<p>Freshman2011-I’m not OOS, and I’m not an expert, but here’s my input, FWIW:
Difference between TOTAL NEED and UNMET NEED will not be just a merit scholarship, unless your need just happens to equal the amount of your merit scholarship. My IS daughter’s (and she’s a top-notch applicant) aid package consists of $5K merit scholarship, work study, and both subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Her information does show up online - including the merit scholarship (which I think she was told about via email).</p>
<p>i’m in the same situation as marnick’s daughter. I chose umd as first choice before march first, and I know that it was sent out in the first batch of notifications.</p>
