U of South Carolina Fall 2025 Waitlisted

My son does not want to consider the abroad option. I think it is a great option when this is the #1 and only school a student wants.
Can you elaborate on what admissions meant by “unprecedented waitlist year”? Does that indicate a large amount received offers or something else?

All true. Will miss out on Fall rush if serious aboit greek and the call semester is huge.

We did the open house for Verto 2 weeks ago and by the end of the week, our daughter put a deposit for Florence. She saw the number of kids and then they did a break out by school, and the number of SC kids and she got a lot more comfortable. So, it’s either Florence or off the waitlist. And even if she gets off, she might choose Florence!

Hopefully we see waitlist movement this week.

Same here. I know 2 people last year who came off waitlist. What are the chances that I know 2 of the 15 people?!

The year that 15 came off the waitlist was Fall 2023 (current sophomores), not fall 2024 (current freshmen).

Heard from a rep that 1000 kids got off the waitlist last year. Has anyone heard from the waitlist yet?

We were on campus last week and I met a student that got off waitlist maybe 3 weeks ago for nursing program. She had not received the Verto offer.

This is the only one I’ve heard of getting off the waitlist. Last year, they started waitlist offers on 3/27, so this year is already different in terms of timing.

Our daughter did the same. On to Italy.

Hello,

Have any of your kids or anyone you know been pulled off the waitlist yet?

I called admissions today. The woman indicated they have recently offered enrollment to the “most competitive on the waitlist” for Fall. She don’t say how many. She said at this point mid May is when the next update will happen. I asked if they anticipate another release before then and she said the students will bear by mid May. So I took it to mean nothing until then. But who knows.

were those offers already released or are they being released today?

Thank you for sharing.

Already released.

Not feeling overly confident. 60k applicants and they can hedge their bet on first year dropouts or transfers via the verto offering. Lesson learned here is we should have applied for lesser sought after majors and worry about a transfer later. Probably would have scored a massive scholarship that way as well.

She’s off the waitlist!

Just got an email.

Good luck to everyone!!!
