USC Columbia 2nd Review/Deferred students 2023

Gateway for us as well - I don’t know anything about it. Is it true they live on campus and have all USC priveleges except pledging? That seems like a good deal - I’m assuming the cost is less since the classes are at the technical college. Anyone know anything?

Informed delivery shows an envelope from USC but it’s from the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships. Wonder what they could be sending since we haven’t a decision from admissions.

Well, no portal change here or anything showing up in informed delivery from USPS. I’m sure we won’t hear anything now until next week since it’s a holiday weekend. I’m going to try and put this out of my mind for the next few days and just hope for some answers next week!

Ok so our envelope was them asking for clarification on a change to our FAFSA.

Daughter portal changed too - Gateway for her too!!

@threeforthree Students will have to take their classes at Midlands Technical College. Gateway students do live on campus, but they can only live in the Bates House. That’s the residence hall for gateway students

thank you @collegeme2023!

gateway is a great opportunity to be given! im so excited! :slight_smile:

The letter we got asking for more info for FAFSA included a USC ID #. When I looked up what that is, I found this:

“Your USC ID is assigned to you when you are offered admission to the university or begin employment.

The last four digits of the USC ID is included on student’s acceptance letters.”

Still haven’t gotten anything in mail about any acceptance to gateway or regular entry.

Maybe tomorrow!

Check your portal. I checked my daughters Saturday and she got into Gateway. Paid the deposit today ???

I checked portal. Nothing updated yet.

Nothing here

Small envelope coming from USC admissions today so I guess that 2nd review is going to be a No. There are also two envelopes too large to scan.

Small envelope coming from USC admissions today for us too. I think it’s a no. But we already committed to her 1st choice school.

Same small envelope for us today in informed delivery. Guess its a no! Such a LONG frustrating experience. So over USC now - my dad graduated from there and I have no more love for that institution.
OOS
GPA weighted 4.0 - not sure unweighted - around 3.75
ACT - 25
7 APs, 1 honors
Applied EA Media Arts - Oct. 15th - been waiting since then.

Small white envelope for us, too. How disappointing after all this time and effort to stay in contact with admissions rep. Applied 9/16/18 and finally over on 2/19/19. Painful.

Has anyone who applied RD received a NO, or show a small envelope today?

Well, we have the same small white envelope too…so disappointing =((

deferred from EA to RD. rejection letter came today. NJ

I haven’t received anything but now at the bottom of the application checklist it says I’m missing an enrollment deposit form and 2019 next steps for fall and summer freshmen. So I assume that means I was accepted?
