U of SC - Top Scholars

[Anonymous]

My daughter was just invited to the Top Scholars weekend for U of SCs Honors College. She would like to know:

If your child was invited to this weekend,
What other schools they got into and if any merit aid was offered
Where they ended up going

Thank you.

Southern California?

South Carolina?

Why doesn't your DD ask her GC this question? Or, check on College Confidential or Reddit?

Your response applies to every post on this board.

U of South Carolina

It is a very small pool. Only 45 out of 33K applicants, so it is difficult to gather data.

USC = University of Southern Cal.
U of SC = University of South Carolina

If you want to get technical, the University of South Carolina was founded first, in 1801, and therefore is the “real” USC.

Yes but didn't go. Came off the list as more merit offers came in from better schools.

I think that Top Scholars is impressive, OP. I wanted my DD to apply to South Carolina.

Has U of SC gotten more popular recently? If so, why?
