I just got into my first school, Santa Clara, and I’m anxious to find out when USF comes out and all of my EA schools. Does anyone have any info on that?
Also feel free free to discuss GPA, SAT/ACT scores, extracurriculars, majors, etc. so people can base their chnaces off of other applicants.
I have a 4.0 weighted GPA, 29 on the ACT, and I’m involved in tons of community service. Hoping to be admitted as a Bio major.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!
My son just got an acceptance from St Mary’s and SCU. Like you, waiting for a decision from SF. Looking st last years discussions, a lot of people heard right around Christmas Eve.
Based on the last couple of years, Admissions will probably put the letters in the mail this Friday. That means applicants in the Bay Area would start receiving them around Tuesday of next week, and on throughout the week for people who live farther away. Of course they might do things differently this year, but that’s how they’ve done it recently.
Do they send the letters and update the portals? @oneofthosemoms
@MiraCostaMB, USF has never updated the portals in the past. They have always notified by letter, except in a couple of random cases where students received an email first. The portal has been exclusively used to update application document submission info only and not admission status. Good luck!
Christmas Eve, or even tomorrow, seems late relative to the “what’s next” message that they provide on the Common App, namely, “Fall 2017 Applications: Early Decision and Early Action decision letters will be sent mid-December 2016.” To me, when dealing with anxious applicants, “mid-December” means no later than the 15th! Hopefully when the first people start receiving letters, they can let the rest of us know! (We’re outside of Washington, DC, so we’ll likely be among the last to hear . . .)
Anyone in the SF area getting mail today?
I have a question for everybody who has applied. When I go to check my application status I click on my fall 2017 app under the processed section. Then in the top it says my application is currently being processed, please allow time for any submitted materials. It also shows they have received ALL my materials. I did early action. does this mean my decision will be coming in the mail this month?
USF Admissions tweeted on Friday 12/16 that EA decisions were being mailed out that day. So applicants should be receiving their decisions starting today - of course the closer you live to SF, the sooner you’ll receive it.
@amb702, assuming your documents were received on time, you should have your decision this week.
My friends in Southern California started getting their letters today
