USD Class of 2024

Goodnight all. Congrats to the admits and good luck to those still waiting

D admitted (!) as an English major within the last hour. No Honors invite. Her portal never had the “in committee review” comment that others noted.

UW GPA: 3.9; WGPA: 4.37; ACT: 30; plenty of H classes + APs (taking 3 now), various sports, newspaper editor, + summer job

She will most likely apply to Honors Program even tho there’s no invite on her portal. Found the following: “High school seniors who have been accepted are eligible to apply in the Spring prior to entering USD. Students receiving the Alcalá Merit award will find the application materials on their USD portal. All other students should send a brief email to honors@sandiego.edu to request the application.”

Maybe financial aid info is currently not posted because of following:

“Financial aid offers will be posted throughout the month of March and possibly into April.” (Found this under “Key Dates and Timeline” on right side of my D’s “Admitted” page.) Also saw “Awards are automatically determined by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Your admission application is the application for the scholarships. Scholarship recipients will be notified in early March.” (Appears on this link: https://www.sandiego.edu/financialaid/scholarships/university-scholarships.php)

@MtnBikeRacer So if we received the Honors invite in the portal we will also be getting the Alcalá Merit award?

admitted! where does it say honors…?

This has been an exciting day. Congrats to everyone already admitted. Well deserved. Now, time to practice patience.

Did they send an email when the portal was updated or did you just have to check?

@arod1341 No email.

Still just says Complete Ready for Review. Hoping it doesn’t take a month for an answer.

@RidleyBCHS I hope you get in! Thanks for starting this thread:)

My daughter got in!

UW GPA 3.88
W 4.05
SAT 1370
4 APs

Interestingly, her portal still says Committee Review. And no Honors info I can find, but there are a lot of broken links on her portal. I’m using Firefox, maybe that’s why? I don’t know. But it’s allowing her to register for Torero for a Day.

should i call them if my applicant status box is completely empty? it doesn’t say committee review or anything. i used to see the checklist of items but now it’s gone.

Based on previous years, is it right for me to assume that everyone who got in the first day will be getting some kind of merit scholarship?

My D was admitted and invited to apply for Honors. No email was received and her applicant status still says In Committee, but she had the Admitted Students tab. She has good, but not great, stats:

GPA 4.3W, 3.75UW
ACT: 31 (superscore), 29 single sitting

Really good essays and ECs; including two national-level awards/experiences (NSLI-Y, BofA) and some high end scholarship competition success (CocaCola Semi, USSYP).

No info on Merit, but fingers crossed that’s coming soon

Son admitted and invited to apply to honors program.
32 ACT
3.85 UW/4.6 W GPA

Congrats, 2020CollegeDad, to your son!

Does anyone see their merit info?

I was admitted as well! Nothing about honors program, is it possible I can still be in it? Can we assume everyone that got in yesterday will be receiving merit aid?

32 ACT
3.93 UW GPA

Anyone hear back this morning yet? I assume they update application status at night.

Last year they began rolling out around 11 am, but this year it was at night, so not sure?

My son was accepted yesterday and I logged in today and if I didn’t know to look over to the left I would think he is still in Committee Review as that is what it says next to “Status”. The only indicator is the word Admitted all the way on the left side. This is not the best layout.
