Thank you, I agree. I do think boys have a bit of an advantage, all things being equal. And some of it seems so random. Good luck to your son!

Son was accepted. IS, 4.3w GPA, honors and 7 APs, 1400 SAT, Eagle Scout. They said scholarship info would not be available until mid-February, which seems odd. Other schools have included it.

Does anyone know about merit scholarships?
My son’s acceptance said we would hear more in mid-February. He’s hearing the same thing from others at his high school.
Just an FYI - my S19 got his madison scholarship offer the last week in March. It came as an email from the department head.
Congrats to all newly accepted students!

I guess I should have read the letter 
One more question, there doesn’t appear to be any mention of his major and admission into his major, does that come separately?
D accepted. OOS. 3.6 uGPA with some Honors. Good ECs including good leadership. 1180 SAT, 24 ACT

Thanks! I need to stop reading this thread. Seeing these stats of accepted students, who are know are great students, but it just doesn’t make sense why she was deferred. She is a super well-rounded kid, great athlete, other service-related and leadership ECs, and strong academic stats. She would literally among the top of stats for kids accepted. Also, I went to JMU! So frustrating. Good luck to all!

I’ll look at it when he gets home, this was all conveyed to me via text while he was at school… he’s not so great with the detail over text… lol
We have had a similar experience at some other schools with deferrals for my son. No rhyme or reason, higher GPA and scores than those admitted from his school during this same round. Maybe have her reach out to admission rep? It is frustrating though. Good luck.
