2013-2014 University of South Alabama Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Check yr emails. I just got placed on the alternate list for south. Anyone know if this is promising in the least?
 
Also just got placed on the alternate list! If I remember right Mark Scott said they initially accept 76 and eventually end up accepting in and around 120.
 
I don't know how promising it is, but I do know that it is much harder to land on the alternate list at South than UAB, so congrats. I feel like you all have a really good chance at getting in....I know that doesn't help but that is how I feel after applying to South a number of times

Congrats to yourself for getting in! Your hard work has finally paid off!
 
Alternate list here as well. Really hoping and praying it moves more than last year!
 
It's always helpful to start one of these... just copy and add your name/anyone you know

I was thinking the same thing. Last year it looks like only a few out of 12 people on the alt. list on sdn got accepted and posted about it, and it was pretty late in the summer.

Mr. Scott said the wait list just didn't move last year like it does in a normal year, because they didn't have very many people that were also on UAB's wait list for whatever reason. Hopefully it will be more of a normal year this time around
 
Im sure the WL will move this year bc they have a decent number of students that are accepted that havent heard anything from UAB yet. Normally i think they may release the alternate list after they have a better idea where UAB stands on potential candidates. Also anyone hear of any rejections?

It does appear as though there are less ppl on the WL this year.
 
When I called and talked to Ms. Peggy she even commented on how behind UAB is. Seems South's wait list begins moving fairly late most years anyway

According to previous years, the south WL usually didn't start moving till after may 15

anyone get any scholarship so far?

A buddy of mine has gotten one, merit based. I think usacom has given out all of their scholarships. However, I think as people start to drop their acceptances money will be moved around.

Also, did anyone else get an e-mail today of subject "2014-15 DOCUMENTS NEEDED" from USA Financial Aid referring to "outstanding requirements that will prevent the awarding and/or disbursement of your financial aid"?
 
Yes, I got this email as well. I feel that this is because I listed South Alabama on my FAFSA as a possible school I will attend. I guess I plan on doing nothing about this until I am accepted (if that happens 🙂 )

I hope so man, Mrs. Terrel told me they decide on scholarships in the summer. Because of that I wasn't on top of everything, and may have lost my chance to get anything. It's my fault, I'm not blaming her, but I think it's BS that she gave me the wrong info :/

That seems consistent with what I've seen regarding scholarships on the threads during previous application cycles. My award letter says that the Sub-committee made the decision, so I'm thinking that maybe the full Committee meets in the summer to decide on the remaining awards once the class is set. On other threads, people have mentioned that she also told them the scholarship committee would meet in June. So I'm thinking that there still is hope to hear about a scholarship in the summer.
 
Does anyone know how long the WL for south typically is?
 
Well that is certainly good news! I've heard that they usually accept around 115-120 in total for a class of 75. Not to mention the FB group is only at around 40 right now (including those who have yet to hear back from UAB). Also, given that the first tier of UABs WL has around 40 ppl at most (and usually everyone on UABs First tier gets in), I think we all have a solid chance this year.

I like the way that sounds. I hope you're right!
 
Has anyone heard any news? Hopefully with May 15th coming up, we might hear something?
 
I will be withdrawing my place on the wait list since I am now attending UAB. Goodluck to all!!
 
Got an acceptance letter in the mail today! So unbelievably happy. Good luck to the rest of you. The list is moving.

Are you going to accept south, or wait and see what happens at uab? Also, do you mind telling me your stats?
