<p>Anybody know anything about how "plentiful" merit scholarship money might be at WPI? </p>
<p>Do they have any? </p>
<p>Are many kids offered it? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>My ex received a large merit scholarship to WPI (Around $12500/yr, i think). Not only did he receive the offer after he was accepted, it arrived after he committed to attending WPI. However, his situation was different than most- he applied and was admitted far after the deadline, after being accepted at none of his schools RD. He had a 1430 and 3.2UW.</p>
<p>I applied early action round 1 to WPI. What kind of merit scholarship can I expect?</p>
<p>Also, would it be possible to get a bachelors and 2 masters degrees (an MBA and a Masters in Engineering) in 5-6 years with all the AP credit?</p>
