lol, 3 posts about 2 schools in 3 months = helicopter parenting… wow. Feel free to continue cluttering up the discussion with insults, I’m moving on.
P.S. Honours, it’s a golfing term… from waaay back, but since you don’t know anything about me, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt for not knowing the context of it in my username…
@ALananhR was there anything new in the packet that wasn’t on the portal last week?
@jumbletumbles not that I found. The packet just said I was accepted, etc and when I checked the portal I found out about the honors program
I still haven’t gotten my decision yet, I applied early action.
I was accepted!! 32 ACT/91 GPA from MA. Congrats to everyone else 
When do we hear back regarding scholarships?
@gearsstudio I see you on every forum I’m on! Haha
My son saw his acceptance on his portal on the 20th. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Received merit letter today - $15,000/yr. We are in TN.
Accepted w/honors! 34 ACT/ 4.37 GPA W, 3.89 UW
I received my acceptance through mail today (21st), but when I checked the portal it said the status had been updated on the 19th.
@FrothyShake when did you hear back about acceptance? Just wondering when I can expect to hear back regarding scholarship $$!
All the best to everyone!
@summertimesr , we got acceptance on the portal on the 19th, so merit letter came very soon.
@FrothyShake Great, thanks for the response!
Accepted, but with no mention of Honors or scholarships. Any chance that it will come later?
@SailorGirl3 Did you check your portal?
From what I have read from other posters from this year as well as previous years, you get the honors notification with your admission decision. Mine was on my portal and did say in the second or third paragraph that I was accepted into the honors program. I don’t know why some are getting letters and some are just getting notified on their portals about this information. I’m still waiting on the merit award part, but it may take longer to get to California. I keep reading that it comes in the mail shortly after the initial admission notification. My GPA is 4.77, 33 ACT, and ranked 1 out of 800. If I don’t get full tuition I probably won’t be attending though.
My son received admission decision & honors notification through the online portal last week. Snail Mail today brought admission big envelope and also a separate FA regular size letter. No mention of honors in snail mail. UASP notification in FA letter. Hope that helps those waiting for answers
Would you mind telling what the merit offer was and what stats he has?
@firstsax - although he was ecstatic with his award & has no problems with me sharing that info, his awards were bundled together in one lump sum figure, without specific info on the breakdown. So I’d really rather not post the award amount yet because I feel it would create confusion. I know it confused us at first! Lol. I will post once we get a final award that specifies how much for what.
As for his basic stats, 35/4.0UW, IS
ETA: to clarify… We honestly have NO IDEA how much merit aid was received. He was in the top tier for scholarships on the grid but that’s anywhere from 1/2 to full tuition. So presented as a lump sum only, we can’t contribute much yet on what stats tend to get what amount of aid.
Accepted on the 19th! ACT 29 (30 superscore), 3.84 UW, 4.0 W. No mention of honors program or scholarships. Looks like honors comes with acceptance, but does anyone know when merit will come? Thanks!
What portal we check? D did everything through commonapp.org but claims to not have a Miami login of any sort? thanks please advise
Did she ever receive an email asking her to confirm her application and create an account? I did it through common app and soon after received the emails.
