USD Class of 2024

Not yet! I’m up in NorCal so hopefully soon!

Do they release decisions on weekends or just during the week?

Has anyone gotten rejected or will they send those out later?

Gotta say it, USD honor college essay prompt is by far my least favorite essay prompt I have ever seen for a college application.

I received acceptance letter in mail

@hoopshooter200 one reason I could see for them not getting asked to apply to honors despite getting that much money is the GPA. Having a 4.0 unweighted but 4.33 weighted would mean a lack of honors or AP classes, so admissions might think your child didn’t challenge themselves enough in high school?

Whereas I’m the opposite, so although I only have a 3.7 unweighted, my weighted is around 4.55, a difference of 0.85 vs 0.33. Aside from that, it could just be down to extracurriculars or service hours…

@anonymous5583 Are you from Cali?

Possibly. My school doesn’t have weighted grades for honors courses, only AP. I took all honors math and English, which technically lowered my weighted gpa, and took 9 AP courses throughout high school

Does anyone know when students who were asked to apply for honors will find out if they are in?

What does the envelope look like? I saw something with palm trees on the front in an email from USPS and was hoping it was from USD but it was just an invitation from Pepperdine. Anxious to find out the scholarship amount (if any)!

@raisinsmith Same!

@raisinsmith it’s a dark blue 8 1/2 x 11 envelope!

Has anyone been rejected yet?

Just received my acceptance package in mail! For those wondering it does include merit awards ??

D received her package today too! $21K/year Trustee scholarship. Makes sense it was not the $25K since that level is auto-invited to Honors, and she did not have an honors invite.

For the people who received their packages if you don’t mind sharing: stats, and how much merit received. Maybe also the area you are in.

@8461student My D has a 1470 SAT/ 4.3 W GPA/ 3.6 UW GPA. IB student. We are in CO.

Have any legacies heard yet from USD?

@moundalay my son is legacy and we found out through the portal, with an honors invite, that he was admitted. We are in NJ so no acceptance packet yet. We hope that will be tomorrow.
