Thank you for the detailed instructions - followed your path and it netted out bringing me to an application portal. The portal has changed to show the “application status: decided” and lists the VIP ID, USC User ID off to the side. The celebrate, events, next steps are listed on top. If you try to register for a admitted student day - there is the message “only for admitted students. If you think this message is in error…”

Looks promising but not going to mention to my kid. Will wait for them to get a check your portal email and wait for them to discover. This is the last school we are waiting on - and I got a bit too curious given the instructions you posted. I do feel a bit guilty if I found out before them AND who knows if it 100% official etc.

To clarify - If I just logged into my students regular USC admission portal that has been used to manage their application, I still get the status of “submittedawaiting decision” - it’s only when I followed your instructions through the admitted student days link, to login that it brought up a similar looking portal with the status of “decided” and the information I described above.

PSA to everyone talking about this portal stuff. I talked to one of my friends who is an admissions counselor and he said if you simply have a South Carolina login you can access this page that says you got in. Unfortunately it means nothing. We aren’t going to know anything until we get a decision from admissions. Not to be that guy but I’d just like to inform everyone.

Also, I have a friend who was DENIED from UofSC with a 2.9 GPA. He can access this page that says decision decided…

1082

Did you follow the directions and log in through the admitted student portal?

1083

We did not fill our Fafsa for USC.

Anyone not field Fafsa and still got that email? Thinking it’s only for those who filed Fafsa.

1084

Does everyone also have a USC ID listed? I would think that is only issued for admitted students.

It seems bizarre that everyone can access a page that says DECIDED and Welcome to the Class of 2029!

1085

It does not mean you’re admitted unfortunately. My son received the same thing 2 yrs ago & he was waitlisted.

Hi all, Has anyone heard when the official Regular decision date is? I know the website says Mid-March, but was wondering if there are rumors yet of a date or a week. Do you know if scholarship info will come at the same time?

1087

Last year decisions were rolled out from now until March. I believe merit $ is attached. My son a few yrs ago was waitlisted. Now waiting for this one. Last school

1088

I tried this and got the Decided page with a VIP ID and a USC ID. :woman_shrugging:t2:
Hopefully this at least means something will be announced soon!

We see VIP ID and USC ID. DS 2 years ago got VIP ID and was WL. USC ID - i don’t believe we ever saw last time, but I could be wrong.

Just to say this again. My friend was DENIED from here and has a USC ID and can access this page. So once again, this whole thing means nothing.

Yes, I agree means nothing. Had a friend check who doesn’t expect to get in and they had all of it as well, they said low stats and OOS. I at first was overly optimistic but my friend has the VIP and USC ID. Reach school for them, so now back to everyone has it. Ugh

If you don’t mind me asking did your child ever get off the waitlist? If so do you remember what the date was or date range. Thanks

Waitlist offers came late March last year.

1096

When I clicked on the Pay Enrollment button, it threw me back to the application portal where it still says Awaiting Decision…

1097

Sounds like your daughter got in!

Thanks for reiterating this!
