<p>@helloyesplease I think they were notified in the letter last year.</p>
<p>@jrmama496 and @FEMMOM - According to Davidson Admissions’s twitter (dcadmission), “If you met the fin aid deadline, should have an email from fin aid in a few hours with details.”</p>
<p>Received an email at 10:50 with the financial aid information. It seems like it’s a need-based grant. I assume that means he did not get a merit scholarship. Of course, not enough money for us. Looks like Davidson is out as well.</p>
<p>Waitlisted…34 ACT 4.0 GPA, tons of volunteer hours, varsity swimteam 4 years, captain of swimteam senior year, ASB Committee head, Year round swim team, and even more, this is stupid </p>
<p>No, need-based, but apparently they calculated need very differently.
I’m thinking maybe they made a mistake with the travel allowance. It’s 100 dollars, and I have to fly in for 1200 dollars/roundtrip, at twoflights a year that’s very expensive. I wrote them an email. Hopefully they’ll increase my grant award a bit and I’ll do more work study than I have to. I’ll wait and see.</p>
<p>They probably also need a lot of time to send out those 1000 emails. Maybe they started with last names beginning with A, or with 1***** zip codes, or whatever. Don’t worry! </p>
