General Comments: I wasn’t sure I was going to get into the SOM having been told how competitive acceptance into the SOM was compared to other schools within Binghamton. Surely am grateful I got in!

My child got accepted in November, also got a letter recently about scholarship and is admitted to the FRI program. It will be out of state - the financial incentive is good (does not qualify for needs based money, only merit).

423

I was accepted mid December and just recently got a letter notifying me that I received a $40,000($10,000 per year) scholarship to Bing

424

@Miriam567 Can you elaborate on your son’s scholarship offer? Many of us on this thread have been curious, especially since Binghamton’s website says that they typically only offer scholarships to those with need and that they wouldn’t go out until March/April. Any info you could provide would be very helpful :slight_smile:

425

@fishgill I also received a Merit scholarship offer just recently, it was certainly not need based as our annual income is around 200k which is well above qualifying for any significant amount

426

It is not needs based - due to income he will not qualify for needs based financial aid.
His ACT is 35, SAT II math 800, GPA I am not sure.

427

I understand that it was merit based, I was just saying on their website they explained it to be needs based–so I was wondering what the letter mentioned. That was all.

428

It mentioned exceptional academic achievements and merit

429

Same here,

34 ACT
800 Math 2
3.5 unweighted gpa
4.7 weighted gpa
National Engineering Competition 3x winner

@Btirumala1219 and @Miriam567 I assume you are both out-of-state (OOS)? To my knowledge, Binghamton only offers merit (non need-based) aid to OOS admits.

431

yea

432

I recently got 12k a year! (based off of merit)

433

does anyone know how hard it is to transfer from harpur to watson? or if i wanted to double major in math and computer science could i do that although they are in different schools

434

@ews413 yep you’re allowed to double major with any two majors no matter what school they are in!

435

OOS deferred ED, haven’t heard anything yet.

436

My son is still waiting too (EA)! They do this every year. My older son was deferred EA and finally accepted mid March.

437

Just accepted in-state SOM…applied January 15 regular decision.

438

Hi. I applied January 18 and haven’t heard anything. Did you receive your acceptance by email or mail?

439

@ggflores Email telling me to check the portal

@trackmbe3 not true, they offer merit scholarships in state as well my family friend got $4,000 and didn’t qualify for any aid to any schools
