USD Class of 2024

@baywojo24 Trust me it’s rough. At most its another week. My best friend from a local HS was admitted the first day they released them in Feb. It has been a long month. No matter what I am sure it will turn out the way that will be best for you and your future.

@RidleyBCHS CONGRATULATIONS!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Thank you! @collegemomjam

i can’t help but be worried since its so late in the game and I still haven’t heard back…does anyone know the approx percentage of students that are waitlisted? Does USD waitlist a lot of kids?

Hi guys! I was offered the alcala scholarship 25k and other ca grants but cannot pay that much. Any chance appealing would help them give me a few extra thousand?

Hello, @sparklymk . Last year 2500 students were offered a place on the waitlist. A total of 13,700 roughly applied last year so about 18 percent of all applicants are offered a spot on the waitlist. of those 2500, just under 1,000 accepted a place on the waitlist and about one third, a little bit above 300, were ultimately admitted off of the waitlist. My source is the common data set from last year: https://www.sandiego.edu/facts/documents/cds/CDS_2019-20.pdf

@RidleyBCHS thank you so much! and congrats on your acceptance :slight_smile:

suprised i got in good luck everyone

still nothing on my portal…

I got my email this evening where I was invited to click a link that played a video congratulating me.

Congrats, mb28060! The future is yours!

This process is certainly discouraging. Are they really still sending acceptances this late in the game or should my DD just move on with the choices she’s got?

Hey guys! Just got accepted last night! So excited to be a Torero… but was wondering are scholarship offers/financial aid come immediately or later. As of now I am not seeing any of the above. Hope y’all are staying safe.

I got my scholarship offer in the mail a couple days after acceptance in the portal-then financial aid comes out in portal a little later I believe.

@matoca24 CONGRATS! Very happy for you.

Hey, @hoertighouse1 ! I’m feeling very discouraged too. I’m in the same boat. A friend of mine heard she was accepted on Monday, so there is still hope. We both just need to hang in there for a little while longer. It’s almost April 1, and they will likely tell us on Monday.

No change to status, still C-RFR. We will all know one way or the other on or before next Wednesday. Best of luck to everyone.

Thanks so much! Thank you @user1130

@future2024 I just got the USD Instagram follow request too. My daughter still hasn’t heard anything. I think it is weird and not sure how they would link my Instagram with her application. I do follow usd admissions on Instagram so wonder if it was automatic to any followers. Hopeful this is hint she has acceptance coming but can’t imagine how they connect.

@CMCHX4 I follow the USD admissions on Instagram as well. We also receive emails regarding his application to both mine and his email addresses. What I find interesting is the admissions coordinator for our school, Mater Dei, is also following usdclass2024. I’m sure I’m looking way to into it, but at least it’s exciting for now.
