<p>Congrats to all!</p>

<p>it’s a crazy time for everyone and looking at other boards, news is coming in early for many.</p>

<p>Drexel was first and early acceptance…looking very solid for ds. Just knowing that he has a great place to attend college is so good and as with everyone else, what a great feeling and relief.</p>

<p>good luck to everyone and congrats to future dragons!</p>

<p>I got a honors college acceptance letter today, which i didn’t even apply to i think? But no money =[ I guess it’s because i have really subpar grades and sat.</p>

<p>^Same here. Ah well, unless they give out really good fin aid I don’t think I’ll go there.</p>

<p>yeah im from jersey haha. but good luck with everything & if ya do go to pennstate, enjoy! :)</p>

<p>I posted earlier, but I’ve gotten my letter now so i have more details.
I also got into the Honors college, a 15,000 recurring scholarship and I was accepted into the Accelerated MBA program.
it’s even weirder now thinking that I’m already in grad school in one of my colleges.
It’s an odd feeling.</p>

<p>Yay, got accepted a few weeks back with $15K, got Honors letter today.</p>

<p>accepted to arts and sciences as a nutrition and foods major:)</p>

I’m so excited to attend. :smiley: I received 13k yearly for being a ‘Dean’s Scholar’, whatever that means, and another 3k for my dad having been a student there.</p>

<p>Got my Honors Letter on Tuesday. Really excited about the school, and sending in my enrollment this week. Also was accepted to Florida State lol, but would like to be further from home.</p>

<p>Wait what’s all this about the Honors College?</p>

<p>I got my acceptance today, but didn’t hear anything about the Honors College.</p>

<p>If I got A.J.Drexel Scholarship money for 21,000 a year, do you think the same stats that qualified me for this money would qualify me for the Pennoni Honors College?</p>

<p>^^ The invitation to Honors College will be in your official acceptance package <em>the one that comes in post-mail</em>… i think the 21K will make you qualified enough for Honors College… Good Luck…</p>

<p>Accepted to Honors College + $19,000 a year!</p>
