<p>Accepted 
i can finally use that word!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! (after being rejected from Oberlin and Smith). I feel sooooo good. and the FA was excellent :D</p>
<p>Woohoo got accepted too! :D</p>
<p>Oh I didnāt mention in that last post that I was also accepted with 15k a year. Post Smith-waitlist this feels realllllly good.</p>
<p>congrats girls on ur admission to mhc!! i got in during the first early decision round so ive been soo excited since december! cant wait to meet u all if u girls decide to go in the fall!</p>
<p>Iāve been accepted as a 21st Century scholar! </p>
<p>mzpeck, Iām not sure what the distinction is, but I do know that the 21st Century scholar award comes with a faculty tutorial, funded internship, and stuff like thatā¦maybe itās based more on academics and not leadership/ECs? I donāt know. </p>
<p>Iām not sure how this is going to work out: $20,000 is quite a lot, so is the $15,000 from my Smith STRIDE, but I havenāt gotten any FA from MHC and I donāt know what Smithās FA is yet.</p>
<p>A merit scholarship overrides what you would have gotten as need-based aid. As such, it is possible that some of you will not get any financial aid beyond your scholarships. Look at it this way: a scholarship is an award that is used <em>instead</em> of financial aid, not in addition to financial aid, lest your financial situation allows the latter to happen. Some of you will get financial aid on top of your scholarships, but it depends on your financial situation. If your EFC was about 25-30k, it is likely you will not get any more aid from any college that gives you merit-based scholarships. The twenty-first century scholars program is brand new; see here for information: [Mount</a> Holyoke College :: An Investment You Can Afford](<a href=āhttp://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/sfs/affordable.shtml]Mountā>http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/sfs/affordable.shtml). Good luck and congratulations to you all!</p>
<p>My D is in! I saw on this site that decisions were inā¦she is in Germany right now so I sent her an e-mailā¦had to wait and wait till she looked at it as they were out for the day plus the time differenceā¦she didnāt have time to look at financial aid as they were about to have dinnerā¦but its nice to know she is in if it works out. 5 down, 4 to goā¦</p>
<p>I got in with a leader scholarship, which is aweome!!! God, i really donāt know what to do. Iāve been so invested in seriously studying music in a B.M. program, and really just applied here on a whim because Iāve always like MHCā¦ugh acceptance is awesome but decisions are awful.</p>
<p>Admit with a Spring semester start. How familiar is anyone with this at MH?
Nice FA, but the late start seems like it would put you out of synch with entering class.
Any ideas?</p>
<p>I was admitted for Spring too. If you go on the admitted students website, thereās a section that explains the spring start in more detail. It looks like you can make up for the late start in a variety of ways.</p>
<p>There is a pretty big community of spring admits; congratulations to you!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!!! wohoo:) ā¦ took a while to log into the FA website coz the pin was sent to my Spam folder?? YAY Iām so excited!!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED wooohoooo</p>
<p>D was also accepted and is thrilled about the opportunity to attend MH. However like the poster above we are also a Spring 2010 admit. Odd in that we did not request that. </p>
<p>Does anyone have information regarding Spring Admission?</p>
<p>Take a look at this link from the MHC website:</p>
<p>[Mount</a> Holyoke College :: Spring Admits FAQ](<a href=āhttp://www.mtholyoke.edu/adm/13495.shtml]Mountā>http://www.mtholyoke.edu/adm/13495.shtml)</p>
<p>So is it a lottery that determines if one is a Fall or Spring admit?</p>
<p>No, I donāt think so. The Spring admission FAQ says, āThe admissions staff looks for academically capable students who might really enjoy the option to do something different before entering college.ā That implies that the admission for Spring versus Fall isnāt random. It also doesnāt seem that Spring admits are āsecond choiceā for the school ā the admitted students website has a Spring admission page which says, āStudents who have been admitted for the spring typically have demonstrated independence, initiative, motivation, and passion. These women may have studied abroad, committed themselves to a research project, participated in an internship, or pursued a lifelong artistic or athletic goal. They have often juggled a rigorous course load with long hours of practice or research during their high school careers.ā</p>
<p>I got accepted! I hope I can get some sort of aid, or my chances of going are slimā¦</p>
<p>Your aid should be available on lineā¦right below the admission letter.</p>
