S23 was admitted to MSU in early Oct with Supply Chain as the major at Broad, but not yet as a Direct Admit. He received $10k a year in scholarship (OOS) and study abroad. MSU is definitely in our consideration set.
My OOS S23 got his acceptance on Wednesday. He applied on the 25th, and his school (in Virginia) had a thing where the AO came to deliver the news in person, which was pretty cool. He’ll get his aid package later, but according to the matrix it’ll be $10k plus maybe the $1250 for being a grandchild of an alumni.
He wants to do engineering, and they don’t have direct admit to their school of engineering, so that would be on potential road block to accepting. But most of my wife’s family are alumni and one of my wife’s cousins lives right next to the campus and she taught my son how to water ski and wakeboard, so my son would be super happy to be near them.
*Edit - looked at the matrix again, if that was for weighted gpa, then he should be good for the $15K merit based scholarship, which would be quite nice
Admitted 11/3. OOS CA GPA 4.0/4.2 (They don’t get a boost for honors classes.) SAT 1480 single seating. 9 APs/2 DE. Sociology major, planned music double major/minor and super excited about the Marching Band!
Son applied EA in mid-OCT. He’s a triplet. His sisters received their acceptance the first week of November. SIS 1 applied on the same date he did. SIS 2 applied three days later. Trying to keep his outlook positive while he waits. All three have the same admission counselor, and he’s worried he hasn’t heard anything back yet.
Did he apply test optional? If not and his test score was used for admissions, I think it’s pretty standard to want the official test score. My D23 was also accepted and received the OOS and study abroad scholarships and she has no such update on her portal (and applied test optional)
My reply was to DadBodThor regarding official test scores. But I can imagine that your son is stressed - they should all three have been notified on same day
So, apparently S23 misread his portal… he needs to submit his official scores once he accepts their offer. For scholarships he said he got $70K in scholarships over 4 years – not sure which ones. Which we’re thrilled with b/c it makes it more comparable to our in-state fees.
