Did you just apply now?

3

@mommdc yeah I applied this week, I know it’s really late.

Why?

4

I just think you have pretty good stats and all, might have had a better chance at merit applying earlier.

But for engineering you should be competitive for admission.

5

@mommdc is it too late for merit scholarships?

6

Well, for automatic scholarship review I think you were supposed to apply by Dec 15. But some students have reported receiving a scholarship after that.

One step at a time, acceptance first. Good luck!

7

@mommdc you’re right! I’m kind of hoping I’ll receive a scholarship because I’m OOS.

Your stats are good enough to be admitted, but they aren’t “amazing”; If you would have applied earlier on I would say you’d have a guaranteed admission, but at this point, I do not know how many students have already been admitted. As the admissions go up, selectivity goes up for the last of the positions. I’d say 50/50, but you should feel more confident than not. Best of Luck!

@PAwind98 thanks, yeah I agree I should have applied earlier.
