<p>I just got an email from NU saying that I'm a Dean's Scholar...what does that mean? Is it going to cover any financial aspects of my education at NU?</p>
<p>If this is in the engineering school, then it doesn’t mean scholarships. it means that you are a part of a group that has the honor of being advisors to the deans on student issues. You get to have regular lunches with them. The club also funds social events. Its a pretty cool thing - you get to make connections and have fun.</p>
<p>i’m also a dean’s scholar and murphy’s scholar within the mccormick school of engineering…it’s making it incredibly difficult to decide between northwestern and hopkins.</p>
<p>MIT Pwns, i feel your pain, for me it’s between U Chicago and NU</p>
<p>yeah i’m trying to choose between bme at jhu vs murphy/dean’s scholar at northwestern. i’m leaning strongly toward hopkins, what about you?</p>
<p>Yep, I’m debating between NU with Murphy Scholar and Rice with Century Scholar. I’m leaning toward Rice because of finaid and general feel of the school.</p>
<p>Leaning towards U chicago…unless I can get into ISP then idk…prolly still U chicago. I might be able to drop by as i;m at wildcat’s day right now</p>
<p>i just got this too… but i’m not exactly sure what it is? i’m leaning more toward duke and cornell though i think</p>
<p>^^^^
northwestern>>>duke>>>cornell</p>
<p>I think I will attend NU if this is Dean’s Scholarship rather than “Scholar”. :p</p>
<p>This kind of thing doesn’t help practically.</p>
<p>I wonder how many have got this “scholar” email?</p>
<p>@ dawncoming
i got it too
if you have personal attention from the school your attending, the opportunity to meet industrial leaders in person (no joke), and form a very personal relationship with faculty and the dean not to mention being literally gifted a leadership position amongst northwesterners; i dont get how all that doesnt help you practically
perhaps you should question yourself why your going to college?
if you want to fade away studying in a corner at a library or lost in research at a lab in college then yeah - perhaps a dean’s scholar thing and the holistic approach to education with leadership opportunities that nw offers isnt for you</p>
