<p>^ How did you get your RD decision? I think they are not out yet. Can someone please confirm?</p>

<p>This is from early action round 2. Regular decisions should come out in late March or April 1 or so.</p>

<p>Is it true that WPI does not give much merit scholarship funds?</p>

<p>MQD it really depends on your GPA, SAT scores, and ethnic background. I received $10k while two of my classmates received double of what i got even with lower grades but one had better SAT scores and the other person got awarded the Hispanic Scholarship.</p>

<p>WPI RD result is out. 3 of My friends, who are Internationals, admitted today. One of them got Prestigious Presidential Scholarship of $10500 per year for 4 years and WPI will provide need based aid afterwards.
Thanks to all with a hope that you all get good news.</p>

<p>Accepted with Presidential Scholarship ($20000). Will posts stats later!</p>

<p>Btw, will the FA package only come by post?</p>

<p>RD decision letters are up online.</p>
