<p>cornell may not offer u FA… but u have big chance on other 4</p>
<p>This is a joke, right? $54,000 scholarship? For what?</p>
<p>Uhh, well. It’s not exactly a 55k scholarship.
It’s actually 42k. It’s just that there are federal grants which bumped up my total award to 55k.
And honestly, I do not know why I got it. I’m just thankful that I did get it.</p>
<p>wait…so you got all these offers with a 3.9?
what are your ec’s? there’s no way i can chance you unless you don’t say.
but you must’ve cured cancer to get that much money…</p>
<p>Why does everyone look surprised?
Aren’t colleges giving more financial aid than merit aid lately?</p>
<p>@ dannav147: Wesleyan only gives out need-based aid (except for 22 international students in the Freeman Asian Scholars program). Therefore, the $42,000 is a result of financial aid calculations, not based on merit. Not sure what Syracuse’s aid policies are, though…</p>
<p>agreed with InRisingMist… 2 of out 3 of Colgate, Villanova, Brandeis… Vassar is selective as Wesleyan, so maybe, and Cornell is slightly more selective than Wesleyan, so a bigger maybe. likely 3 out of the 5, maybe 4.</p>
<p>So I got accepted to Villanova today.
Financial awards yet to come.</p>
<p>So anyone else want to chance me?
Oh by the way, my brother goes to Colgate. Will that help?</p>
