<p>As it appears we are about to hear in greater intensity regarding acceptances I thought it might be helpful to current (and future) applicants for students who have been accepted to provide some data to those still waiting. So how about it?</p>

<p>Same as Ecremin, I was greeted on the portal with a “Congratulations Ethan,” but my name is not Ethan; it’s Matt. Odd!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who was accepted! I am very excited!</p>
<p>looked like S got into Del (1310, 3.6) but not to major he wanted, but with amazing financial aid. Then portal changed so that it reverted to “we’re reviewing your decision” I hope it returns! I did not expect that much aid…</p>

<p>3.92 and 1660
no merit aid and very very disapointed</p>
<p>Can not believe my daughter was not granted any financial aid. Hofstra awarded her 60,000 as well as two other schools. She had 6 AP classes and a 3.92 gpa. It will be a very huge struggle to send her there especually with her brother going the following year. Very disapointed as a parent but excited for my daughter.</p>

10k/year Merit</p>
<p>The school is highly ranked in chemical engineering, but most likely will not be attending as the merit award is not enough to sway me from my top choice (Northwestern)</p>
