USD Class of 2024

Hey everyone!! I am back! Still no update here.

It’s March! Any day now!!

I also got my acceptance packet in the mail a couple of days ago but when I opened it, I received nothing of merit awards or anything of financial aid. All I got was the acceptance letter and the small packet about USD. Anyone else in a similar situation.

THANKS!

That’s strange! What were your stats jf20201?

@jf20201 For me, it stated my merit scholarship amount in the second paragraph of the acceptance letter

Has anyone been able to view financial aid info on their portal?

No not yet. It’s separate from merit aid, and I believe I read somewhere on the website/portal that financial aid would be released later during the month of March…

GPA - 3.9 Weighted
ACT - 25

Yep I know, terrible stats. I don’t even know how I got in.

@jf20201 You got in, so you obviously had a strong application. You should be proud of your accomplishments and work to get here. Don’t dismiss it as “terrible stats”! Congratulations on your acceptance.

@jf20201 what is your intended major? Do you plan to contact the school?

Did anyone get the full-tuition scholarship? (It does exist- before someone tells me it’s not on the website).

I’m planning to call tomorrow morning and my major was Computer Science

To be honest, I am pretty surprised I still have not been admitted. I know my application was submitted on the later side but I am an extremely strong candidate. I wonder if I am being considered for a higher-end level of scholarship or it is just that I am lower in the stack waiting to be looked at.

Also, @sunshuttle Where did you hear of this scholarship? As you said it is not on the website but did you hear it on a tour there or from what source?

My daughter’s portal says it is under “Committee Review” but there is a tab on the left side that says “Admitted” and says congrats on being admitted but none of the links are working. She has not received an email yet. I called to ask what this means but they can’t of course discuss it over the phone with me. She will email her counselor for clarification but wondering if any of you here have seen this same thing?

@Herewego10 Mine says the same!

@Mapmas are you assuming you are in? Hoping it isn’t some weird glitch.

I got in!

Received acceptance letter via regular mail. Indicates Alcala Award for which we are grateful. Awaiting other schools in the next few weeks but USD definitely an option now.
