has anyone heard back about any scholarships?
do you have to fill out the fafsa to be eligible for merit based scholarships?
@delicateswift for the trustee scholarship, no, but for the rest of them i believe that you do.
@mymyatwaterloo Decisions on scholarships have historically been released with admission decisions in March. This is assuming RD and submitting an application by December 1 deadline. Trustees says all decisions are in March (even ED). Not sure if they released Presidential with FA awards for ED.
The Trustee scholarship goes to the top 1-2% of applicants so do not count on that too much.
There are 20 Trustee scholars a year - it’s very competitive. I thought Presidential was about 3%, but I don’t see statistic on the website currently.
My son got trustee scholarship and awaiting IVy decisions we are middle class family with another child at NU my son is bright and I am expecting him to be acceptable at IVY
Can someone suggest if he gets in IVy should we pull the trigger or not worth it
Yes my son got it day back yesterday you can inbox me at my userhandle at hotmail
@Hkdahima Would you receive need based aid at the Ivy and are you prepared to be full pay otherwise?
Most bright applicants to the Ivies are rejected.
My student received Presidential and Kilachand Honors College: 35 ACT (one sitting and 36 ACT composite), 4.67 GPA, National Merit Finalist. For context, she was accepted at two flagship state university Honors colleges at schools rated better than BU. Accepted at two top-ten schools plus waitlisted at one top Ivy and rejected at a second Ivy that is rated about the same as the two schools she got accepted at.
I’m still waiting on ivy day as well, but if any other Trustee scholars wanna link up my instagram is @isaackillilea :))
