University of South Carolina to Reinstate Withdrawn Freshman Applications for Class of 2020

Seniors, already admitted to the University of South Carolina, who cancelled their application but wish to have it reinstated should contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. This option is being offered by USC for students who, in light of the current situation, believe they now need a different college option for fall 2020. If you are a Cannon School senior who is interested in considering this, please contact our regional USC admission representative, Megan Gallagher, via her direct email.
