<p>Do all these schools superscore? Some schools don’t.</p>

<p>What is your EFC? </p>

<p>Which school is your financial safety?</p>

3

<p>Based on the schools you were waitlisted at, I wouldn’t bank on Wake. Did you submit your scores there? They don’t require them.</p>

<p>UPDATE: I got into GW!
And, my bad, I used the format of someone else’s post to fill in my credentials, but the SATs weren’t a superscore, just a single sitting.</p>

<p>Not sure about EFC but I’m sure I’ll be paying off loans wherever I go</p>

<p>I guess backup college is UVM because it’s a decent school and I got a pretty good scholarship. I haven’t gotten grant/financial aid info from GW yet because it’s in the mail</p>

<p>I qualified for a Pell grant and I’m applying for scholarships. Any scholarship suggestions?</p>

<p>Oh and for Wake I was told not to submit regular SATs because optional, but I did send my SAT II scores in Math I and Literature</p>

<p>I was told by Wake Admissions today that acceptance letters were mailed on Wednesday. Anyone heard yet?</p>
