<p>or alternately, did they offer the scholarship to more than 100 people, taking yield into account?</p>
<p>How are EA applicants informed of scholarship winner? by mail or they have already put scholarship letter on your account for EAs too?</p>
<p>Chicago only offers the scholarships to those 100/30 people. They assume for budgeting that only some will accept and do not reallocate to others. This is not unusual; the flagship that offered my son a very nice merit deal does the same thing.</p>
<p>Other schools DO re-offer the merit. I recall a CCer last year who went on the merit search last year and came up HUGE; and someone declined the scholarship at his top choice, and he was awarded it. This is a good question to ask wherever merit awards might be a consideration.</p>
<p>EA students who are offered scholarships will receive an additional packet in the mail, similar to the acceptance letter for admitted students, that contains the scholarship offer. Unfortunately, you are not notified if you do not get a scholarship, so there is no “sorry” letter- you will only get a mailing if you have received a scholarship. The information for RD students is included with the offer of admission, not in a separate packet.</p>
<p>I didn’t get a scholarship but I got really good aid from U of C…better than Middlebury, Colby and Brandeis…which really wasn’t expected! They gave me 42k.</p>
<p>Does anybody know what UChicago’s national merit finalist policy is?</p>
<p>The NMF policy is on their website. It differs if it’s corporate or from Chicago and if you have need on how much and how disbursed.</p>
<p>i didn’t get a scholarship either, but i also got phenomenal aid - $51,000. the only school that beat them was pomona, but not by much, and chicago>>pomona.</p>
<p>Wow I didn’t know only 30 people got full scholarships…
I have a friend who got a full scholarship!!!</p>
