Did not fill fafsa
Did not send SSA
Got merit scholarship email.
OOS son got $6k per year, 3.9 UW GPA, no test. I would assume some sort of formula and maybe state residency plays a role, who knows. We are PNW.
My childās stats are similar. We did not fill out FAFSA either. OOS. Kelley DA. We did get a merit email. Call and inquire. You have nothing to lose.
Same here; did not fill out FAFSA and still got small merit. We did fill in SSA apps.
D just auditioned for IU Jacobs School of Music for Ballet. Anyone else? When will decisions be released? In-state, sibling attendsā¦

My son is a Luddy direct admit, OOS, and he received Deans merit aid ($8,000/year).

S23 auditioned in January. It took a few days for Jacobs to figure out that he had been admitted to IU itself, but once they did, he was admitted, about 10 days after the audition. The ballet department wonāt admit someone until IU has admitted them. We were told that admissions can come any time up until April 1.

Do you happen to know how many auditioned this weekend? Iām just curious. There were 61 in January. It was about 90% women.
Yes, Provostās scholarship. Still waiting to hear about anything from Luddy from filling out the SSA. Since the SSA wasnāt due until Feb. 1, I figure itāll be a bit longer.

We had a Q&A session with a couple of current freshmen. That question was asked. One of them put their housing application in May and got a single, no problem.
Housing applications received from February 1 to May 1 are all the same priority.
Only exception would be honors college students.

Oh I totally feel you! Itās nearly impossible to get my son to do anything else at this point. Heās completely burned out. And Iām still trying to squeeze a couple more campus visits before decisions come out. Meanwhile, one of his school emailed him requesting an interview and he doesnāt want to do it. What am I supposed to do?! Schools have scholarships open for a little longer only and he hasnāt done some of them.
Anyway, I was curious if your kiddo had done the SSA bc my son has slightly lower stats than yours (and was only commended scholar) and got a similar amount. So I wondered if he should be expecting more from the SSA.
Edit to say that he got a lower amount, $4000, but similar. But was wondering if you were expecting more from SSA or if you thought was it. Iām seeing amounts all over the place.
I get the IU essay thing. They are bonkers.
But an interview. Itās a conversation.
Learn 6 or 8 things about the school. Map out 3 or things about yourself using STAR - look it up.
Itās 30 minutes. Itās easy. No excuse to miss that.
