<p>Just got the mail, I'm in!</p>
<p>It's only choice 2 though. What I'm really waiting for is College Park!</p>
<p>I'm in - yahoo! </p>
<p>TerpHopeful - I'd love CP too - but figure my chances there are slim to none - but I'm still hoping. </p>
<p>So in the world of reality PSU is my best choice - haven't heard from them yet - argh. </p>
<p>But UMBC is a great school - especially if you are interested in the sciences - just wish it wasnt so close to home.</p>
<p>wait.. where do you guys live? i havent got mine yet!!</p>
<p>I'm only a half hour from UMBC - if you're out of state you'll prob get it Monday</p>
<p>hey, does anyone know whether they send out scholarship info. with your acceptance or later on?</p>
<p>I'm guessing later on. I didn't have anything about scholarship with mine. Just stuff about residence really.</p>
<p>OMG it didnt come today either. I just called them and they wouldnt tell me the result!...:( I am loosing my patience here!</p>
<p>I heard scholarship stuff comes out about a week or so after acceptance. They're mailed out ROUGHLY around the same time, coming in different envelopes. The woman I spoke with in the scholarship office, who was extremely nice, told me to expect scholarship stuff sometime around Christmas.</p>
<p>Oooh that's good news!</p>
<p>that's good I am wishing for a good scholarship ahah</p>
<p>Got my scholarship stuff in the mail today:
they're offering me the Presidential Fellow Scholarship: 5k a year (since I'm instate)</p>
<p>I just found out though you cant get multiple merit scholarships from UMBC though, which is frustrating, because I'm applying for a Scholars program, which is part program, part scholarship. </p>
<p>I was hoping they'd end up paying me to go there ;)</p>
<p>Son got his today too. President's Scholar Award $3,500. He wants a full ride too, but it does cut the tuition down alot. They don't give a lot of $$$ at state schools so we are thrilled with any money they throw our way.</p>
<p>I guess I'll get mine tommorow since I do live in MD hahaha hopefully! I get a good scholarship</p>
<p>Woo I got offered $1500 a year. "Dean's Scholar" award. That's exciting.
I'm still waiting for CP though :D</p>
<p>did you have to apply for this scholarship or is it automatically done? cause I haven't received anything yet =(</p>
<p>This should help you. I pulled it from the website.</p>
