<p>When we all get our decisions (which should be soon by the sounds of it) we can post up the decision (Accepted/Deferred/Rejected) and our stats.</p>

<p>Here is a quick template:

<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to NEU…?: I got a 10,000 scholarship for my Freshmen year, then it goes down to about 5,000 per full semester after that? A little confusing, but exciting nonetheless. There is a good chance I’ll end up there, but I’m waiting for a few other schools.</p>

<p>@mike0515 The $5000 per semester makes sense because by your 2nd year you’re allowed to start doing Co-Op - Which is a semester thing. That’s why the scholarship goes on a semester basis. If it didn’t, then students can get money from the uni even when they’re not actually in school.</p>

<p>Ah, gotcha. Thanks!</p>

<p>Accepted!</p>

<p>Major: Finance</p>

<p>ACT: 31
GPA: UW 3.6-3.7, W 4.1
Rank: Top 6%
AP Classes: Language & Comp, Physics B, Calc AB & BC, Macro/Micro Econ, Chem, Stats</p>

<p>Essays: Decent, I changed some things around for my regular decision apps
Teacher Recs: Great/Good
Counselor Rec: Pretty Good
Had a rec from my Principal that spoke highly of respect from faculty</p>

<p>EC’s: Two sports, founder/pres of one club, treasurer of business club, week long summer programs both relating to major, Eagle Scout pending, NHS, number of other clubs- couldn’t include them all in common app activities section…lots of leadership</p>

<p>White male from New England, public school</p>

<p>Hook: I’d say it was my number of ec’s and leadership, while I still maintained a relatively high academic standing with a challenging curriculum </p>

<p>General Comments/Scholarship/Status: $60,000 over four years, honors program- semi safety for me, but it feels great after being deferred from Georgetown and it’s definitely an option</p>
