Are there estimated financial aid notifications included with today’s decisions? I feel like I saw that somewhere.

265

I know that most merit will be available today (all except presidential I think), and I think it’s reasonable to believe that need-based aid will also be available.

Stats for summer are generally lower than fall

267

When they admit for summer:

  1. The student’s “stats” don’t affect the fall numbers, which are what rankings are based on.
  2. It’s a revenue stream. Penn State charges something like $7,000 for their summer program (includes room and board). FSU will charge less but it’s still extra $$.

@beckfast
Scroll up a bit, someone posted a .pdf chart from last year with the stat breakdown. Very informative!

I didn’t see anything about summer term on there… Maybe those stats are averaged fall and summer? Or maybe I’m looking at the wrong PDF?

So if I have a 3.8, 29, good ECs, a strong upward trend on my transcript, and a good essay I should be good for summer? Trying to expect the worst (rejection) so I’m not disappointed, but my mind is all over the place!

I’m OOS too, but Benacquisto still applies to OOS students.

Oh my bad I thought it was FL only. I still am not sure how it works though, sorry!

Latest portal update for those keeping track: the decision date box has returned, still indicating that decisions will be released in the “late afternoon.”

College rankings mostly use fall admit stats. Summer and other non-fall admission programs usually have slightly lower stats. See Northeastern NUIn program for example. Students admitted into that program start in the fall, but at a study-abroad campus-not the main campus.
