Hello and congrats to all who have been accepted!
S was accepted to Dodge EA. We are very pleased!
GPA 3.79 UW/ACT 30
Received Hesperian Merit $40k ($10k year)
Having run the NCC with his stats (UW GPA) it had indicated qualification for Dean’s $72k ($18k year)
Does anyone have any insight into how accurate the NCC is with respect to actual merit awarded?
What am I missing?
I’d like info on this too. Same thing happened to me. NCC said one thing, actual merit offer was less.
You shouldn’t take the calculator so seriously. Those results were the average merit that someone with those test scores and GPA would receive in comparison to the rest of their application. They are weighing it towards the rest of the application, and if they felt someone was weaker in a particular area such as activities or letters but strong in test scores and GPA they can choose to downgrade the overall merit.
@sportingclaymom @skcyking72 how much is a presidential scholarship and how many years?
It depends but it is typically 32,000 dollars per year and worth 128,000 dollars in total. I was awarded the Dean’s scholarship which is at a minimum worth 18,000 dollars but I was lucky enough to be awarded 20,000 dollars per year instead, a 2,000 dollar increase from the minimum award.
@skcyking72 Isn’t the minimum award the Hesperian at 10k a year? Or is the Dean’s scholarship the lowest award?
The Hesperian is the lowest award.
Thanks for your reply. Do you know this to be fact or is this an educated guess?
The disclosure on the NCC makes no mention of ECs/Letters, etc for determining merit.
Only GPA/Tests scores and strength of curriculum.
“scholarships are selectively awarded to students whose academic excellence is reflected in superior
performance on standardized tests, strength of curriculum, as well as consistently receiving only A’s and B’s that
translate to a competitive recalculated Chapman GPA.”
Did anyone get accepted into the dance program at chapman?
As did mine. I don’t think it’s uncommon. My son’s ACT/SAT scores are stellar; gpa a little low.
My son was deferred and must submit mid-year grades. Computer Science gpa 3.7 unweighted SAT 1540 ACT 34
did anyone else who got a 20k deans scholarship have on their total cost thing that came in the mail say it was only 18k?
@gg2019 ill check when mine comes in the mail
Not accepted for screen acting ;/ goodluck to everyone else!!
@ddakdm - Sorry to hear that! Good luck at your other schools!
D applied EA and accepted to BFA Screenwriting:) Dean Scholarship $20K per year.
Congrats @mommaowl ! My son is still waiting after applying EA for TV writing and production.
@mommaowl congratulations to your D! My son is in the exact same boat: applied EA and accepted BFA Screenwriting with the same scholarship. Perhaps they will be classmates!
Yes, I have the same issue! My scholarship was 20k but only 18k in the mailed letter @gg2019
Anyone know the scholarship levels and amounts at Chapman?
