<p>Has anyone gotten in ED? May I ask what your stats were? Have you heard anything about financial aid/merit awards? My daughter might be interested in applying to UD next fall. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>My D got in ED. GPA 3.65 and a 1980 SAT score (R-670 M-630 W-680).
We think great essay and a variety of balanced activities, but not too many. We didn't get any aid/awards, but that doesn't mean you won't.
I answered what I knew about scholarships in the other thread.
There haven't been many posts here lately and no one else has mentioned getting in ED....Anybody else out there??</p>
<p>Thanks for your response! Congratulations to your D! Should be eligible for some kind of $$ w/scores and gpa, I would think...Competition must be strong for $$........</p>
<p>Does that mean if you apply ED that you won't be offered any merit scholarships with the admission acceptance letter?</p>
<p>I'm not sure about that. The package had a letter saying that every student admitted ED was reviewed for scholarships. If D qualified for one or need based aid it would have been in the admission packet. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed! Obviously if this is a major concern, going ED might not be right for you since it does eliminate your chances of accepting merit from other schools. My D also got into UVM which did offer her a minor scholarship, but UD was her first choice and still considerably cheaper without the merit aid</p>
<p>When my D and I attended the open house for hs jrs in Dec, we went to a financial aid forum. The group of mostly parents were told that if your child didn't get $ or you wanted to pursue the $ issue further - wait until May and contact the financial aid office. Remember, some students who were awarded $ may not attend...so there might be some $ left. It's worth a try...Hope this helps....At the very least, there might be loan $ available...</p>
