Son, EA, OOS, $86K, 1390SAT, #1 in class … awaiting USC HC notification which seems will come out on Feb 14th… but I see that some in-state and/or top scholars might already have been notified of USC HC at time of EA… its mostly an ego thing b/c EA into top five engineering schools like GT and may go there… but the HC are tempting b/c they shepherd those kids through their four years… time will tell. If any readers have insights do advise… will check back this weekend!

The 12/22/22 wave came out at a little after 5pm

We are in state, daughter was accepted EA in November and to the honors college in December. Acceptance in November said she would get merit and would find out amount in March. Yesterday we got an email that her US Citizenship status had been verified and today got an email that her SC residency has been verified for in state tuition. Could it be that merit is coming soon? I can’t remember if it said ā€œbyā€ March in her EA acceptance.

we are OOS and received acceptance to HC shortly after EA acceptance

Would the first round of regular decisions come out with honors decisions?

My OOS daughter did not apply to the honors college, did not have any merit offer mentioned in her admission letter, and she just received the email about her US citizenship being verified. I don’t think that verification has anything to do with merit.

My daughter received her Honors acceptance in Dec. came out basically the same time the regular acceptance did around 5pm. OOS 1480 SAT #1 in her class

Does everyone get an email about accessing financial aid information? My DD is OOS regular decision and just received an email last night.

Kid got one about ā€œunsatisfied requirementsā€ and have to log in to Self Service, which he hasn’t set up yet … because… he still has to see about offers and he’s not committing until he does but apparently he can’t see fin aid until he does. What the heck???

Yes, and previously the VIP ID activation email.

Thank you Gator Mama. I was curious because she has not received an acceptance just yet since she is regular decision.

Oh right, that jogged my memory. That’s the one where we get an error message - ā€œNo record found based on the entered values.ā€ - and he wrote to ask what was up with that and never got a response.

Not sure if my daughter got it but we did get a verification form to fill out from financial aid last week. Shes also regular decision (who applied early September!!!)

My daughter applied RD also and received the emails and verification form and I know others that received it as well even though not admitted yet.

I don’t think mine received any emails to set up a VIP ID though so it’s possible she gets deferred or waitlisted during the RD round.

nope she did receive the email to set up the VIP ID.

My daughter got that email today too. She was accepted EA in Nov and HC in Dec. She hasn’t logged in to self service before either. I noticed it said in the email to email them and let them know if you don’t plan to attend USC. Well my daughter isn’t sure yet because waiting to see the financial aid first! I saw others mentioning something about a VIP ID. Is that what’s needed to log in to self service?
