That’s awesome. What did your appeal consist of? Did you show documentation of other offers? Any details would be helpful. Thank you!
Yes we gave 3 other offers, senior grades, wrote a nice letter about what she loves about Marist, her strengths & exact $ we needed & how much we appreciated her merit but needed it to be “financially feasible” for her to attend

@WBct2003 but also remember their merit high is 25k so lower than some schools

Thanks for the info. I will keep it in mind when we make an appeal. We still haven’t heard from RD schools–so I hate to make an appeal–they give it to us–and then DS decides on one of the other schools.
My D just got her acceptance email from Ramapo College last night - Presidential Scholarship (full tuition and fees paid for the next four years!! ) We still might send Marist an appeal for more money and see what they say, but even their highest merit award money won’t come close to her Ramapo deal. We will see, but I think D was leaning toward Ramapo more because of its location to home. We will see.

Congrats @Journey83
Question… for anyone who applied EA and to the learning support program (LSP)… my son had an Interview with them nearly two weeks ago and we still haven’t heard about acceptance or deferral. Now it’s assumed if it goes to LSP for interview you’ve been accepted but can’t consider the school without acceptance to LSP. For those who’ve applied, how long after your interview did you hear from the school. Strange we still haven’t officially heard. Thanks!!
My daughter just got envelope yesterday. She interviewed in early January.
Ok so we could have another week or two. He interviewed the 20th. Thank you!
I didn’t see this in the thread so I had to ask - the Marist website says that all RD applications are due by March 1st with the decision from the school by “mid-March”. Do they mail out all RD notices at the same time or is it a rolling notification as they review applications? Thanks.
Has anyone else applied to the Florence Freshman Experience?
@goalkeeper23 - Can I ask what you mean when you say you have to deposit by the 15th? Even if you were accepted EA don’t you have until May 1st to decide and deposit? Sorry just stressing me out that I’m missing something.
I think that is the ED date for de[posit

Hi! No need to stress out. I was accepted ED and that is the deadline to make a deposit, so I was just worried as they had not gotten back to me about my appeal but it turns out they never got it.
Update a few minutes later: They gave me more money and now I’m committing!!! So excited to be a red fox!!!

Yup. We are still waiting. Son was interviewed Jan 20th. Three weeks ago. Seems like we should have heard already. Who knows:)
That’s for Learning Support Program
I just read through reviews of Marist on Niche. The negative ones are horrible. If there are any current or former students/parents of on this thread, can you please comment on them? And of course every school has negative reviews, but other schools we’re looking at have a smaller percentage of neg reviews to positive–by far.
In what ways? I have only heard positives from students & parents.
Alcohol. Nothing to do on campus. Many profs just given their contract day before school started. Cliquey. Profs who were terrible in remote classes. etc etc
