@golfmom2023 I’m pretty sure College of Charleston - not a bad option 2! Has been nice having the support here! G! Congrats to those who received Gateway options! @christinatoto was your letter the first you heard of this? No portal update?
I was waitlisted
@Madison145 your hope stays alive! Do you have a portal change?
No my portal didn’t change, but there is a small percentage who actually get off the waitlist. But I committed to my 2nd choice and South Carolina was like my 5th choice and I’m waiting to hear from one more school Good luck to all of you, even though you have a small envelope it could be a waitlist. Mine was a small envelope, I was expecting a rejection. @Badgersmom
Well, the dreaded white letter was a waitlist. I guess that’s something! Based on our other options, we will stick around and wait.
do you think any one will be receiving a yes or have acceptance been all sent out already?
Turns out our small white envelope was for Non-residential Bridge Program. Doesn’t seem like an option for someone OOS. Guess we can officially move on! Thanks and good luck to all! @jilliansmith46 I wouldn’t make any guesses at this point, but stay positive!
amkerr, Surprsied to hear that. What did your son put down as his major?
We are from OOS. Son was accepted today but not into his first choice, business. Accepted an an economics major.
Son received his yes package today. Portal still not updated. Spoke with an advisor yesterday and informed us a decision was made and we will be receiving a decision by March 12. We kind of figured he would not be accepted.
@Badgersmom ours was that Non-Residential Bridge Program as well. Why would they even bother? Does not make any sense to me as that is not really an option for someone OOS. Anyway, we are officially moving on as well. Thanks to all for your support over the last few weeks and good luck to everyone who was accepted!!
@3boys4m3 he was waitlisted per letter from today
Applied to business
I have hated their entire notification proces. We’ve been waiting to hear so we could just close the door on the “waiting game”. Portal hasn’t updated.
We still have one more school to hear from but he’s already narrowed down to top 2 choices.
Accepted at:
Penn State - visited 2/9
Clemson- visiting for 2nd time on 2/22
University of Tennessee- visited 1/25
Auburn - visiting 4/6
University of South Florida - visiting 3/30
East Carolina University - visited many times (alum parents) - attending event 2/23
Valparaiso
East Tennessee State University
University of Louisville - visited Nov 2018
Ohio University - visited Nov 2018
Waiting to hear from Washington State University
@amkerr what did you think of U Tennessee?
@2019stu it was nice enough but nothing really stuck out that made him think he could see himself there.
My son was also waitlisted today for Business. So disappointed. I had no idea the school would be this competitive…
Daughter applied in Oct…put into secondary review… waited again… now “wait listed.” Can’t take the continual rejection. She’s over it. Onto another school.
waitlisted. had a 1280 and 3.76. anyone know how many people they accept off the waitlist?
daughter waitlisted today… seems everyone who was deferred and didn’t receive an acceptance was put on waitlist. Makes me wonder how many waitlisted students end up getting admitted. Very disappointed. This was my daughters number one choice… wondering if reaching out to admissions rep could do any good

is waitlist better then gamecock gateway?
My daughter was also wait-listed. We have already moved on since she was accepted into her “reach” colleges that we plan to tour next month. Good luck to everyone in their college quest. It will all work out in the end.
FYI, prior years waitlist stats can be found on the school’s common data set. The admissions section describes how many students were accepted in past years. Please see the info at http://www.ipr.sc.edu/cds/cds2017/cdsc2017.htm
Best of luck to all
