What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Admits who shared grades mostly had GPAs between about 3.8 and 4.0, a strong high school record.
- Most admits who named a round (6 of 7) applied Regular Decision.
- Many admits held sustained leadership roles, like drum major, newspaper editor, team captain, club officer or student government.
- Some admits started a business or outreach project, such as a creative agency, a resale business with software, or STEM outreach.
- Several admits said strong essays and recommendation letters helped their applications.
- Students report merit awards and some aid details arrive by email and do not show in the student portal, so check both.
- Students report USD has no early decision or early action for undergraduates, so everyone is treated as regular decision.
- Students report institutional grants of roughly $23-25K a year for some admits, yet cost remains hard for many families.
- Students report the net price calculator can miss by $20K or more, so wait for the real aid package before deciding.
