Has anyone heard when Merit Weekend 2015 will be for U Ky? While I realize it is a moot point until D hears for sure if she is admitted, it would be nice to have dates penciled in on the calendar.
I haven’t heard. In fact, I didn’t know there was any such animal. My daughter’s been accepted into the honors program and is PUMPED to be a Wildcat! She’d probably be very interested in attending, if it’s after swimming season.
There will be 3 Merit Weekends this year, all in March. They will fall on 6-7 Mar, 20-21 Mar, and 27-28 Mar. I had originally hoped that the events would fall on Sat-Sun of those weekends to make it easier on parents (particularly those of us from OOS) to attend, but they’re all scheduled for Fri-Sat so we’ll have to try and make arrangements as best we can.
Invitations should start arriving possibly this week. When I spoke with Admissions at the end of last week, they were supposedly “stuffing envelopes” at that time. Invitations are through the individual colleges and each college has it’s own criteria, but they’re primarily based on GPA and test scores.
@Woverine86 Thank you very much for this information! It is greatly appreciated! I am the keeper of the family calendar and am trying to figure things out so this will help immensely!!!
My D got an invitation to Merit Weekend in the mail today!
I’m really confused… Does anyone know when we’ll get scholarship notifications?
@CoMoMom Me too!
@MitchIsTheMan97 as an OOS student, I have already received an automatic merit scholarship. However, my mom calls the admissions office yesterday to find that all applicants for the competitive scholarships will be notified by April 1!!!
My D still has not heard anything re automatic scholarship!
Update: This was posted on another thread, but we found out the decisions for competitive scholarships should be out later this month.
