One of my S applied EA - he was deferred and did not get the decision yet. My other S applied RD and got his YES letter today.
Any other RDās hear back? If you did what major, just wondering if they have a method to decisions!
I just emailed an admission counselor there to ask here how and when theyāre sending out their decisions. So Iāll here back soon and type her response here, if itās helpful

Congratulations @1Neophyte and @terpiedad ā¦we havenāt received anything yet in PA, but are still hopeful. Keeping fingers crossed that something comes by the end of the week!
YES letter came yesterday. OOS. Second review after EA application. 1240 sat. 4.1 / 3.65 gpa
Weāre back to completely overthinking this whole process and the mystery of the decision method! I know that the second review due date is March 11. However, looks like lots of people from the second review pool are already hearing. Does anyone think itās a bad sign that we havenāt heard? Trying to stay positive but keeps getting harder! @Madison145 did you hear back from Admissions? Thanks!
@Badgersmom I completely agree with you, we are back to overthinking as well. Even though the website says 3/11 I am nervous about the lack of response when others are getting acceptances! My sonās stats were within the medium range, but not super strong by any means, so we may be hopeful but not confident. Unfortunately it is his #1 so I am afraid we may have some disappointment on our hands :-<
@MB2231 My daughter is middle of the range for GPA but lower range for SAT so this also makes us hopeful but far from confident! This is also her #1 which is making this waiting so painful! Curious that some people had their portal update before getting the YES letter. I guess this means she will be back to obsessively checking the portal! Thanks for the support! Good luck!
@Badgersmom sounds like we might be in the same boat, but because I have a boy I am the one obsessively checking the mail, portal, websites, forums, etc, lol!! Good luck to you as well! Hopefully we will have an answer one way or the other soon enough!
@Badgersmom and @MB2231 Iām right there with you both! What are your childrenās intended majors? It seems like itās mostly Business majors getting their letters right now. My son is Secondary Education. Iām still so hopeful and so so anxious.
good luck to all of you!! My daughter is also second review in nj and we havenāt gotten anythingā¦pls post any updates
would you mind sharing stats? we are also in nj. I donāt even want to tell my daughter people got YES packets she will be so nervous again
@threeforthree my son is a business major, applied to Darla Moore. Iām beginning to think he shouldāve went undecided:( The business school seems to be very competitive. Iām still holding out hope, but my confidence is waning.
@threeforthree my daughter applied to the Psychology department. Also thinking she should have gone undecided. My daughter did reach out and ask if she should change to undecided when she was put in 2nd review but never heard back. Hope we donāt regret not pushing back on that! So want to ask if the mail came today but I donāt dare! Will just have to wait for me to get home from work! Lol!
@Badgersmom and @MB2231 and @threeforthree - in the same boat with you. Emailed admissions counselor on Friday with no response yet. DM USC Admission on Instagram today asking if the decisions are released in waves? The response I got just said some still under review and will hear by Mid March - which I know is just their āstockā reply. We are from Virginia and have one son at Virginia Tech. South Carolina is top choice for other son. He wants to major in Sports Management. 1180 SAT; 3,95 GPA, so hopeful, but not confident.
Iāve been surprised that SC handles this so differently than all the other schools my older son applied to where they told you what the response date would be and posted it in the portal so that everyone got their decisions at one time. It was an easier process and helpful since all got their response at once so when they started to hit social media no one was left wondering if they were in or not?
Good luck to all - we will stand strong and prevail!
I got second review, but I received my acceptance letter on February 4, 2019. Here are my stats:
- Instate

- 21 ACT

Extracurricular activities: HOSA, BETA Club, National Honor Society, Key Club, top 10% of my class
@MB2231 My cousin is currently a business major student at USC and their business school is not that competitive. Iām always on campus
Thanks @golfmom2023! Congratulations @collegeme2023 Happy for you and thanks for listing your stats!
If anyone has any questions about USC and itās campus, I would be glad to answer them. I am an instate student who is on their campus all the time and I have siblings, relatives, and friends who go there!
