Was anyone else invited to the AU Scholars program? I was, when I was actually really interested in the University College program… in fact, wanting to be in that program is one of the main reasons I didn’t apply for Honors… oops). But is anyone else doing AU Scholars?

Nothing in mail today in MA! Crazy!
It’s starting to look like acceptances and rejections were mailed in waves rather than altogether.
My D was admitted into AU Scholar with Dean’s Scholarship of $10K and loans of $9K. That is way below other offerings. It will be a real stretch for us to make up the difference.
D got acceptance package today in the mail in Georgia. The post-mark was 3/23. She got $15K Dean Scholarship and $5K in loans. We have same similar financial considerations as @TechGal13.
Just thought I’d tell everyone that I was able to log on the portal, see my name under housing, and see scholarship information (deans scholarship, financia aid, loans, etc) and I was waitlisted. THE PORTAL TRICK DOES NOT WORK!
I 100% don’t understand how I got accepted into American University. These were my stats:
Did not send any test scores.
Did not send or do any optional essays.
Did not show any interest during my interview and my mom accidentally told the lady that my top choices were NYU and Fordham.
My only strengths were that I speak 3 languages, my common app essay was really well written, am the head of public relations for a fashion company, am 100% Italian and have an immigrant mother from Venice.
I am in NHS, SADD, Environmental club, and have taken a total of 11 AP classes and 2 college classes. NOT A STRAIGHT A STUDENT (I mainly get B’s) and had a 3.6 UW and 4.5 W
I seriously don’t get it though because I thought I would get rejected for sure from the lack of work I put into my application. On my acceptance letter they told me that “my knowledge of languages is fantastic” so I don’t know, maybe that’s why.
nothing in MA yet!! can someone who has been accepted tell us if the portal looks any different?
Waitlisted
4.0 W GPA
33 ACT
Kinda was expecting it though, but its all good because I was accepted to Johns Hopkins
Accepted this week 3/24, mailed 3/22. Also offered spot in University College. Living outside of Philadelphia. Applied test optional to SIS-undeclared.
My son a few weeks ago saw same thing! Letter came in the mail and wait listed?? Totally confused
Accepted in Florida (envelope came today) under the exact terms shown in my portal before it was shut down. Got no grants, just loans. Accepted at other schools so it will come down to the best FA package.
Waitlisted
3.8 W GPA
Not a straight A student but I’ve taken many AP classes (Euro, US History, English, Environmental, Gov, Micro).
