard So both of you kids did not get any direct merit? Were they both NMF?
@Moviefan5911x nyc?
Received box in NYC. Accepted into SCA!
Has anyone from San Diego received a package. I did not today and I am wondering if I should just give up hope
I’m in Central Jersey, and I didn’t receive anything today. Do you think there is still a chance I can receive something tomorrow?
@Ploince most San Diego people are still in school
Darn - son just read on Reddit that someone in Raleigh NC got one today. We are in Raleigh too but no box. 
Has anyone from Texas received anything? No update in my portal and no box. Its highly unlikely I’ll be nominated for a scholarship (or even be accepted lol) anyway though.
Congrats @ventri ! Would you mind sharing stats? I think you’re the first merit box for SCA we’ve seen.
Any from D.C. Metro hear anything yet?
