OK starting this link for us students who are now under 2nd Review or Deferred
The counselor did say that you may post an updated transcript for this semester’s grades and schedule for the last semester. They will not take any letters, etc.
Will people please post their stats once they find out if they’ve been deferred/ put on “secondary review”
deferred - (In State) GPA 4.0 SAT 1030 ACT 19

Still no mail, but portal updated today to say we were flagged for a second review.
OOS, 1220 SAT, 3.4 GPA at a competitive private school, 4 year athlete, varsity captain, leadership roles and other ECs
Very bummed because we already have answers from most of our schools so we’d love to be able to finalize decision.
2nd review. 1240 SAT 4.1 / 3.65 gpa. OOS in NC. And still nothing in the mail today
deferred, 2nd review…1070 SAT and 4.2 GPA…in state
portal has been updated. deferred. 3.0, 1120, OOS
This is funny…check you emails! Just got an automated one saying that the portal has been updated and due to the holiday volume of mail and inclement weather, you letter was delayed. HMMMM…sounds like a cover up.
One question, how come the “yes” envelopes got delivered before the deferred?
Nothing in the mail, but the portal updated. My son was deferred, in state, 1100 SAT, no ACT, GPA 3.2 unweighted. I hope they take senior grades into account, he’s working hard this year!
2nd review…are you kidding me! 1220 SAT, 3.9GPA OOS.
Second review here
OOS
3.5 GPA
1150 SAT
One disappointed kid in this house
Second reviewed/deferred
OOS
3.86 GPA
29 ACT
Buddy at my school got lower ACT and GPA but was accepted early
@sonnydnj @toppingpfc15 yes the stats they used for acceptance and “second review” don’t line up at all.
31ACT here - All AP/Honors - Great Essay and letter of recommendation.
I wonder if what I have seen on here if the 28-32 ACT kids that applied to honors vs those that didn’t were given more of a priority review…the ones that stated they applied to honors program but had similar or slightly lower stats got answers earlier it seems.
@HHSMomx2 I applied to the honors college and my friend did not. I really don’t understand what they used to flag me as second review. And my friend wasn’t too far from my ACT and GPA
2nd review:
OOS
1220 SAT
4.0/4.3 GPA
7 APs, 1 Honors
National Honor Society
Virtual Enterprise, VP of PR
Founded two clubs on campus (FCA & Beach Vollleyball)

applied to Darla Moore Business School
Average of the students that got YES decisions was 1270 SAT, told to us by admission rep. UofSC also posted on Instagram how excited they are about the highest SAT average for a class. So most that were below 1270 got 2nd review notices.
Has anyone still not gotten their letter? We haven’t here in SC. Unbelievable! Thank goodness they updated the portal, which should have been done all along.
