USC Columbia 2nd Review/Deferred students 2023

Clemson parents and students discovered a hack to their server and are finding out online … Wish someone would figure out one for USC! MY DS is not at all concerned but obviously I am…

We have acceptances already from Clemson, Penn State-main, University of TN, Auburn, University of South Florida, Ohio University, University of Louisville, East Tennessee State, Valparaiso and East Carolina University (only in-state he applied to) and waiting to hear from Washington State. We are still on 2nd Review from South Carolina… status now just shows a small clear box with pic of building under it.

@GvilleMOM85 we used the Clemson hack to find out about Clemson acceptance. You could try to register for admitted student day.

I know someone who got accepted and when he clicked on the 3/23 admitted student day it told him it was full while for us it says “access denied” so I’m not sure if that means we are getting a decline letter in the mail.

Yes, my D was accepted in 2/1 into the exercise science program.

just tried to register for accepted student day. access denied.

Update: friend who got accepted was able to register for the April event although March wad full so looks like if you’re admitted, you will be able to may be able to register for April.

Oh well, this may mean we are not getting in on 2nd review since getting access denied for both days.

unless your access is denied until your account updates…

@karab1022 possibly

access denied too :open_mouth:

Most students who applied to Clemson have received their letters yesterday. I got my acceptance from them… Seems like USC is taking their sweet time sending out theirs

My daughters friend was also deferred (same with my DD) and got her acceptance yesterday. My daughter got accepted to CofC and decided to commit there. It was a tossup between CofC and USC, but the whole acceptance process at USC has been a total turnoff. She has already picked suitemates and applied for a dorm.

Anyone in 2nd Review received decision after Banner Changed? I do feel (hope) that portal changes represent the steps they are taking in reviewing the application internally, that somehow causing the portal changes (glitch?). For us 2nd Review banner changed few days ago to "regular"screen with a small question mark “?” (still in review? not ready to make decision?) on top/middle of the page. And now the ? is gone (decision made perhaps?). Grasping at straws here, but just want to know already - one way or the other.

Abch2023… our portal has changed the same as yours … I think last Friday it changes worth the ? And now there is a blan box?

I meant to say blank box!

I have the same banner y’all do but I applied for regular admission and have not received admission yet. Does this mean anything?

We still have the question mark- and I agree, I think it means something since everyone’s second review banner is coming down at different times. Curious if anyone who’s banner is down has received an answer yet? @ionlywant2go2USC I think that clarifies that they are pulling people out of deferrment status and into RD for evaluation.

no change in banner, still the photo of U of SC

I got accepted into Clemson too! You would think if we got accepted into Clemson, we would definitely get accepted into USC but ??‍♀️ Idk

Oh okay. That makes sense

My second review banner came down about a week e before I received my acceptance letter last week. My friend who got her letter yesterday after being chosen for second review also experienced this a few days ago
