OOS DD just received CoScience Dean’s Scholarship email yesterday. Completely unexpected. This award is not on the website. (At least we couldn’t find it.) The CoS Dean’s Grant is on the website but, she did not receive a grant. She is guaranteed in-state tuition for 4 years and it is not dependent on any other awards she would receive, except GT two big scholarships. The ‘Grant’ on the website that was offered in the past states the final financial award is dependent on ANY additional award received. The email was sent to DD, mom, and dad which is greatly appreciated, as Chapel Hill sends the parents nothing! Don’t get me started. DD is still legally a minor and has no means to pay for any of this upcoming adventure! Received UNC admission through EA last week. DD is IS for UNC. Big decisions with the GT in-state honor! Super exciting week! Again, we thought all awards had been given out and there was nothing left.
Did anybody got mail from gatech saying that your decision will be available on 10th march?
@Dhg712 Yes, I did.
Congrats @momto4nc
Your description of the CoScience Dean’s Scholarship sounds like the Provost Scholarship. I wonder if there is a difference between the two (my son was offered the Provost).
As per GATECH email, RD decision precisely 6 weeks from today, March 10th Saturday.
Does anyone know when the need-based financial aid packages come out for EA admitted students?
My OOS son received CoScience Dean’s Scholarship email too! We are thrilled about this scholarship, in state tuition for 8 semester in five years. It had been a very stressful months for my student sending all the applications and getting resoults from few other colleges. I have experience onece before with my older child, but entrance to elite colleges are much more than test scores and GPA, or extra activities. They often say they look for students that “fit” to their Insutitution.
Continue from previous comment.
I thin the colleges wants their student profile to look more balanced. There are so many high school seniors with outstanding resumes. I told my son that just becouse he gets deferred from colleges he applied does not mean that he has less abilities than those who were accepted. I would like to tell students who are reading this the same. Don’t let “deferred” resoult bring down your spirit. Think and do things that you are passionate and have control over, but don’t worry about things that you have no control over.
Is anyone waiting for Georgia Tech’s regular decision?
@Palaksh all RD applicants are waiting as decisions are coming on 3/10. Students with a complete application as of February 1, 2018 will receive a decision this Saturday, March 10, 2018 at noon ET, via their admission portal.
