Not the most important factor for me but would love to know what it’s like there. I know it’s catholic, but does that have a great impact?

hey! i’m applying to usd in fall 2024 and i would love to go here but i was wondering how do people seriously pay for it? do they give generous merit aid? if so would some people mind sharing the stats that got them aid?

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

I hear all the time about students at CA state universities having trouble registering for the classes they need because they fill up. It sounds like it’s especially bad for computer science majors. Is this a problem faced by computer science students at USD? Have any of you experienced a semester where you couldn’t take a class you needed because it was full or otherwise unavailable?

I’m a senior in high school and trying to decide where to go to college. I am considering USD because I am in love with San Diego, it’s my favorite place. I was considering sdsu but I missed the deadline to apply so I applied to usd. I’m most likely going to major in psychology. I was wondering what the social life/culture is like? Is everyone stuck up? Is it easy to get involved?

I know acceptance letters get rolled out next month and I’m getting nervous. I’m an out of state transfer with lots of volunteering/work experience and a 3.68 GPA (I did get really bad grades my freshman year due to health issues). I’m pretty much a B+/A- student now. I am out of state so I don’t know if that hurts my odds. If anyone knows about their transfer acceptance let me know! Thank you!

I visited with my service dog who’s a golden retriever on club day around feb 15th if anyone saw me!

What date did everyone hear about acceptance last year?

I'm planning a campus visit because I need more info about an LLM I wanna enroll into, but I can't on weekdays because of work. Is Saturday a good day to go and ask for additional information? Particularly for the Law School. Thanks!

Me and my friends are going to the USD game tonight but one of us aren't vaccinated. If he just has a negative COVID home test result can he get in?

Has anyone here met him? I have an important question to ask.

I am curious to know mainly about the computer science and math fields at USD. I am hoping they are mostly in person. Any input would be great

I’ve been admitted for Spring Semester and am trying to find off campus housing and roommates. Any advice on where to look?

With finals coming up everyone is cramming the normal study and work spots like the library and learning commons. I’m just curious if y’all have some quite, secret ones that you would be willing to share. Thanks!

Hey everyone I am thinking about applying. What were your stats and ECs in high school?

Hi guys, I came from Toronto and I'm new here. I was top 20 U18 in Canada and I just picked up a racket after a while and I'm so down to hit some balls regularly. I live close to campus, hmu if you're interested to play sometime.

Hey everyone. Does anyone know of a good spot to take a quick 30 minute nap on campus? My undergrad had these nap pods and a bunch of good spots in the library. Any suggestions?

So to graduate on time (this coming May) (I transferred here and switched majors), I'm taking 18 credits this semester: I'm a Finance major

2x Fina 400 classes

1x Thrs 1xx class (shouldn't be too bad)

1x Eltw 3xx (Business Law)

1x Dsci 3xx (Business Analytics)

1x Mgmt 3xx (Upper div writing)

Last year I maintained a pretty high GPA (3.90~) taking 15 credits each semester (it might have been easier since school was fully online), and I would consider myself a pretty dedicated student and I'm lucky to not have to work alongside school at all.

Is this doable or am I setting myself up for failure?

Does USD deflate or inflate GPA?

Does USD have good research opportunities for Pre-med students or other science major students?

Does USD have good pre-med advising?

What is USD’s matriculation rate to med school? (Doesn’t have to be an exact percentage)

Thank you in advance for reading this and for answering any questions you have the answers to!

I heard that students are required to live on campus for their second year. Is this true? And is there any way to bypass it?

Does Maher hall single dorms have their own bathrooms? And do students have overnight visitors in general even though it isn't allowed? Do the RAs check to see if there are?

Hello,

rising senior in high school looking at this school. ive heard it's not the best for STEM--its better programs r in business-related fields? however im interested in behavioral neuroscience as my major and potentially premed or healthcare management. can someone speak to STEM/my major here and if there's plenty of opportunities or if those are lacking?

thank you!

Hi! I’m a current senior at a state university and I’m really interested in this program. I’d love to speak with anyone who is in this program and ask some questions/network.

Or if anyone has heard of the program and could tell me if it seems like a good option for someone interested in sustainability, environmental justice and social justice. Thankyou:)

Anyone have any insight? I am currently looking for around a $2k fixed price project with a 50% upfront deposit. I have been a dev on and off since 07 and also been building a dev team.
