<p>or will they come after you fill out the fafsa? j/w because I got into minnesota in the middle of november and havent heard anything, but two other schools I got into in december already told be about merit aid..</p>
<p>I am under the impression that they will not be mailed until March.</p>
<p>i just got a letter saying i received their "presidential scholarship" but that's it so far</p>

Banker got a full ride at Carlson after a month in that thread...I got my acceptance the end of November, so I'm hoping I'll get some merit money soon</p>
<p>It's the day after Christmas.
A thick, heavy manila envelope from UMN is in the mailbox.
Maybe a scholarship to College of Liberal Arts?
NO!
What the ......?
It's a MAGNETIC POETRY KIT. You know, those things where the magnets have words on them and you stick them on the refrigerator to make sentences.<br>
The enclosed letter says its UMN's way of reminding me that a "CLA education is an education that sticks".</p>
<p>Here's mine. Actual magnet words.</p>
<p>Question
What is big idea
I want gold
And pizza</p>
<p>Damn, I am accepted into the institute of technology... I better transfer to CLA so my education will stick better.</p>
<p>Sure, give up your tech career and do liberal arts so you can create magnetic masterpieces like:</p>
<p>mac & cheese/with/Gophers/is/tasty</p>
<p>or</p>

<p>I got the magnets, too =) Made me happy, haha. Oh, and basically what amounts to a full scholarship =)</p>
<p>Does anyone know when you find out if you recieve any merit scholarships? I was accepted to Carlson in December but havent recieved so much as a whisper concerning any merit money,</p>
<p>The magnets are a cute touch.
No magents for me, I'm an accepted CBS student.</p>
<p>I was also wondering about scholarships. I know a few people who already know they have a full-ride scholarship, but so far, I know nothing.</p>
<p>I was accepted in November.</p>
<p>Yeah I still know nothing as well..I was accepted into Carlson Honors November 20ish</p>
<p>I was getting worried for the last couple weeks, but since nobody else has heard I'm feeling a little bit better</p>
<p>Nick..astar..what are your stats if you don't mind me asking? I'm rather curious.</p>
<p>4.0 unweighted, #1, 30 ACT, Probably average ECs (mainly sports), and in a reciprocity state</p>
<p>you cant get any better than that...you'll probably get some money</p>
<p>Hm..still no mention of honors or scholarships for IT. 4.0 is nice, but the 30 on the ACT is probably going to hurt you a little; just don't expect a full ride..</p>
<p>Notsomuch, I got a full ride with only a 31 on the ACT. </p>
<p>Frankly I'm not sure why, but it can be done. Haha.</p>
<p>when were you notified that you got a full ride?</p>
<p>And I got put on a waitlist with a 32 on the ACT. :-)</p>
<p>Are you in state? What college were you accepted into?</p>
<p>As I noted in the other thread, some applicants have definitely heard about scholarships by now. I think some of those notifications already happened a few weeks ago. More should be coming in the next month or so.</p>
