<p>Just received my letter today. 16,000 / year</p>

42

<p>wow congrats!</p>

43

<p>Did you people get your merit information along with your acceptances? Because I didn't get anything regarding financial aid and I'm a tad worried.</p>

44

<p>My acceptance package was just that: an acceptance package. The merit scholarship letter came today (2 days later) and still no word on financial aid.</p>

45

<p>All right, thanks Alex!</p>

46

<p>i got offered 10,100 a year</p>

<p>but in the letter, it didnt say anything about honors college although i think i def. qualify for it!</p>

47

<p>You could always call and ask why you weren't admitted to the honors program.</p>

48

<p>Ugh. This is annoying me. I'm listed as an international address [I'm from NY but studying abroad for my senior year] and so I got my acceptance by email, but have heard NOTHING from financial aid or merit stuff because mail takes foreverrrrr to get to France!</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the merit and financial aid packages will be posted on myNeu?</p>

49

<p>I just got 16 K per year and I have no idea why...</p>

<p>3.1 GPA, ~45% CR, 720/670/620 M/V/W SAT and 740 IIC, 650 Physics, and 590 USH.</p>

<p>Regardless, woohoo!</p>

50

<p>I got $16,000 per year also and I wasn't put into the honors program.. It would be nice to be in it but oh well..</p>

51

<p>Wow congrats Jimmy! Don't question why they gave you money, just take it.</p>

52

<p>kk,
Have you considered appealing the school's decision not to put you in the honor program?</p>

53

<p>Maximus which are the benefits tha honor students get ?????</p>

54

<p>My S got an 11,000/year scholarship. What % of students are offered a merit scholarship?</p>

55

<p>I got 7,500 a year.</p>

56

<p>You have to be in the top 25% to be considered, but as for the actual percentage that gets it, I don't think they publish that anywhere.</p>

57

<p>Wow, really. Do they go by the numbers only, or are ecs and leadership skills included when accessing the "top 25%"?</p>

58

<p>Actually, yes I just read on their website that the top 25% are considered for scholarships. I learned on USNews that 19% of freshmen receive merit scholarships (average is just over 13,300).</p>

59

<p>Anyone have advice as to how I can show that I'm serious about the school? I really hate talking on the phone, so I'd prefer to avoid that route.</p>

60

<p>That top 25% stuff is absolutely off. I'm slightly above 45% (meaning worse than 45%) and I got 16 K per year...</p>
