<p>eagles14000 - I’m paying myself as well. Any way you could get some outside scholarships? That’s what I did. They really do add up.</p>
<p>I have some local ones but they are only a couple hundred bucks but ill look into it for sure! Btw goodluck with Brown im waiting on them and Vassar</p>
<p>Thanks, eagles, to you too! (:</p>
<p>My son got in. His basic stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 95/100 (our school doesn’t use a 4.0 scale and it also doesn’t weight)
SATI: 1440/1600, 2240/2400 - sent
SATII: 800 US History, 720 English Lit - sent
ACT: 31 - did not send
ECs include: cello, Boy Scouts, part-time job and a couple of academic clubs. He is also a member of a couple of honor societies (e.g. Tri-M, French Honor Society, NHS)
I assume his recs were all good - he waived the right to read them.
He’s a strong writer so I believe his personal essays were well done.</p>
<p>He will probably double-major in History and English. He was accepted into the Scholar program and like others have mentioned, Union was very generous with aid.</p>
<p>This whole process has been a rollercoaster ride and I’m thankful that it is coming to an end. Now we’re just waiting on Williams (it will be a miracle if he gets in there!). He was also accepted at Providence, SUNY Geneseo, Hillsdale, John Carroll University and St. Bonaventure. I have to say that the private schools have been very generous with aid.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all those who got in and good luck to those waiting to hear from other schools. As I tell my son, it will all work out the way it is supposed to.</p>
<p>S also accepted with a nice scholarship. Finally done hearing from all - now comes the hard part of trying to decide. We’ll have to spend a few bucks traveling to accepted student days now. Any one going to the Union 4/15 day?</p>
<p>Momofreds - I have a S who is a sophomore in the honors program - English major at Providence. PM me if you need any insight/info there.</p>
<p>MEsearch. My son will be doing the overnight stay on the 14th and then the Open House on the 15th. I think the overnight will really give him a sense of what Union is like and make his decision easier. Union is top choice at this point.</p>
<p>Accepted. International student.</p>
<p>MACLASS2013 - We’ll see you there! Making a long weekend of it with Union and then RPI on Monday.</p>
<p>What a wonderful outcome for your son, BTMell! Hope he continues to overcome all of life’s obstacles while at Union. Thanks for sharing.</p>
<p>Accepted as a transfer!!! This is unreal!</p>
<p>Congratulations gregmac!!! I’ve also applied as a transfer but for the fall term. Could you check my thread and see if I stand any chances? Thank you and congratulations again!!!</p>
<p>I’ve just checked my application status and was surprised to have my decision already posted! I was rejected! I was kinda’ expecting that because of my EFC of 0. Good luck to those still waiting for a decision!</p>
<p>I’ve also applied to Trinity College (CT). Do you guys think I should keep my hopes up or it is the end of the line for me? Thanks!</p>
<p>anyone, please?</p>
