University of South Carolina Early Action for Fall 2025

Well now our little “backdoor” site says “Submitted” instead of “Decided”. Doesn’t look good for us.

Our “backdoor” site said submitted earlier, changed to “awaiting decision now and looks dead on too the real portal

My son just checked his after me reading this forum & it’s blank now. Where it says application status: submitted is gone. What does that mean?

We are deferred from early acceptance with awaiting decision in our portal. OOS average stats going either way. Good luck to all

Does ur child still have a status? My sons is gone

Yes still says awaiting decision…but again we were deferred. I am not overly hopeful with what we refer to as averagely above average stats. At this point it is what it is.

Just looked - our backdoor has changed from “decided” to “submitted” - and the regular application portal still says “awaiting decisions.” This wild (slow) ride likes to keep us all on our toes apparently!

His is gone on both

main portal = awaiting decision

Meaning it is completely blank? No descriptions of awaiting, submitted, decided etc? A mystery, indeed!

Gone. No more submitted.

Gone what does that mean? Received the financial aid email but I know that doesn’t mean anything.

almost wish this “backdoor” portal thing was never even discovered. Got me checking 2 portals now. I’m starting to only believe whatever our real portal says at this point. Feel like paying attention to a “back door” portal just causes more stress.

Yes

Has there been any change on either? I actually forgot the link that gave me access to the backdoor portal… but have wanted to check it desperately! haha

I just remembered how to log into the backdoor portal but it just redirects me to my original one - not great… Seems others still can access both?

I haven’t been able to access the back door one for a couple days now. When I do, it just redirects me to the original

For what it is worth, I have left the backdoor tab open on my computer for a couple of days. Last night I could see that it was changed from decided to submitted. This morning it has a “this session has expired” overlay and now just directs me to the login/regular portal. Most likely just a technology/experience fix - not indicative to decisions in either direction.
