<p>S was deferred EA due to two Sr reporting periods that didn't look so good. CR + M 1520, but GPA was borderline. When they saw his Sr grades, I figure they wanted to see how the semester panned out. Pulled out low Bs in Calculus and Physics, and a low A in CS. He looks to have a reasonable chance to be accepted, but wondering whether anyone has insight as to whether a substantial merit award is forthcoming. I'm guessing no. Without 15K+ in merit aid, not sure I can swing it,esp with money coming from other schools.</p>
<p>Well I got in with a 1310, but my first quarter senior grades were excellent so if he can improve by regular decision, he should be good to go.</p>
<p>I got 7000 in merit, so he should get around that maybe a bit more</p>
