<p>Hi Joseph. If you go back to late December and the Class of 2015 thread, you can see several stats for EA acceptances, but I think the merit award discussion is in a different thread.</p>
<p>I got 14,600$ renewable merit scholarship from WPI. My stats are:</p>
<p>1970 SAT (1390/1600) 640CR 750M 580W
70/100 GPA (4/5 at Turkey, and it is considered a good grade here)
Lots of IB courses (most rigorous curriculum in my school)
Lots of ECs (national and international project competitions, a patent, multiple entrepreneurship experiences)
I also submitted a flex path, including my computer science projects.</p>
<p>what did your online admissions status look like when you were accepted?</p>
<p>That page doesn’t change after the decisions are announced. They email their decision to internationals and they send it via postal mail to the domestic applicants.</p>
<p>oh okay so I guess I’ll have to wait. Did you receive your letter on the date they said you would?</p>
<p>I received it earlier.</p>
<p>I got accepted and was offered a $15,000 merit scholarship</p>
<p>3.9 UW, 2300 SAT (700 CR, 800 M, 800 W), 800 Math IIc, 800 Chem.
Took 3 APs and two college math classes. A’s/5s in all of them.
ECs: lots of math/science competition awards, lots of tutoring.</p>
<p>Good luck to anyone else waiting to hear back!</p>
<p>Just got accepted… no merit scholarship though</p>
<p>3.8 W, 28 ACT
Took 6 APS
Math awards, 4.0gpa award and stuff</p>
<p>Just got accepted- biomedical engineering. have not been notified of scholarships yet.</p>
<p>I just received my acceptance packet an hour ago, with a $15,000/year scholarship offer. </p>
<p>4.0UW/4.0W, 2290 SAT (750CR, 770M, 770W)
SAT 2: Math II 800, Physics 770</p>
<p>Finally got my letter yesterday. Accepted!
4.2 Weighted
SAT 2220; 770/770/680W
Some extracurriculars
Also received a $15500 per year merit scholarship.
Good luck to those still waiting!</p>
<p>so the merit scholarship offer came with the acceptance letter? that’s kind of disappointing. I didn’t get one.</p>
<p>Hold your disappointment. I received my merit scholarship letter one week after my acceptance.</p>
<p>oh okay. that’s relieving. thanks.</p>
<p>Congrats on the merit… still seems too tough to swing, even with a 15k or 20k scholarship… my need based is all loans…</p>
<p>Accepted with a 24.500 merit scholarship, also applied for financial aid. Just wondering, is 25k the maximum amount of merit-based aid they give?</p>
<p>congratz to all the others!</p>
<p>My friend received 28K merit scholarship last year. I guess they are a little bit more strict on scholarships this year.</p>
<p>Maximum merit is value of tuition. Foisie is a full tuition scholarship I believe. But $25k is certainly good, the maximum for normal WPI merit awards (Presidential, Chem/Biochem, Marshall/Chavez/Means minority awards). I recieved $20k 2 years ago. Additional need-based scholarships may also be given in addition to any merit. Talk to the FA department if you feel your package is unreasonable.</p>
<p>I just got a letter from WPI for the WPI University Award
Basically I got 5k/year but no merit scholarship
3.8 W, 28 ACT
