Elliott Ramirez
Admission Counselor

Hi, I'm Elliott, your University of San Diego Admissions Counselor. 

Hi! My name is Elliott, and I’m an Admissions Counselor at the University of San Diego. As a first-generation college student born and raised in San Diego, I understand how exciting and sometimes overwhelming the college search process can be. I attended Southern Oregon University for my undergraduate degree, so I also know what it’s like to leave home and experience college in a new community. I’m excited to help students and families navigate their college journey and discover whether USD is the right fit for them.

Why USD?
USD offers a strong sense of community, a personalized student experience, and opportunities for students to grow both academically and personally. It’s a place where students are truly known and supported throughout their college journey.

My top tip for the admissions process:
Show continued interest! Visit USD, connect with your admission counselor, attend events, and ask questions. The more you engage with the university, the more you’ll learn about whether USD is the right fit for you.
