<p>Nothing here…getting antsy because I have no idea how they will go but preparing for the worst.</p>
<p>Heard today the fiirst round will go out this weekend, there was a delay. It might take a couple of weeks for everyone to get them.</p>
<p>That is not a good strategy on their part. The longer it takes, the more likely those waiting on those packets will lean towards other schools. What would cause such a delay? It does not inspire confidence.</p>
<p>I don’t know, but it must have happened this week because last week they told me this past Monday. I found a lot of colleges this year are later than they were with my son 4 years ago, (kept his letters) I don’t know why but it makes it much harder to decide.
My daughters received 3 calls yesterday from Stonehill, Marist and Providence about accepted student days. Only one sent FA yet…I don’t want them attending a “rah, rah” session if we can’t go. That usually stops the schpeel pretty quickly.</p>
<p>The financial aid packet was disappointing for Stonehill. They use the merit scholarship to meet need which to me makes it need based not merit based</p>
<p>But, this is my first time through the process so maybe I am just naive. Stonehill is not off the table for consideration.</p>
