<p>I got no grants 
(is this a sign from other schools that I applied to that I won’t get any need-based grants?). However, got 23k leadership scholarship and 5.5k in loans (yuck). However, as of now, RPI has given me the most money.</p>
<p>my son was waitlisted</p>
<p>Where did you see scholarship award information…was it on same screen as acceptance and music playing?</p>
<p>My Daughter was accepted! 13,300 scholarship and 9,600 grant!<br>
Congrats to those accepted…</p>
<p>Thanks CPUscientist. I’m only a junior (not even going to graduate before leaving high school due to a couple of dumb requirements like gym) so that makes perfect sense. Do you how often they turn people down later, though?</p>
<p>what were you s and test scores?</p>
<p>sorry mean’t grades and test scores</p>
<p>that’s cool that you applied as a junior! i wish i would have known about that=/</p>
<p>it depends on how well you perform…do you know into what term you would be accepted into if you met the requirements (fall 2011, fall 2012?)</p>
<p>My Aid PER YEAR:
Leadership Award- $12600
Grant- $12200
Perkins Loan- $1900
Sub. Loan- $3500
Unsub. Loan- $2000
Work-Study- $2000</p>
<p>I have no idea if I should be happy or sad. They said my expected family cost is $23036. Anyone with similar results?</p>
<p>SAT 2370, #1 (so far) in class of about 130, 103 GPA. I actually talked to the head of admissions who said that rpi didn’t admit people without a diploma, but I explicitly said in my app that I wouldn’t graduate this year…yet they admitted me for fall of 2011…weird.</p>
<p>lucky!
and you should get that checked out…</p>
<p>i’m 6/269 and my SAT score isn’t close to yours lol but i will retake in sept. GPA 3.97</p>
<p>again congrats to all of the acceptees–Vloria, hope everything works out!</p>
<p>Yeah I got a similar aid package. No grants though.</p>
<p>guys, where do i check ?</p>
<p>I don’t want it checked out I want to get out of high school and into rpi! lol.</p>
<p>Ok I am glad I am not alone. I have to find out how I could get $23000 by this fall because I have a feeling that my package is going to be pretty similar at each private school I applied to.</p>
<p>kiln–i agree</p>
<p>vloria–not necessarily true :)</p>
<p>What was your EFC Vloria (if I may ask of course)? My EFC was 22k (and to think about it now, I have to pay roughly 26K a year).</p>
<p>I got conditionally accepted. :\ I guess acceptance is acceptance so I should be happy and I know I’m doing better this semester than last semester, but it still feels strange that Rensselaer could send a rejection after already sending an “acceptance”.</p>
<p>Financial aid per SEMESTER:
Rensselaer Leadership Award: $12,450
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan: $1,750
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: $1,000
Federal College Work-Study: $1,000
Total YEARLY cost: $24,836</p>
<p>That’s almost 1/4 of my parents’ income so I highly doubt my parents will want me attending a school they can barely pronounce all the way in NY when I’m in CA. I was really hoping I could recieve more aid. :\ So many mixed emotions about this acceptance. Congrats to all that have been accepted!!</p>
<p>@CPUscientist3000 I hope so!
@speechlessdogs My EFC is $23190 which is higher than what they say I have left to pay which is pretty good.</p>
<p>The Waitlist form has two choices that you have to pick from when accepting the waitlist offer : Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 ??? How can this be ? Should I pick Fall 2010 since it is the Fall 2011 semester I want to enroll or will this mess up my waitlist spot… Should I wait until Monday to contact Admissions before accepting or is it best to accept waitlist spot asap…???</p>
