Muhlenberg Class of 2022

While admissions decisions aren’t released for another month, I wanted to make a page for those who applied to Muhlenberg Class of 2022.
Here are my stats:

4.40 WGPA
Test optional
Intended majors are theatre and political science

‘Stats’:
-can’t really share my GPA because it’s very complicated to explain the equivalent of our grading system
-1250 SAT (so great at standardized test taking lol)

Extracurriculars:
5 in the CApp slots (the most important ones - with experience of 4-5 years+) , but many personal experiences and volunteer work in the additional information section

Intended major: Computer science (or double major with mathematics or maybe chemistry)
Possible minors (applying to Muhlenberg’s academics): Economics, Music and Physics

Applied as an International Student :slight_smile:

One of the top choices for my D:
4.1 WGPA (3.7 UWGPA)
27 ACT
Intended major History & Theater (either major or minor) and maybe Ed program

Would love to hear any insights into this year’s notification date for RD…I think I read that it was 3/13 last year…fingers crossed! Good luck all.

Point of reference: My daughter received her acceptance letter last year on 15 March, but we’re in Alaska, so she got it a day or two later than most people did.

Muhlenberg is targeting a later decision release date this year: 3/26 according to fin aid office. (sigh)

I suspect by the time we hear from them, we’ve attended other accepted student days, and kid be more attached to other schools…I thought it was strange that they had ED to 2/15. Doesn’t leave a lot of time between notice and May 1 for those of us that would need to travel.

According to the Director of Admissions, decisions come out at the end of next week (probably around the 22nd or 23rd)

Got an email from admissions office - decisions will be posted to the portal on 22nd after 5pm

Anybody have their decision posted?

nope, and they said they’d post them at 5:(

Accepted!
29 act and 4.1 GPA

Does anyone know if merit awards would be mentioned in the acceptance letter?

My daughter got her merit awards (via an email pointing her to the Muhlenberg financial portal) a couple weeks after the award letter came. I’m wondering if they might come closer together this year, though, since admission offers were delayed.

ETA: But just to be clear, no, the acceptance letters last year didn’t include anything at all about the financial side.

If you go to the financial aid page, then click on “financial aid online.” A login in spot will be next and you have to either log in to an existing account or create one. Finally, click on the Menu area (left and top of page) and click on awards.

I am wondering if offers to join any of the Honors programs are included in admission or financial aid offers or if those are separate? Merit scholarship was clear on the financial award letter.

@K8sMom My son received a letter a week or two before his acceptance about the different Honor’s programs. With his merit it showed the name of one of the honor’s program and the additional amount.

Thank you @jcmom716 …exactly the info I was looking for! And congrats…do you expect him to attend?
