USC Columbia 2nd Review/Deferred students 2023

Good luck to everyone!

We applied for Computer Science major and also I should add that both my husband and I are alumni. Not sure if that helps at all. Hopefully youā€™ll hear something soon!

Just checked portal againā€¦still nothing. I agree with @golfmom2023 that this process is so different other schools. My son has been accepted to 5 other schools and the decisions were communicated via email and/or portal before letters were sent in the mail. It would make it so much easier if they would notify everyone at the same time so not to leave students wondering when all the posts hit social media. I am getting nervous about getting housing if we wait much longer. Unfortunately, USC is his #1, so the waiting will continue :-<

@MB2231 The school of business is extremely hard to get into, yes - I believe it gets top rankings nationally. But regardless I donā€™t think you should regret not applying as undecided because your son hasnā€™t been rejected and thats amazing. I also think USC is good about rolling people into their second choice if they can, rather than rejecting. @golfmom2023 and @badgersmom and @mb2231, I hope all of our kids get in. This process is so long and so hard. Fingers crossed, everybody.

yes @Badgersmom she said "No, we are not a rolling admissions decisions office. We are at times about to get decisions out a little faster than anticipated, which does happen on occasion within our office.

Generally speaking, we send all of our decision in the mail. All final decision for students who the deadlines will get a final answer by the middle of March.

and by the rolling admissions I meant by sending them out throughout these months before march 11

@MB2231 Our daughters first choice is USC too, so we committed to her second choice just to get housing in. If I lose $200 so be itā€¦

@collegeme2023 I think Darla Moore is pretty competitive.

When people are posting their portals change do they mean the credentials check link that currently says chosen for 2nd review ?

The top of the page changes to ā€œWelcome to the University of South Carolina.ā€

@lastone03 Well, it also depends on the major. My cousin is majoring in economics and my sister is majoring in accounting.

Has anyone 2nd review heard later in the week ? Clemson is mailing the majority of their acceptances todayā€¦
This is painful!!!

I called yeterday - they told me unfortunately 2nd review applicants get review with regular admission students, which I dont think is fair. They said deciosions will be mailed out BEFORE march 11h

@bjo114 did they say how MUCH before 3/11? And I agree with you @GvilleMOM85 , this is painful!!!

@MB2231 No - I asked her if letter were being released on 3/11? She said no before then

Well, portal has changed to just a pcture of McKissick Musuem and a small empty box?? It doesnt say the 2nd review box anymore and it also does not say Welcome to Carolinaā€¦Also, it just changed in the last hourā€¦

@GvilleMOM85 that sounds like it might be good news for you!! Congrats!

Or it could be he is in the see ya not happening pile !

@GvilleMOM85 Now, nowā€¦letā€™s not be so negative,think positive thoughts!! LOL!!
My DS portal didnā€™t change at all, so we may be in the ā€œsee ya, not happening pileā€ However, after researching last years forum, it looked like alot of second review applicants had answers by Presidentā€™s weekend which is next week so I am still hopeful!!

Can someone change my daughter? She applied early action but was placed in second review. She is on the lower end for stats with a 3.55 GPA and 1180 SAT. However she has taken al honors throughout High school and 4 APā€™s. She also has done many extra curriclers through high school. We toured USC last March and she fell in love.

@jilliansmith46 Are you in state or out of state?
