Thought I would start this thread as students get accepted and scholarship decisions start to roll in!
Good Luck!
Do you know whether they notify by letter or on line?
According to FU Admissions Tweet, announcements for EA posted online 5PM on 2/1, with letter to follow. Right before kickoff of the Super Bowl!
Good luck to all!
I saw a tweet today that students should receive an email today with instructions on how to view their decision.
My daughters were accepted!!!
Congratulations to your daughters Maxie97! both my Ds went to Furman (one will graduate in May) and had a wonderful college experience.
My S was accepted too. Have to wait until March 2nd to find out if it will be affordable.
Good luck to all!
Acceptance for me, too! Waiting for news on aid like a lot of people!
Congratulations to you all, hope the FA packages are favorable.
Scholarships–and I believe FA too–are to be released/announced on or about March 2nd. They had horrible weather down there today, which forced the campus to close, so I do not know whether that will delay announcements.
Very curious on forthcoming scholarship offerings. There was a post a couple years ago indicating the Furman was making a conscious decision to reduce scholarship offerings, as they felt they were “discounting” their tuition too much. I don’t feel that $58K sticker is realistic for most folks, but we shall see.
I actually had a pretty candid, in-person discussion with S’s regional admissions person, and I simply indicated that we have a threshold in terms of cost, and if that is exceeded, Furman would not be possible. He understood our position, but I have no idea if that will make a hill of beans difference in the scholarship offer.
Good luck to all!
I got an invitation today for scholarship weekend March 20, 21. When I checked my Furman status portal there is a window now to RSVP for the scholarship weekend. So, even if your invitation hasn’t arrived the portal should be open. Good luck everyone.
@stl4now Did you get invited back for specific ones?
D got an invitation today in the snail mail. Honored. It lists the Lay, Duke and Townes as we are OOS. Does anyone know what the format is for the scholarship day? Past attendees thoughts would be welcome! Good luck to all.
Hey @ccmama120 I commented to you on the other thread as well! What date is the scholarship day?
Sunday March 22nd there is a reception then Monday March 22 are the interviews.
ACCEPTED! Are there any internationals that are planning to attend furman?
@ateyendo I plan to attend only if their aid is sufficient enough. Let’s hope for the best. I dont know how much more we would have to wait before we finally get to hear something from them :S
@noomore yah, i am on the same boat as u. I heard that furman needs more diverse and international students so they might be able to fund us, but i dont know. I hope u here from them soon!
