Just got an acceptance E-Mail today. Earlier than I expected, but I’m pretty highly qualified for DePaul so I guess they reviewed the applications with the higher test scores first. Waiting on a letter with info about merit scholarships.
DS applied EA and was accepted in Early dec. Merit scholarship was included in with the acceptance packet. Merit scholly requires min GPA of 3.3 which seems high to me.
My dd applied in early December and was accepted 3 weeks later. Her stats were well above DePaul’s standard - no merit aid offer at all. That has decided DePaul’s fate.
So, I asked my daughter to look through her stack of college letters. There was this weird situation with DePaul where they continued to nag her for items, as though she hadn’t finished her app, after she was already accepted. The reminders continued for a while, and she even received a brochure as though she had not yet applied. I realize items probably crossed in the mail and there was a clerical error on the brochure. Anyway, she had stopped looking at DePaul’s mailings, but when I asked her to review her stack, there was the acceptance packet and the generous merit aid letter, which means DP is back in consideration.
