I know he had a 3.7 unweighted and went test option, consistent work experience, 2 travel/study abroad experience (Japan & Italy/Switzerland) and Lacrosse. Not over the top ECs. I think his SC GPA came to like a 4.3 maybe (I’m having a hard time remembering). He ended up with 14 credits transferring to USC from Dual Enrollment mainly. Only 1 AP class total (he school only offered 3). We are from Vermont and 9 total kids applied. 4 ended up going. I think the month in Japan helped a ton since he was applying for International Business.

Wishing all the OOS students waiting to hear this afternoon good luck! My daughter is currently a 2nd year Gamecock and we’ve been very, very pleased with her overall education. She’s been happy with the classes and the social life!

What time do we think the OOS decisions drop?

they said late afternoon. So I am think may be any time between 4:30 to 5:30 pm.

I honestly don’t know… 2 years ago, they took the top 3-4 students by GPA within EA… others via RD and waitlist. So in the end, they accepted a great range of students…it just might take longer for some to get an offer.

Does anyone know what time this came out last year?

a few days ago, someone said 4:30pm et last year on 12/17 for their child.

I just looked at last year’s thread, and it looks like closer to 4:00 EST. But who knows for this year.
