Has anyone recieved any Merit information?
DD admitted yesterday, but no merit info.
Any new decisions released today? D’s portal still has no mention of Honors so she must not have received an invite. From last year’s thread, it looks like acceptance packets came in the mail with merit/aid info – some about week after acceptance and others much later. Hopefully decisions aren’t as spread out this year so those waiting can get answers soon!
@momof3co I am pretty sure we will not hear of new decisions today until tonight again. I know for certain merit and financial aid are contained in the physical packet sent out by USD. I have informed delivery through USPS at my home so I am aware of incoming mail before it is delivered at my house as well. I would recommend it if you have anxious students in your household like myself.
Hi everyone! I have what I feel may be a dumb question…but if I have a tab on the left that says “admitted”, does that mean I am admitted even though my status says “committee review” under the applicant tab? The portal allows me to register for an admitted student day, but the admitted page seems a bit general to me so I wasn’t sure.
@spplst Yea, most people have the same thing. I would assume you were admitted. Congrats!
D received an acceptance via portal today. “Now that you’ve been admitted…” Did they mail formal acceptances? It just sounds like there would’ve been an acceptance preceding this.
Email @lilmom ? That is the first I have heard of someone receiving an email. Is your D’s portal updated as well?
@RidleyBCHS, sorry. I thought the screenshot D sent me was an email. It was her portal. This AM, she told me her portal wasn’t updated - I was specifically asking her about scholarship awards.
Alright, thank you for your clarification. @lilmom
My D looked but didn’t see any update and said that it’s usually pretty obvious and they send an email saying your status has been updated. Can someone tell me exactly where she should look? Has everyone been notified?
@cuppasbux Nope, only a handful of people have been notified. You’ll see an “Admitted” tab under the “Admissions” header on the portal. People have not received an email from USD when it was updated last night. USD does not seem to send emails saying your status was updated. One of the downsides of this process, unfortunately.
FYI…there is no admission letter on the portal which I am guessing will be mailed but does state the following on the portal…
CONGRATULATIONS!
Now that you’ve been admitted, we’re sure you have many questions about what happens next. The materials accompanying your acceptance letter contain much of the information you’ll need, but more detailed information can be found here on your MySanDiego portal.
Your portal will provide access to view your financial aid award, submit your enrollment confirmation deposit, register for housing, enroll in classes and more. The information in your portal will change frequently so please check back often for updates.
In addition to reviewing your portal, we hope you’ll plan a campus visit soon! If you’re unable to visit in person, you can explore our website to check out campus and learn more about Campus Life from afar.
Congratulations on your acceptance to USD!
Has anyone received notice today or just yesterday
No one today yet @Doubtfuleyes13 but again it was after 6 PM PST when they heard last night.
It looks like no new acceptances tonight. Acceptances were posted at about 5:45 PM PST last night.
Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear!
For those who were admitted last night, how do you know you were invited to apply to the honors college? My daughter’s portal doesn’t seem to say anything about that in her “congratulations” message. Are we missing it somehow?
@ChiGirl12 …I think the acceptance letter & package via mail should provide more details but the web page after you click “Admitted” shows as follows:
Column 1: Tabs
Column 2: Congratulations!
Column 3: Financial Aid Status
Column 4: Apply to the Honors Progr
After these headings, there is more detailed information on each subject.
It definitely could have been presented better…I hope this helps…
Yep - the far right column (once you click on Admitted) was where we saw the Honors Program invite
When there is no Honors Invite, the 4th column is “Key Dates & Timeline”.
I would not necessarily think you do not have an honor invite if you don’t have the honors invite on the right. We have seen it both ways on my son’s portal since he was admitted. Currently it’s there but it fell off for a while. I would call admissions is you aren’t sure.
