There’s no link for financial information on my page
@ImStressedOut same lol I really need financial aid so this is upsetting
I got in for CS
@ImStressedOut same for me. Absolutely nothing about financial aid.
@ImStressedOut I’m a medalist too and I got accepted but there wasn’t anything on my page either.
Accepted with $21,500 leadership scholarship and a $14,500 grant
SAT: 2280 (Reading 750/Writing 760/Math 770)
ACT: 34
SAT II Subject Tests: Math II (760), Physics (740), US History (750)
Classes: I am taking 5 APs this year and have taken 7 total in previous years.
ECs: Most significant thing was I was captain of two varsity sports
Even with the money, it is still expensive for me. Still will have to take out a good amount of loans if I can’t appeal. I’m going to assume the leadership scholarship and grant is renewable for 8 semesters, right?
Accepted! I’m a medalist and there was no financial info on my page either, so I emailed admissions. I want to know!!!

My DD’s page has a link for Financial Aid Letter at the bottom of the acceptance page. She is a medalist and it confirms $25,000 in merit aid.
Her stats:
SAT I - 2220 (one sitting) 740/740/740
SAT IIs - Bio 770, English 770, Math 2 730
School doesn’t do GPA or class rank but B+/A-/A range
Doesn’t offer many APs but she took AP Bio and is taking AP Stats and took additional tests anyway
AP tests - Bio 5, American History 4, English Lit 4, Music Theory 3
Lot of music (chorus, a cappella, violin)
Gay-Straight alliance (co-head)
softball
science summer programs and internships
Major is Biomedical Engineering
Just got accepted. Even though I probably won’t go here due to the price, it’s still very exiting!
SAT: 2000
GPA: 3.3
APs: US History 4
I have a few questions though?
Where does it say what major I was accepted as? It mentions nothing about it on the acceptance page. I applied for Aeronautical Engineering so does that mean I got in for that?
Also, where do I view all of the financial aid stuff?
Thanks and Congrats!
DS accepted!

@Frontiergame, at the bottom of my son’s decision letter page, it shows:
“The following letters are available for this account:
Decision Letter - March 12, 2016 (displayed)
Financial Aid Letter - March 12, 2016”
He clicked on the Financial Aid Letter link to find the scholarship info. It shows the scholarship split between Fall 2016 and Spring 2017. I understand that the Leadership scholarship is renewable for up to 6 more semesters, but not sure if this is automatic - we would appreciate input if anyone knows.
edit: His decision letter has no mention of major either, but I expect that he was accepted with his applied to major of Mechanical Engineering.
Loved the email (DS got in!) but it doesn’t say anything about acceptance to the program he applied for. And I don’t understand why every letter doesn’t contain financial aid information. Does this mean there is none coming? None in the range of the very nice merit awards that many are listing? Letter doesn’t say when/how financial aid information will be forthcoming for the balance who did NOT receive it on their acceptance notices on the portal.
Thanks.
