@Hobbs01 How did your D opt out of being considered for Honors? I thought that might have been the case for my D when you wrote that, but I can’t see that there was an option or mention of Honors anywhere on the app.
@momof3co Daughter says one of the essays asked which LLC resonates with them and she wrote her essay on Advocate. So she assumed that they would take that to mean she wasn’t interested.
I did Collaboration for my essay.
I see. My D had one on Illuminate so that must have been that essay?
According to the website, all honors kids are put in Illuminate. My son was invited to apply to honors and did the “Collaborate” essay. I don’t think they took which essay you did into consideration as it relates to being invited to apply to honors. I think it was just a good essay idea they had.
My status finally changed to committee review, after when can I expect a decision?
@freddiamond there is no correlation. Some people stay in committee review for a month some heard the same day, some people have been accepted and it still says committee review. It hasn’t meant much this year.
How are people finding out if they have been accepted if it stills says under review?
An “Admitted” shows up on their portal on the left hand side under Admissions (It will say: Announcements, Applicant, Admitted). If you click on it, it says Congratulations.
Have any non honors heard yet?
@moundalay My D was accepted Monday but there is no mention of honors on her portal.
Just got a package in the mail. Trustee scholarship. $21,000 per year.

Was not asked to apply for honors
@hoopshooter200 Congratulations!
@hoopshooter200 did you find out online before?
I am calling USD now in regard to the release of waves and I am on hold.
Yes, I was admitted on Monday 2/24/2020 at around 5:50pm.
USD rep says she had no specific dates for the waves but the portal is updated every 24 hours.
That is so stressful! Waiting anxiously.
Any ideas when next wave will be released?
Has anyone else received their acceptance package in the mail?
