<p>Anybody that's on the wait list hear anything yet?</p>
<p>I’m not on the wait list, I’m actually an admitted student going to USC next year. I don’t think they’re going to pull anyone off the waitlist this year - and here’s why: on the admitted students group on fb posted that registration for fall 2013 was closing may 1st. Meaning that any admitted students who sent their deposits late are going to be denied. Do colleges usually do this? No, I don’t think so. USC probably had more deposits sent in than they intended and is now scrambling to avoid overcrowding.
There may be hope for you to attend in the spring, I don’t know how that works, so don’t give up!</p>
<p>Since when did U South Carolina become Princeton ? I’m curious because my D was waitlisted at USC but accepted to Florida (which by many ranking websites is a better school but that too is very subjective) I guess this is why there is a serious rivalry between USC and UF …Personally I believe USC is an awesome school but from here on in its Chomp Chomp Gators .My advice is don’t give up I hope you get in .keep the faith</p>
<p>My son was accepted for spring, waitlisted for fall. Just wondering if there was any chance to go earlier. He’ll have to go to school this Fall closer to home here in the midwest, but it would be nice not to have to do that.</p>
<p>Admissions FB page on Friday stated the following:</p>
<p>The 2013 freshman class is now full. The deadline to confirm space in the class was May 1, and we are no longer accepting enrollment deposits for the summer and fall 2013 terms. Waitlisted students will be contacted by mail regarding options for enrolling for a future term.</p>
<p>If you have questions about admission to South Carolina, please call our office at (803)777-7700 and ask to speak with an admissions counselor. We would be happy to assist you and discuss your future enrollment options.</p>
<p>Wow, I didn’t realize how popular USC has become with OOS students over the past several years. My son will be a freshman in the Fall and can’t wait to get there. As a parent I’m thrilled with the school’s rising profile.</p>
<p>jm, with all that they have going on, by the time your student graduates, his USC degree will probably be more valuable by the time that he graduates.</p>
<p>30 years ago when I was starting my college career, they pretty much accepted average students, now even students who just barely make the cut have to be better than average, if the trend continues, in a few years they might only be accepting students who are way better than average students.</p>
<p>USC now is pretty much maxed out in size. They guarantee housing for all freshmen students, but they have very little housing for upperclassmen, and all classes pretty much are maxed out. Until they expand the campus and add additional student housing, I seriously doubt that they will be expanding the number of students that they except. It’s my expectation that for this reason, during the next few years we will probably be seeing a larger and larger percent of applicants rejected.</p>
<p>Orange, USC is far from being Princeton, but Florida is also a fine school and I am sure that your student will be very happy there and will thrive. sometimes the inexplicable happens with college acceptance, especially with OSS, it’s just a thing. I bet anything that there are probably some students who were accepted at USC but not florida (or waitlisted at Florida). Don’t be disappointed, be excited that your student is going to be able to get a great education at UF!!!</p>
<p>I know this thread is about freshman but reading that the freshman class is full scares me. Will a transferring soph have any problems?</p>
<p>I think I’d call admissions and talk to someone there. The deadline for transfer applications for fall isn’t until July 1 so seems to me that they must take students that apply that late. Remember that they don’t promise (and you’re not likely to get) housing for transfers, so that’s not a restriction on USC as far as accepting transfer applicants. However they can’t accept an unlimited number of students and not overload classes and teachers. I don’t really know what else they consider (major maybe?) so I would go straight to the source.</p>
